OK this is a repost from the SI board for those who frequent both but I just HAVE to share!
HE IS FINALLY WEARING UNDERWEAR!!!!!
Only special parents with sensory kids would understand this. David, after 6 1/2 years is FINALLY wearing underwear!!!!!!! I am sooooooo darn excited I could spit! (just a figure of speech. Honest I won't)
I have tried everything with this kid. It has been since he started training the first time at 18months. He trained himself at 18months then had a big regression at 22 months. Most skills came back but potty took a while. But never wore underwear.
I have tried boxers, boxer briefs, cool designs, favorite characters, etc. Finally today in the store he saw some Spongebob ones he liked!. I got them a size too big because he hates anything tight and these are jockey shorts. And he has been wearing them all day. Changed them a couple times too to wear new ones.
Spongebob is now my NEW love. That square dude can do no wrong no matter how annoying he is!!!!

Way to go! I understand just how excited you must be, and I'm excited for you!
I love that Spongebob. My kids are sick of it, but if I can get them to watch it, I'm right there with them. Who can resist that cheery little dude???

YAY!!!!!!!!
Whoda thunk that SpongeBob Squarepants -of all people would emerge victorious in The Great Underwear Wars of the early 20th Century? Dave is lots of things, but never predictible.
I am very happy for you all. Now you don't have to worry that they will say if Dave ends up in the ER -sans underwear.
If only Siobhan were here, I woudl have her do her Spongebob laugh. -it's uncanny..

Renee,
Congratulations! Way to go David! I know the elation you feel. Matt just went from diapers to pull-ups..not quite the accomplishment of David, but one step at a time!
That is so awesome! I agree with you about the square yellow dude...I don't personally like him, but the kids do and he seems to be a great motivator for my kids.
I'm so happy for both you and David!

Thanks Guys!
It was so bad that he was the only kid in karate that couldn't spare because he wouldn't wear the cup. He would rather miss out on what I know he would love than to wear a darn pair of underwear.
I have even tried paying him to wear undies, guilting him into wearing undies, having friends show them thier cool fun undies. Nope, nothing. Sponge did the trick! Off to the store to buy more spongies. Don't want him to run out!
