We were married in 1997. Eleven months after that we had Austin. 15 months after Austin came Jetta. 27 months after her came Reagan. 32 months after Reag came Ethan and 23 & 3/4 months after Ethan came Ambria. So what am I getting at???? DIAPERS/WIPES!!!!!!! Lets just say that we've spent a small fortune in buying such necessities. I thought I'd total everything up this evening. I didn't figure this on buying diapers every week. I did these figures on a 40 week a year. This is what I came up with:
We've spent $4,000 on diapers and $800 on wipes. That brings the grand total to $4800 worth of diapers and wipes going to waste!!
Why have I decided to share this with you? WELLLLLL....as you can see in the picture above...Bia is on the potty. AND...for your information...it only took two days to get her potty trained. WOW!!! I started Wednesday morning, stopped at nap time and didn't continue until Thursday morning. By Friday she was totally potty trained!!! I don't even have to ask her. She comes right to me even if she's outside playing. I'm so proud of her. In a way it's breaking my heart as now my baby is no longer a baby. That is such a final thing in the world of babies. BUT, on the other hand, I'm thrilled to know that I no longer have to buy diapers and wipes. In fact, Thursday I'd bought her a pack of pullups to use while training and she only used one and that was at night.
So...there goes the world of us running to the store for diapers and begging everyone for coupons!! If any of you women get a strange call that sounds something like this...
"Hi. I was wondering if your baby needed their diaper changed..."
....you'll know I'm going through shock!

How awesome for you!! Do you have any great tips? We have tried a gazillion things with Kyle...nothing doing... So, my life continues by running to the store for diapers...
Congratulations!! We are still in the "diaper/wipe" syndrome. Katie talks about going potty all the time and wants to help everyone wipe, but so far she won't sit on the potty long enough to go. I'm hopeing soon. They are so expensive. I'n not surprised at what you have spent. Maybe we should have done the cloth diapers...NOT!! Thank God for pampers...lol.
COOL! Way to go Bia!! Love, Aunt Stacey
Congratulations! That is such a huge milestone. We too are diaper free for the moment. Not to last long since we have one more to go. Just waiting for him to make his appearance.
wonderful news. now if you could just get the one standing behind Bia trained, i'm sure you would be thrilled!
