So, how do you help your wee one understand that not everything he wears is a diaper?

First we tried the pull-ups, but that was long ago before we really started working on the potty thang, and they were just pretty darn silly. I think Milo can actually take his diaper off easier than a pull-up, and they feel to him exactly the same.

Lately, potty training has been progressing with the aid of nudity. He's getting pretty good at going in the potty. What he's not getting so good at his not going out of the potty. He likes the potty, pees in it a lot, has pooped in it a couple times, and gets all excited and pleased whenever he uses it.

However, the fact that we are using the potty instead of our undies/the patio/the floor/etc is having a hard time getting through.

Most recently we picked up some of those training pants-- just like underwear, only thicker so they hold accidents in better. The problem is, Milo seems to think they're diapers.

Eventually, we are going to have to get this boy used to going potty when he's fully dressed.
