After months of on-again, off-again potty-training, I finally decided it was time to bite the bullet and get down to business. It didn’t happen overnight. We had a lot of these:
I’m glad we haven’t yet replaced our awful carpet, as it has acquired several new stains over the past few weeks. Now, we have an additional $30-$40 a month to spend on something a whole lot more fun than diapers . . . like new carpet!
We're still using a pull-up at night, but I'm okay with that, and know those will be unnecessary soon enough!
I still have a small backpack in the car with a change of clothes—just in case, but it has only been used a couple of times, and mostly for spills in the car.
I feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment in having raised three kids past the point of diapers. I realize that the worst is yet to come.

But for now, I’ll bask in the diaper-free home, and relish the new-found independence!

Isabel is about 90% potty trained and I can't even begin to express the joy of no diapers for a few months. I too carry extra clothes everywhere we go. Congrats!
That picture of Grant is hilarious. It just cracks me up. I love it. I have to say that potty training Mallory was an absolute breeze and I can't believe we didn't do it sooner. It's the best! I'm SO done contributing to the landfills .. until September that is. =o)
Ahhhhh! The mom in that comic sounds just like me - only I hadn't thought about the next phase of life beyond diapers. Maybe I will bask in the innocent glow of stinky bums for just a little longer if it means I don't have to worry about dating issues :)
