No More Diapers?

With mixed emotions, I am reporting that I have no reason to buy diapers anymore. After 150 months of buying diapers, with only a two month break, I will not be strolling down that isle anymore. I'm sure I can find things to spend the extra cash on, and it will certainly be nice not have to change a stinky one; but it drives deep into my core. My baby is growing up. An I didn't even help her. It was almost too easy.

For close to a year, she'd poop on the potty. Several months ago, she figured out the tinkle thing. And more recently, she's been going without even telling me....While at a friend's house, she disappeared for a little while and returned with her pants down. She had gone potty all by herself- at someone else's house! So, as the current sack of diapers dwindled, I decided I would not replace them.

She is doing fabulous. She was dry even at church. So here's to my baby big girl.

Yay for Emma! Not having to buy diapers anymore will be nice. You'll have to do something really fun with all that extra cash you'll now have.
