Adventures in Potty Training.

We've been trying to master the dry-overnight ability with Ian. He wears a pull-up to bed, and most mornings he wakes up dry. The standard conversation in the morning with Ian goes like this now:

Ian (as he pats into our room as soon as he sees that the sun is awake): Surprise!!

Us: Good morning, Ian! Are you dry?

Ian: Yup!

So, imagine my surprise when I went into his room this afternoon to put him down for nap, and his basket of pullups was on the floor next to a super-soggy used pull-up. It took me a moment to figure out what had happened, but from what I could piece together of Ian's story, he woke up wet and instead of coming to tell us, or just not caring, he unzipped his footie pajamas, changed his own pull-up, redressed himself, and came to wake us up.

So, in essence, he didn't lie to us when we asked if he was dry this morning. He was. It was during the night that he was wet!

You know, if he is changing his own pull-ups, does he really need to be potty trained at all? :)
