The [boring] life of a SAHM

I posted a couple days ago about Braxton using the potty 3-4 times in one day.
Well, I must proudly say that ever since then he has been going every single day. Not one accident!! (not counting nights) Yesterday he used the potty NINE times! Wahoooo!! :)

It's so crazy how it just happened out of no where.

My family kept asking and asking around 18-24 months, "Is he potty trained yet?" I would tell them we are working on it but he doesn't seem to be ready yet. They would tell me I need to bribe him, or discipline him (when he had accidents on the floor) Basically, they wanted me to rush him into. I told them, he'll potty train when HE is ready, not when I am ready for him to be. I thought for sure he would be potty trained by the age of 2 because of what a huge interest he had in the potty when he was younger (we introduced the potty chair at 12 months and just let him sit on it at first-get used to it) Well his 2 year birthday rolled around and I was a bit disappointed but knew it couldn't be too much longer. So when I found out I was pregnant with Addie I was sooo hoping we could get him trained before she got here so we only have to buy diapers for one kid. Well my due date got closer & closer & he showed no signs of being trained soon. He would go in the potty every once in awhile but it never stuck.

Now he is 31 months old and FINALLY ready! I am so glad! & we still only have to buy diapers for one kid. We still have a HUGEEE stash of diapers for Addie and here pretty soon Braxton won't need them anymore!

I think we're going to get him some Pull-ups for night time & for outtings. He's allergic to the Huggies brand though. :(

Question for mommas that have potty trained before: How long until I can safely take him out in public WITHOUT a diaper on-just underwear? I'm terrified to in case he like, wets (or worse) himself in Walmart or something! Should I give it a couple weeks and keep in diapers/pull ups when we are out or just be brave and let him wear underwear?
