I dream about ...

Ocassionally, I hear Ivan yell "no" in his sleep and wonder what does he dream about. I assume he's resolving some sort of daycare drama. Maybe something about toys, etc. Or maybe he's sayibg no to us or is trying to make Mariposa behave. Who knows.

Tonight, like every night, I went to check on him in his room before I went to bed. As I was tucking him in, he rolled over.

"Diapers. I have diapers on," he said in his sleep.

It made me giggle. Now I know what he dreams about.

I wonder if he's slowly feeling the pressure to use the potty. After the initial successful potty training when he's naked, and several unsuccesful attempts to get himto wear underwear, I gave up deciding to resume the training this spring. But we continue to tell him to let us know when he needs to go and keep talking how big boys use the potty. (Lately, he's been saying 'I big. I big boy' as opposed to Allen who's a baby.)

Also , almost all kids in his new three year-old classroom are potty trained.

Maybe all this direct and indirect pressure is getting to him. Maybe he's resolving the potty training issue in his sleep and will soon be ready.

I just hope we're not inadvertently stressing him out.
