No More Diapers!!!!!

I am happy to report that for the first time in over nine years I have NOT had to buy diapers!!!!!!  Do you realize the significance of this?  For over nine years I have had at least one kids in diapers, at one point I think I had two in diapers and one in pull-ups.And you guessed it that means John and Sarah are potty trained!!!!!  Well mostly potty trained, getting  closer to  100% everyday.


Grandma Sue is to thank for Sarah's success and Paul  is to thank for John's success.  I could write volumes about the process but I will spare you all the details and suffice it to say, I know longer dread cleaning up puddles on the floor, the couch, or cleaning poop out of underwear.  It is just not a big deal.

The funniest thing happened today:  Shortly after we got home from picking John up at preschool, I told John and Sarah it was time to go potty.  They both tromped off to use the toilet while I finished my lunch.  A few seconds later I hear John tinkling in the toilet and see Sarah walking back in the kitchen mumbling something with a tone of disgust.  She had to repeat herself several times before I could understand.  She had been saying, "John went pee-pee on my shirt!"  What? Sure enough there were wet spots on her shirt and pants too.  As I walked to the bathroom I imagined finding little boy water works all over  the bathroom, but thankfully I found just a few dribbles.  As I was helping John finish up and wipe up the dribbles I hear Sarah say in a very authoritative voice, "John, I'm not a toilet!  Don't pee-pee on my shirt!" John's response was something along the lines of, "Huh? What?  I don't know what you are talking about."

Awhile back I posted that I would gladly pay someone to potty train my kiddos.  I intend to make good on  this offer but Grandma Sue and Paul your payment will be a bit delayed. Payment will be made as soon as my laundry bill returns to normal and when I no longer have to keep a large supply of Lysol wipes handy.

Yay for Sarah and John!! That is such great news! Nine years is a long time! I have for sure had my share of diapers, but I had breaks between kids. You should get some kind of a diaper trophy!
I'm laughing about Sarah's comment "not being John's toilet.
That is a great idea to get a pedicure.
