Diaper Free!!

Another exciting thing has happened that we need to blog about. Thirteen years ago, Kaitlin was born and diapers began. I did get a little break in between her and Josh, (she asked to be potty trained when she was 2, and Josh was born when she was three), but we have had diapers for the last 10 years. I shudder to think how many diapers we added to the landfills, but there was no way I was doing cloth diapers, so there you have it. But in August, under the bribe of $10 from Dad, Kaitlin started to potty train Parker after we got home from visiting family in Idaho. Within 3 days, he had it down.

He's only had two accidents since the first of August (that I can remember). One was yesterday, during his nap, because I forgot to take him to the bathroom first. The other was about a week or so after he was potty trained. We were watching a movie as a family, and Parker was on my lap. I started to feel something wet and warm, and I yelled and kind of tossed him off my lap and said, "You peed on me!" I must have startled him, because he turned to me with a wild look and said, "It's your fault, Mom!" So there you have it, both accidents were my fault, in one way or another. He only has to have a pull up or diaper at bedtime, because he's still 50/50 for staying dry through the night. But I'll take it. It has been so fun not to have to carry a diaper bag around. I love it, and I love this kid.
