Big Day for Nate

As we started getting closer to the fun summer school sessions at Nate's new preschool, we wanted to make sure he was potty trained, a prerequisite for attending. So on Saturday June 2, we told Nate pull-up diapers were now only for night time since it was his birthday month. He cried, ran around naked for about an hour, and said how scared he was of having an accident. Only when Gina started leaving for the grocery store did he put on his underwear. We all went along, and Gina nearly cried with pride when she learned Nate and I had used the bathroom in Safeway. Now, 5 days later, he hasn't had an accident for several days; and when someone asked him how old he was, he replied "I'm almost four years old, and I'm already wearing underwear!" With Julie potty trained for the past few months, our garbage can is considerably lighter.
