Peek A Boo Pattern: Aloha Burn Blocker Suit
Today's Peek A Boo Pattern Post is the Aloha Burn Blocker Suit modeled by Nehemiah. I made this after I made the Hang Ten rashguards for Elijah, Isaac and Joseph so this was made with the scraps from those shirts. You would know the only colors of fabric I had on the shelves were green, red and white! LOL I think he looks like a cyclist or something :)
And a bonus because he is so adorable... (ignore the untrimmed thread...)
Nehemiah loves the Aloha so much he wanted jammies made the same way. I modified the Aloha to make it looser fitting than it would be for a swimmer and voila! He's a very happy camper!

Nehemiah's First (Official) Day of Kindy
Nehemiah did some Kindy work last year but this is his first official year of Kindy... and, actually, he doesn't have to 'officially' attend K until next year because of his October birthday. Anyway... this child is ready for school and has been asking all week when school is starting. We haven't started yet but he did school today and I snapped some pics to share :)
I didn't think to take pics until he had finished Math already. ;) And we do Science and Social Studies as a group class so he didn't do those today either.
He is growing up so fast... the time flies by, that's for sure!

| "YES!!!" He did it! |

| Concentration... |

| Oops... glue on the fingers! |

It Is Done
Well, it's been eight days, I'm calling it done.
It seemed to take forever with Nehemiah but I think that's because he's so much younger than our other sons were. He's asking to go 90% of the time, no day time misses and dry overnight.
Seems wierd to close that chapter and pack up the diapers. I've had a child in diapers for eighteen years and three months. :)

... and so the Potty Journey begins...
Monday:
Nehemiah decided Saturday that he wanted to wear underwear and not a diaper. He said diapers hurt his tummy... lol
He had one pee miss Saturday. Wore unders all day Sunday (even at church, where he pooped in the potty once and in his unders once) and slept in unders.
I don't think he's really ready though. But if he wants to go potty I'm not gonna say no .
Tuesday:
No misses, dry overnight
Wednesday:
Two pee misses and I told him he had to go back in a diaper. He just cried this sweet little pitiful cry... he wanted his underwear and not his green diaper. ;) Wore the diaper for a few hours and had a bm and then back into unders. Dry again last night.
Thursday:
I just don't think he's ready because he doesn't come and tell me when he needs to go. if I ask him if he needs to go potty he will either say "yes", "no" or "not yet" LOL
I guess we'll just see how today goes...
No misses today, dry overnight as usual.
Friday:
Well, had a pee miss last evening and we put him back in a diaper. He just cried and cried... he loves his unders. He wore the diaper all evening and night and woke up dry again. He's back in his beloved unders!
Saturday:
No misses, asked to go potty most times
Sunday:
One miss but Daddy takes the credit for it... lol, asked to go potty most times
Monday:
I guess this is it. I sure didn't think he would be ready so young but he is.
It.Is.Done.
On another note... we have one child who has secondary nighttime enuresis so we purchased a Malem Bedwetting Alarm. I will post our journey here:
So we got the Malem bedwetting alarm recommended for our very deep sleeping son. Tony wanted to try this before trying the chiro and then the ped.
Sat night: he was dry
Sun night: alarm went off at 5:15 am. Woke us up but not son. That thing is LOUD. Tony finally got him awake but, of course, he was soaking wet.
Mon night: 2:15 alarm went off. Did not even phase son. Sound asleep and soaking wet.
Someone give me some hope that this will eventually wake him up
Tues night: 2:15 and 5:30, wet again and alarm did not wake him the first time but did the second time
Wed night: woke up at 5:30 when Tony's alarm clock went off, thought it was the Malem and went to the potty!
Thur night: woke up to his alarm by himself, small wet spot on unders but he stopped the flow and went to the bathroom himself.
Fri night: successful, woke up on his own to the alarm
Sat night: 2 am, half wet before Tony got him up.
Sun night: dry all night, no alarm
Mon night: got up to the alarm himself, still dry
Tues night: woke up to alarm, tiny drop of wetness, went potty
Wed night: wet, alarm went off
Thu night: stayed dry all night
Fri night: stayed dry all night
Sat night: alarm woke him up, already wet
Sun night: forgot the alarm, dry all night
Mon night: woke up on his own, no alarm, to go potty in the middle of the night
Tue/ Wed/Thu: Dry!!!
Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon: Dry!!!
DRY FOR NINE NIGHTS!!!
