i like to potty all the time...

not sure if it's considered bragging, and i'm quite positive that now that i've said it, it's going to backfire, but this house has been diaper free for an entire week!! i never knew how exciting that would be (for me) to have a diaper free house. it's been 9 years (with a little 4 month break back in 2005) of buying diapers, pull-ups, and wipes! that's a long time people! NoNo has been by far the easiest to "train" and the youngest (the other 2 were well over the age of 3). having boys meant not pressuring them in to doing something they didn't want to do, and i was probably a little lazy. boys don't care if they're dirty or have crap in their pants, so why would they give up the luxury of someone always wiping their butts?! i'm crossing my fingers that i'm really done with the training part of proper use of a toilet, but unfortunately NoNo is the type that would pee his pants just to make me mad, especially if he doesn't get his way.

if you're wondering what the trick was...jelly beans and m&m's! dude has a serious sweet tooth (hmmm...wonder where he gets that from?) and it really worked. he decided on his own that he didn't want to wear pull-ups, not even to bed. i'm so proud of him (and myself). speaking of potty time...someone needs to go right now...
