Theodore, like so many other toddlers, loves pegging and posting work! Basically, he loves to put small objects onto something else or into something else. I think it speaks to his sense of order more than anything else. But, oh, pegging is having a moment right now! I remember this phase well with Gus and was more than prepared to give Teddy all the pegging and posting opportunities! This post contains affiliate links at no cost to you.

It was too difficult to ensure Teddy wouldn't wander in front of the camera naked or that the big kids would remember not to have their screen on when upstairs. So, he's been in undies more than any of my other kids were at this age.
A few things to know: Our goal in using undies at this age is only to give Teddy the opportunity to use the potty and to be aware of how his body is working. I have zero expectations for when he will …
