Well, we finally called it ... Baylor is, for the most part, potty-trained! We gave him his reward Lego set, all 405 pieces of it, on May 6th and he has been enjoying it ever since.
We've been waiting to give this to him for months, just looking at it sitting up high on a shelf for him to see and yearn after. It was so great to see the joy on his face when he finally got it.
All the little Lego pieces came in baggies, and Baylor took great joy in tossing them onto the floor to survey his bounty.
Oh, and it came with instructions! Hallelujah!
Lego pieces are generally really small, but I was shocked at some of the accessory pieces this set came with. The little Lego guy was dressed like a mechanic/handy man of sorts, and he came with teeny tiny, itty bitty tools that he can hold in his miniature hand. It's adorable and amazing and infuriating all at the same time; do you know how easily these pieces could get sucked up by a vacuum cleaner?! (If I ever vacuumed, that is ...)
So, all in all, Baylor is potty trained. Yes, there have been days of set-back, where accidents abound and I feel like we were premature in giving him his Legos, but for the most part he's done a good job of making it to the potty and telling us when he needs to go. Nap time and bed time still require diapers; the nap one is almost always dry (but the one time you leave it off he'll have an accident ... trust me), and the night one is usually full because we don't give him much of a fighting chance as he tends to get a lot of his liquids at dinner and just before bed. Obviously we'll have to work on that, but for now we're pretty excited that he's come as far as he has. Good job, little man! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!
