Diaper-Free Household

I'm typically not one that enjoys discussing my children's toilet habits. However, that said, I am pleased to relay (and boy I hope I don't jinx it by putting this in writing), that we're one gigantic step closer to being a diaper-free household.
We've been working on potty training with Ella the past couple of weeks, and she's finally to the point where she's having more accident-free days than not. And even though we've had her in pullups still at night, if the last 5 - 6 days are any indication, we may not need them at night either. I'm almost beside myself in disbelief.
Keep your fingers crossed that she keeps it up. I'm not sure how much of a revenue hit Sam's will be taking without our monthly diaper run, but they're on their own. This is too cool. :)

Very cool!

Jack's been in pull-ups at night for months now and by all indications he's gonna keep needing them for a while. :)

Yay Ella!

Caroline, just think of all you can do with your "diaper money!" Fancy dinners every night -- extravagant vacation -- heck, the sky is the limit! At over 30 cents a diaper.. geesh!

That's awesome! How old is Jack now??

Duncan did pullups at night for almost a year after he got it figured out during the day.

We'd expected the same w/Ella, but she just might surprise us!

Jack will turn four in June, and he probably started this around his 3rd birthday.

He still has accidents during the day at times -- not because he doesn't know the feeling, but because he's too busy doing other things and doesn't want to miss out on the fun by going to the bathroom.

And the dude can seriously overload a pull-up at night.

But he's a dude. Chicks are easier to train, from what I've heard, read and experienced. Samantha had it down earlier.

At what age did Duncan start saving you money? :)
