My baby is potty trained! I am finished with diapers and wipes forever! I am so proud of my little guy! He has been pretty close for a while, but even though he could go potty on the toilet when he felt like it, he was pretty sporadic; the motivation just wasn't there. So I'd try for a day or two and then go back to diapers because I don't have the time or the inclination to ask him every 30 minutes if he has to go potty, and I'd rather change a diaper than clean pee out of my carpet. Then my sister came up last week with her daughter, who is Ian's age and potty trained, and her 5 month old baby. We talked a lot with Ian about how babies wear diapers but big kids wear underwear. He is very into being a big kid and if I ever slip and call him my baby he'll correct me and say, "NO! I'm big!" But he couldn't argue with what he saw - the baby was wearing diapers and the big kids weren't. Well, as soon as she left he put on his underwear and hasn't had a single accident. That was a week ago. He goes to school in underwear, runs errands with mom in underwear, and went to church today. We are diaper free!
