Potty Learning: The Try, Try Again Edition (Part I)

We abandoned potty time six odd weeks ago or so when out of the blue Nate flatly refused to use the potty and truth be told, we weren't exactly going gangbusters even at the best of times. The boys liked sitting on the potty well enough until one day one of them didn't, but either way no one ever did much on it – the break seemed like a good time to regroup and maybe re-approach potty learning with a strategy in place.

Six weeks later, Part I of having a strategy involved trying out pull-ups. If there's anything Nate and Seth like – aside from cars – it's anything "new" and pull-ups fit the bill. In fact, the pull-ups I bought back in December even have (Disney) Cars™ on them, the merchandising of which is moot to my boys, but still... cars!

As it turned out, they were neither here nor there about cartoon cars, but they sure have enjoyed both the new diaper/underpants hybrid and running about yelling "Pull-Ups! Pull-Ups!".

And whether Part I of the "Potty Learning: The Try, Try Again Edition" ends up taking shape or not, the pics I took this morning of my boys having a blast in their new not-quite-a-diaper-not-quite-underpants made it all worthwhile.

Enjoy!

But not so tuckered out Nate couldn't giggle himself silly about it after the fact:
