Happiness is after . . .
(On average) 8 diapers a day x 365 days a year
= 2,920 diapers per year! (243 per month)
After 2 years 11 months
8,517 diapers later
Let’s say that out loud:
Eight Thousand, Five Hundred, Seventeen diaper changes!
That’s a whole lot-a poo!
Mommy wakes up to find
Toddler girl did poopie on the potty
ALL BY HERSELF!
Buh bye! Mr. Poopie. Buh bye!
Yes, she really is potty trained. The next problem: getting the courage to take her out without a pull up and face (gasp!) the public restroom! And of course, getting Baby boy to soon follow.
Oh, and before you go check out these two cloth diapering mommies: Diana @hormonal imbalances and Cindy @ Aguilar Family Adventures. To think of all the diapers and money these two eco friendly mommies are saving! What an inspiration.

isn't that the best? No.More.Diapers! Reason to celebrate, indeed!
This really is happiness. Mine is older than yours, a fact which embarrasses me, but we're in the process. It's daunting. But we're about 80% of the way there. The other 20%, though, is pretty gross.
Laura, Thanks very much!! Voted for you as usual!! It is amazing how many diapers these little ones go through!! Mine is at like 8-9 still!! That is awesome you are almost there with your little girl, Congrats, as that is a BIG accomplishment!!
Ugh, to see the numbers all laid out like that!! My youngest is 3 and he is nowhere near potty training . . . so we continue the diapers. I cloth diapered him and his younger sister, but he's outgrown my biggest dipes now. Bleh! Oh, and the public restrooms? Toys R Us sells a folding potty seat that comes in a plastic storage bag. It folds flat and is easily carried in your diaper bag, or left in the van. I adore mine! There are also disposable toilet seat covers at Toys R Us -- I've used those as well. A life saver in a nasty place, that's for sure!!

Ah yes. The potty training. I actually got a break of almost a year, after having two in diapers for two years. Now I'm back in diaper hell, and since he's only 14 months old, we'll be in it for awhile. Can't wait to use all that money we're spending on diapers to buy myself a new pair of shoes - or three!
That is definitely reason to celebrate!!!
That is one of the biggest joys I can possibly imagine!!! :)
