Going "Commando"
The potty-training has been progressing. I would say "progressing nicely" but we've had a few setbacks so let's just say "progressing."
We've allowed the boys to go without underwear, if they want, hoping they will be more inclined to tell us they have to go to the bathroom. Peter has discovered that he prefers going without his underwear and has taken advantage of the situation by going "commando" all the time now. Nathan has gone back and forth on the underwear but he's much more comfortable in clothing so this isn't as much of an issue for him.
Our major setback is that the downstairs toilet has been out of order since Friday. We've had so much new construction in the area that the county's sewer lines are overloaded (there is no pun intended here).
It rained on Friday, so as you can imagine, we had issues with our drains and, unfortunately, still are. The downstairs toilet doesn't want to flush (at least I can say we are not acquiring any "water" from the streetside of the sewer lines) and our washer isn't draining. So I can't do laundry-- which I needed to do-- and everytime one of the boys has to use the toilet, we have had to run them up the stairs.
This has not been helpful.
Ah, the best laid plans. . . .
