The potty came home with us from Wal Mart yesterday.  Ali has already spent some time sitting on it and basically giggling like crazy.

Let the games begin!

For about a week now Ali has been waking up in the morning soaking wet!

His diaper leaks through his pajamas and soaks his sheets as well.

So, I decided that we should try something different for him to wear at night while sleeping. I bought Huggies Pull Ups from Wal-Mart and have been pleasantly surprised with them.

They definitely can hold their liquid! No more waking up wet!

And what has been kind of cool is that we started using them during the day time as well as they are super easy to get on. They are designed a little less like a diaper and more like underwear.

Ali has always fought me ‘tooth and nail’ when it comes to changing his diaper.

Since the day we brought him home from the hospital he wails, and thrashes and cries as if life is coming to an end every single time I change a diaper.

It wasn’t so bad when he was smaller because I could hold him still with one hand and use the other to get the diaper on. Well, now that he is a little bigger and a little stronger, it is all I can do to get the diaper on without losing an eye!

So, now instead of chasing him around, or fearing that I will get hurt in the process, I can quickly slip on the Pull Ups. And I can see how obviously they will be very handy once we move into potty training (which I am gearing up to do soon).

All in all, Huggies Pull Ups are good in our book!

So, I am actually cheating here…

I am starting this blog a couple of weeks before my son Ali turns two on April 18th.

As we approach the beginning of an new era- namely the “Terrible Two’s“, I am trying to prepare for the changes that will be coming in the next year.

The potty-training, the transition from his crib to a toddler bed, adjusting to the arrival of Baby #2 (coming in July), flailing limbs during over-the-top tantrums, and many more milestones.

Hopefully with a little luck, a lot of patience and pure determination we will make it through, and maybe, just maybe the “Terrible Two’s” won’t be, well, so terrible
