With the New Year came new changes for Mikey. We decided it was time to convert his crib to a toddler bed. Up until today he was still sleeping in his crib, complete with bumpers. I couldn't keep him a baby any longer (sad face). Mikey was excited for this change and loved being able to climb in and out of his new bed. It turns out that he was so excited and yet so exhausted at the same time that he wound up taking his first nap here.....
......on the floor of the living room! He has NEVER done that before!
The other new change for Mikey was that he began wearing underwear during the day, starting on December 29. We tried it out after encouragement from Eva, who noticed that he was able to keep his diaper dry during the day and did well on the potty at her house. After he was consistently going at her house for the past three days, we then just kept up the routine. The first few days had some accidents but by Monday, January 2, he remained dry all day! There is no conversation about him telling me if/when he has to go potty, so every so often I take his hand and we go for a "walk". Once we arrive at the bathroom, he will then tell me either "No, Mommy. No potty" (and is correct in saying when he does not have to go) or he will actively pull down his pants, sit and go. I still put him in a pull-up for his naps and a regular diaper for nighttime, but this is definitely a BIG BOY step in the right direction!
Hooray for Mikey!
