Potty Trained?



I think Grant is finally ready. Well, I think the important thing is that I am finally ready.

Grant has taken the initiative and requested pull-ups instead of diapers and has put them to good use. He's been going poop and pee without even telling me. I'll just walk by the bathroom and he'll be sitting on the potty doing his business. Heck, he could be in underwear before Adam gets home. Sweet!

Wow, I haven't had a house without diapers for nearly 8 years. I just did the math. Let's say we averaged about $45/month on diapers. Sometimes we had 2 or 3 in diapers at a time, so really it's probably more. But, For 8 years, $45/month it comes to a whopping $4,320 that we have spent to diaper our children, and that's not including the wipes.

Yikes! That's a lot of money and I'm sure we're right up there with you! Ben has been good about going on the potty, but I've been a slacker - Boys are sooo messy! But I will have him trained before this new baby arrives!

Can I just say I'm so stinkin' jealous? I don't think my kid will ever be potty trained. UGh.
