Hooray

Well we have been working on potty training S for the last several weeks. I didn't know if we were making any progress. Especially since last week, we did a lot of running around and going to friends houses, which we put him in a pull-up whe we do, because when he is around people he forgets about all else. Well after days of being in pull-ups or diapers and not really doing the underwear/potty thing, Saturday he finally came up to us and told us he had to go potty. And he has done it almost every time since then, when we are home. So I feel like there is some success! Today when we were out he actually told me he had to go twice, but I think bathrooms outside of our own at our house, with his Ernie and Elmo potty seat on him, kind of intimidate him. So I guess the next thing we need to work on is using the toilet when we are in public. But I feel good about the progress, and no longer feel like giving up on it. Although the last several days in the morning when he gets up and is still tired, he fights me to take his diaper off to put underwear. I don't know why he screams and says "No! Diaper!" Meaning he doesn't want me to take it off and to keep a diaper on or to put a new one back on. Is this normal?
