DJ, like Elektra, has his own potty chart, and he's starting to fill it nicely with star stickers. After 7 or 8 (usually gray - "I love gray!") star stickers, DJ gets a sparkly flower sticker. He likes being able to put the star on the chart by himself, too!
He's been going pee nicely at home, though usually I have to give him the 5 minute warning (I get "No!" for an answer), and then also tell him that he'll be able to come back and do whatever it was I'm interrupting.
I've also noticed that he's not fully emptying his bladder at one time, except maybe in the mornings after he wakes up (if I catch him before he goes in his diaper). Last night, for example, he peed 4 times in 2 hours. I think he likes the idea of getting more star stickers faster! I'm not really complaining if it's teaching and motivating him! Though I do feel like I'm spending half of my evening in the bathroom with him!
Unfortunately, he's not at the point where he will tell you reliably before he needs to go. Yesterday, he didn't have one potty success at Eleanor's. So I've decided that we really do have to just keep putting him on the potty whether he thinks he needs to or not.
In other news, we've been finding DJ sleeping in the hallway in the mornings. When I ask him why, he says it's because his bed is too small. Eleanor asked him what we should do with the car bed, and he said to give it to Elektra. Well no kidding! I guess he is ready to give up his car bed for a true big boy bed! Now the question is, do we just get a bed and frame or do we buy a whole set since we already have a dresser? Decisions!!
