How do I finish potty training my son?

My son is 2 years and 4 months. He was ready to potty train, so about 2 months ago I had a "naked weekend" and we did the naked from the waist down thing. It took awhile, but now he does really well... when he's naked. If he has a pull-up, diaper, or training pants on then he'll go in them (#1 and #2). When he's naked he does both 1 and 2 in the potty. Also, if I just put pants on him now (with nothing under them) he'll take the pants off and go on the potty with just about 100% success. I just can't send him to daycare with no underwear on under his clothes... I don't think they'll like that.

So, my question is... how do I transition him so he'll keep his training pants or regular underwear dry? Also, what do I do about his daycare? I'm fairly certain that they won't let him go to school in regular underwear if he's going to have an accident.

Any help? Thank you!

    The best way to try the bottom down bare thing is for at least a complete week (I successfully used that method with my little one). Once they have had at least a consecutive week, they should fully know that the bathroom is their only option. However you can try rewarding him and let him know he's doing a great job when he uses the bathroom even though he has training paints on. Often we underestimate children and don't think they understand when in actuality they do, with that said simply explain to him that his training pants is not for you to use the bathroom in. As far as the daycare, just continue to send him in his training pants until he is ready.

    perhaps attempt putting him in underclothes for an afternoon and notice how he does then do it yet another day etc. he will have injuries and it is generally problematic considering the fact which you will ought to bathe clothing greater. yet you ought to take that bounce of have confidence. nonetheless do pull-united statesa. evening till you have countless dry nights, meaning if he takes a cup to mattress, ruin that habit now to make existence greater straight forward.
