I just wanted to make a quick update about potty training: we are still doing it!
I wasn't sure how I wanted to handle potty training on our long car trip to Illinois and during our stay with my in-laws. But Sven obviously wanted to keep at it. Even though I put him in a diaper for the trip, he kept it dry and used the big toilets at every rest stop we made. I really wasn't expecting that but it gave me the confidence to keep working on it during our vacation.
He did have quite a few accidents while at me in-laws house, and he really has no idea how to take care of #2. He also had a couple of days of telling me he wanted to pee every 5 minutes and then not actually needing to go.
So this is where things stand, now that we are home: If i take Sven to the bathroom every hour or so, he does a pretty good job staying dry. He will usually have an accident a day, though, and he still needs to wear a diaper for naps. I feel that I can trust him to stay dry in public, although he really struggles in nursery (probably because I'm not there).
I'm happy enough with where we are, although we will see how much regression we face in the coming weeks. We do have a new baby coming ...
