THE POST THAT WILL BE ALL SHOUTING AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!

Don't say I didn't warn you!

Hey Alex, what's that you're pointing at?


Oh that's your sticker chart? For potty training? And it's completely full!


ALEX WENT ALL WEEKEND IN UNDERWEAR ONLY! That means....

WE ARE DONE WITH DIAPERS FOREVER!!!!!!!!

(except for naptime/nighttime pullups until he is sleep trained)

(and we still use swim diapers in case of accidents because we've been at the pool when a "potty trained" kid shut the pool down for eight hours a la Caddyshack. so not worth being the parent who has to do the ultimate walk of shame as the pool closes and everyone goes home)

(Three years of diapers with two boys and NOT ONCE did I get peed on. That has to be some kind of record, right?)

YAY ALEX!

And again, someone pinch me because we are done with diapers FOREVER!

That's a mighty nice sticker chart! Go, Alex, go! My dad is 74 and remembers getting gold stars for brushing his teeth as a boy. Stickers are a great thing.

YAY! Congratulations! I foresee a few emails coming your way in about 5 or 6 months.

YAY! I am a firm believer of potty bootcamp! This is how we got Nathan trained. And yes, yes, do keep that swim diaper on! lol! I know I will be...

Sadia said...

Congratulations!!!

Hmmm ... perhaps we were premature in giving away the swim diapers, but Jess was SO excited to do so.

Mommy, Esq. said...

Weee! Go Alex!

Sandra said...

I'm whooping it up for you! Great news! Congratulations!
It would be interesting to take the money you would have spent on diapers, put it in a jar or an account and watch it grow - maybe you could pay for college with it!

Stacey said...

Congrats Alex! Is he really proud of himself?

Cathy said...

Congratulations! That is very exciting!!

Bren said...

Yeah! Congratulations! I am so jealous since we have only just started the process.

Joanna said...

LOL! Way to go Alex!

I think that it's only fair that you have never been peed on. Raising twin boys is a lot of hard work, you should get a few little perks like avoiding the spray.

London said...

Congrats!

Megan said...

Yeah! I was thinking of you guys this weekend. Wondering how 'booty camp' was going!? Is he happy!? SO awesome!!

So pleased for you guys! DONE!!!! I think you should re-post that amazing picture you took 2 years ago(?) with the tower of diapers in honor of never having to buy another again. Do you remember? Holy cow you are DONE!

JenFen said...

Big accomplishment. Looks like your plan worked. Congrats!

YIPPEE!!!!!!

Susan said...

I haven't been in diapers in a long time but I can still smile when I hear a family is over them ;) Yah for you. It is a huge milestone.

Janna said...

Congratulations! Yay for Alex! Yay for the family budget! Yay for you never getting peed on!

Libby said...

The most amazng part is that you never got peed on. Ian is 8 weeks old and has already gotten me.

YEEEEHAW!!!!!!

I can't imagine not having diapers in the house anymore...I just can't imagine it. Nor can I imagine NOT getting peed on in 3 years with two BOYS! C'mon...not even in the early weeks???

WAY TO GO!

P.S. Where-o-where did you get the Dora stickers? My kids are obsessed with Dora. If I had a penny every time we heard them shout, "oh, maaayyyyn!" everytime they dropped something, etc., I'd be a rich woman. But hey, it saved out booties with all the driving we did while on vacation. I need the Dora stickers for PTing Boot Camp in September.

Wooohooooo! Pop the cork on the champagne, my friend. This calls for CELEBRATION!!!!

Karen said...

That's awesome! And I can't believe that you never got peed on and have 2 boys. I have gotten peed on from both of my children.
