8 years of the whole diaper thing coming to an end....HOORAY!

Eight years of changing diapers is coming to an end here shortly. My baby girl just turned 2 and is almost done being potty trained! I can feel the end nearing..........hip hip hooray!

 

2??? My oldest (boy) was 3 in July and STILL not trained. Although we are making a little progress I guess.

My 5 month old (also a boy) has a few years to go but I hope he will go quicker as I will have his older brother to use as an example.

Congrats on graduating!

 

She is 2 and almost 2 months. Both of my girls potty trained early. My son took until about 3.

 

thats awesome! my daughter is potty trained, my son is 2 1/2 and isn't quite all the way, and we have a third on the way this april, so it will be awhile for that one.

 

Same boat as you. I have an 8, 5 & 2 year old. We are close, the last year of an 8 year run!

 

DC....8, 6, and 2 here. I am not saying we are not going to have another child but dang, I could use a diaper break! We went shopping today and she went to the toilet in the store. I was pumped up for the little one.

 

All mine are boys, so we had to go the FULL 3 years! haha. I CAN say we are not having another. I took care of that this summer!

 

Dunno Brett, after the tooth fairy incident with my daughter a few weeks, kinda missing the old days...when they were young and totally innocent.

But not the stinky diapers.

 

Little one is pretty much trained, and now we are going to start all over in Febuary...

 

I hear you Sean. I had my own tooth fairy incident a couple of days ago. My 6 year old son lost his second front tooth. As I put a couple of bucks under his pillow while he slept he literally reached out and grabbed my hand and sat up in bed! ummmmmm. I had to just slowly rub his face until he fell back asleep then ran out of the room with the darn tooth.

 

Cool.....have you ever tried to figure out how much cash you laid down for all of those diapers? My kids are just over 11 months apart so the oldest....my daughter would outgrow one size but the younger....my son would still be in it. It was a long few years. I couldn't imagine eight years.

 

My son is 8, meany pants (aka my daughter) comes down that morning and tells him "daddy is the tooth fairy, I caught him last night putting a dollar under my pillow". All he said was "that was mean".

He's still gullible - you have a few years. She's 10 going on 40 and a huge pain in the a$$.

 

LOL.. Congrats, Brett
My daughters were 14 months apart (now 9 & 10)... but I remember those days! I spent so much money on diapers and formula over a 3-4 year period, it felt like a lucky lotto ticket when it all ended!

 

I swear diapers and wipes must cost $100 a month!

 

nice! now once you get em all on the bus to school you might be able to breathe! hang in there, shoot next thing you know it'll be graduation day =-)

 

ugh, my girl is 8.5 and still in diapers (she has down syndrome), so i totally understand your appreciation of this moment and I'm waiting for mine still... congrats

 

Seven, how is your daughter progressing in school? What types of things does she enjoy doing each day? Take care and I know the time will come when she can get that diaper off! Bless her heart.

 

Oh man you gave me flash backs I here ya Brett, congrats Bro!!

 

she's doing well, loves school... she adores her little sing along videos so she does that a lot... loves going to the zoo, animals are kind of her thing... and I don't think she enjoys anything more than playing with her brothers...

 

Seven, do you think there is a chance someone will let her work with animals when she becomes a teenager? She could possibly help out at the county animal shelter or with pet adoptions. Just some thoughts. I was a special education teacher for years, working with emotionally disabled kids, and my brother has been teaching autistic kids for the past 11-12 years. We both have special places in our hearts for special needs kids.
