No More Diapers!

(for Nate)
When I took off Nate's diaper 2 fridays ago I had no idea it would be his last (the almost full box of size 5 diapers proves it) I "spur of the moment" decided to stick him on the little potty in the living room and see what would happen. Whadday know, we took it slow and we stuck with it!
We had some accidents (only 1 stream on the carpet - lots in the bathroom) and had to learn some totally new things like pulling down undies and "pointing it down."
We treated him with little can
dys at first, then "Cars" cars for big acheivements, but now he is totally excited just to put a sticker on his chart.
Today was the first day I didnt put on the "safety" pull-up when we went out and he stayed dry thru Mervyns and a big grocery trip. Yipee!
Nate's best comment so far: "Look at my microphone."

It's even fun to go potty with friends!

You will use "point it down" a lot :) It should be stitched on a pillow :)
