Golden Pig Tales

So Ezra poops and pees at Pre-school into their toddler sized flushing toilets, but does not poop and pee at home in either of his toddler sized non-flushing toilets. He sometimes sits down on the toilets at home, but only because he happens to be in the bathroom because he is brushing teeth or washing hands. We ask him through the day if he needs to poop or pee and if he wants to sit on the potty, but the only time he responds is if he had pooped or peed and wants a new diaper (because he doesn’t always want to change his diaper even after pooping and peeing). We  have tried a toilet for Christmas, so he thinks it a gift. We have tried letting him make the toilet his own by letting him put stickers on it. We have explained to him that he wouldn’t need to change his diaper as often as we do if he didn’t poop or pee in it. He has wanted to wear underwear and not diapers, but still doesn’t care that much to poop and pee at home to make the transition to underwear. We reason at least he poops and pees in toilet at preschool, but it wouldn’t be nice if he did it at home for we, like Ezra, don’t enjoy changing the diapers of a fussy Ezra.

Ezra’s showing no sign of wanting to pee and poop in anything, but his diapers. And he never wants to change the diapers. Now he wants to wear only a certain type of pull-up diaper that has airplanes on the front, which are new today. The past week he would only wear the pull-up diapers with a police car and a fire truck on the front. There were nights when he threw the same type of diapers with only a firetruck on the front across the room because we had no more diapers with police cars and firetrucks on them. Then tonight he was wearing a diaper with a police car and a firetruck, but then he saw the new diapers with a plane the front and pulled the diaper with the police car and firetruck off in a fit insisting he wear a diaper with the plane on the front. I could only think of how much I hate diapers and wish Ezra would pee and poop in the potty.
