So, today we three trekked to one of my least favorite places on earth, Wal-Mart, to buy some undies and a kiddie toilet seat. We bought a Pooh and Tigger potty seat, because it was the only one that wasn't overtly girlie. But the not-so-superstore was sold out of every package of 2-3T boys underwear. I have a bit of a bone to pick with stores in general for never carrying very many boys' clothing compared the the endless racks of pink and purple prints. But the underwear situation was ridiculous. In addition to not having what I needed, I noticed that boys underwear was on average 50 cents to a couple of dollars more expensive than the girlie counterparts. What is up with that?
We headed to Kmart next. Again, the boys briefs were understocked while the girl's stock was plentiful. I managed to find one pack of Thomas the Train undies in his size. It was about 6 bucks for 3 pairs, but I just swallowed hard and bought them so we could stop shopping and start pottying. Steve's main request was that he wanted red undies. I have no idea why, but that was his primary concern.
Here, he's admiring his new duds. I had to fold the elastic over once for a good fit, but I'm pleased with our (overpriced) purchase. And, I'm also pleased with my big boy, who has gone both No. 1 and No. 2 on the "regular potty" and even wiped and flushed himself.
He's napping now, on top of a mattress pad. I fully expect there to be a big puddle by the time he wakes up, but I couldn't convince him to trade Thomas for a diaper.
