I have finally been convinced that it is potty training time. After one previous attempt in September that resulted in Zach taking off all of his clothes numerous times and running around the house naked and repeatedly refusing to put any clothes on at all I gave up as I was certain he was not ready. Hopefully this go around will prove more successful. Step one was to convince the little darling that underwear do not go on the head but rather somewhere else on the body. Step two was learning that underwear go on under the pants and not over. Step three (our current focus) is me remembering to make him go to the bathroom every 20 minutes or so despite the fits that sometimes occur when he is busy playing and does not want to go to the bathroom. We are spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Step four is the dream that someday he will tell me when he needs to go to the bathroom. My final word is thank heavens for wood floors (facilitating easy clean-up) and washing machines.
