the end of buying diapers?...

"I have to go poopie on the potty!". I cannot tell you how long I have been waiting to hear those words! TOO long if you ask me! The whole potty training experience has been such a struggle that some days I just gave up! These children of ours are VERY stubborn & will only do something when they want to do it! In fact some mornings they will wake up & the first thing out of their mouths will be "No BIG kid panties!". Like they knew what I have planned for them & they wanted NO part of it! LOL! So for the good part of the last year we did not potty train at all. I was not going to get any more stressed out than I already was! Costco became our second home because we could get the best deal on diapers there! I did not even revisit the potty training business until the last week or so. And it was not until the past few days did we see some HUGE progress! It all started the night before their 3rd birthday. I was bathing all four of them as I usually do when Cam tells me that she has to go poopie in the potty. Like I have not heard these words before. I did NOT believe it at all but I obliged her! I dried her off & she climbed up on the potty. She sat there for a good bit longer than I thought she should so I went to put her back into the tub when she said "No, I poopie in the potty!". Low and behold she did the deed! I was in awe! My daughter pooped on the potty & I did NOT have to remind her! WOO HOO! This is such a HUGE accomplishment! Does this mean we are near...

Way to go!!! Jackson's potty trained during the day time, but the night time is another story for him. We use nighttime pull-ups then. I can't imagine potty training times 4! Keep up the good work!
