So, my 3-year-old son is making pretty good headway on the potty training, enough that he uses his little potty several times a day and has stayed dry through two naps this week. He actually WANTS to go to preschool, and has made a little friend of sorts there (we are there daily to drop big sister off), but we need to finish potty training and get the undies on first. I would LOVE to have this done during this school year while his sister is still in the classroom so she can ease the transition for him.
So, we are SOOOOOOO close to the goal, but the problem is this: He just does NOT want to wear the cloth undies. We picked them out, they are Diego and Thomas Train undies (the two things in life he loves!), he was excited to OWN them, but getting him to actually WEAR new types of clothing is always a struggle. It takes months each spring and fall to transition him into seasonally appropriate clothing (i.e. long sleeves or pants vs. short ones). So, while he seemed pretty stoked at the idea of big-boy undies, he had a meltdown when I suggested he try them on. I've brought it up a few times since, and he always responds, "No wear undies!!"
Anyone have a kid who is like this (or experience being a kid who is resistant to new clothing)? I would love suggestions on how to ease the transition from Pull-Ups to cloth undies. I don't want to just MAKE him wear something he seems terrified of.
I wouldn't even care, but he talks every day about how he's going to be going to preschool and he's always bitterly disappointed when we leave his sister and he has to come home with me (and this from a boy who screamed blue murder at the beginning of the school year rather than set foot in the school building).
