why I buy all the kiddie gear online

[walkitout]

R. went off to buy cloth training pants tonight at target. They apparently don't carry _any_. Gack! Who knew? They carry a tiny supply of infant gerber cloth diapers. You'd think they'd have something like this, too, 'cause gerber makes those. But nooooo.

Ordered some Kushies and iPlay training pants online.

Teddy, today, dribbled slightly, came and got me with the Sears potty training book, sat on the potty and peed. Then he _really_ didn't want the diaper put back on, and made it quite clear he wanted something he could pull up and push down, just like in the book. Much screaming ensued. The kisses from a year ago are too small -- they're so tight he can't push them down. Which is why we decided today would be a good day to get training pants.

Cloth training pants aren't much good anyway

They don't hold anything to speak of, so they really had no advantage over ordinary underwear. One of my daughters got addicted to them (she liked the paddy feeling, nothing to do with toilet training) and wore them long after she could use the potty just fine, resulting in getting teased at preschool over wearing "diapers" :( Not that anyone else is likely to suffer that particular problem, but it's the main thing I happen to remember about cloth training pants.

I was too cheap to bother with pull-ups -- we just put the kids in underwear or the not-catching-any-pee-to-speak-of-anyway, but-hey-they're-paid-for training pants and resigned ourselves to a certain amount of extra cleaning. They trained pretty fast, so it really wasn't that much.
