**Travelling question!**
I'm finding this very confusing, so I want to solicit some outside opinion.
DS is 2-1/2. He uses the potty quite well, but not 100%. He has a wet diaper in the morning, although he has woken up dry, he tends not to want to use the potty first thing. He definitely has control and can produce (
)if on the potty. Like if he's on the potty and I'm reading a book and I tell him that he either needs to actually use the potty or get off, he will squeeze out some pee.
Tuesday/Wednesday he wore underwear, his request. Tuesday, one wet accident. Wednesday, one poopy accident in afternoon, DCP put him in a diaper after that. Today, he did not want to wear underwear and requested to wear a diaper. (Maybe he didn't like the poopy accident?)
The situation is that we are going on a 2 week trip to China in 1 month. This entails a 13 hour plane flight to get there, less than ideal bathroom facilities in some cases, no washer, etc. Lots of travelling and being out and about.
Do I go ahead and push the underwear? If we weren't going to China, I would probably just limit the diapers for night/nap time and go gung ho with the underwear the rest of the time.
His DCP takes him to the potty regularly and he usually (even when not doing underwear) has only 1x accident per day. The DCP is willing to do whatever we want. There is a slight language barrier when I talk with her - DH is fluent in Mandarian and can comminute better with her if there's something we need to be asking or communicating with her in particular.
So if you could just share with me what your next step would be and why, I would appreciate it! DH & I just aren't sure.
