At the beginning of our pregnancy, my wife and I specifically requested a child who was potty-trained. If not potty-trained, at least litter-trained, like our cat, Plinko. If not litter-trained, at least house-broken, so we could let him do business in the yard.
As it turns out, our child poops and pees in a diaper. I'm told this is normal, and shouldn't be a problem. At about $100 a pop, I'd say that diapers is money down the drain. Sadly, it's like money down the diaper-pail.
Two weeks in, I feel pretty comfortable changing his diapers. I've been peed on three times....twice by him, once by me. His poop does not yet resemble poop. Instead of turds, it looks like fancy mustard gone bad.
The two worst times involved poop on the peeper before the circumcision site had fully healed. Thus, we had to take him to the sink and let water trickle on his area...baptizing his wiener, in essence.
The circumcision has fully healed. No longer does it look like he's trying to guide Santa's sleigh through a blizzard, and we don't have to put vaseline on him so it doesn't stick to the diaper. I can't imagine a pain worse than "circumsized penis sticking to diaper." I would not luvs that, and if it happened, someone would have to pampers me, or I would vow to blowout every diaper.
Yes, there have been some gross diapers, but I keep thinking, "This is nothing. The worst is yet to come."
Is two weeks too early to start litter and/or potty training him?
