Holy Sh!t - No More Sh!t !!!!!

Please excuse the profanity, but when you read what's coming next I think you'll understand.

Marin is......

POTTY TRAINED!!!!!!  Yes, our 22 month old is potty trained!!

I know - it's absolutely amazing.  I'd like to take credit for this, but really it all belongs to her daycare.  In December they started putting her on the toilet so she could get a feel of what it was like.  They asked me if it was OK, and I was all: "yeah whatever.  Go with it."

Well lo and behold, our little overachiever decided to actually pee on the toilet.

Next thing we knew it was Christmas, and I certainly wasn't about to start potty training the child over the craziness of the holidays.  So once we got back into our routine in January, I decided to bite the bullet and put her in underwear.  As Marin likes to call them: "Unner-wear" or "my Mickey's".    With relatively few accidents, this little girl is trained!  I absolutely can't believe it!


An unfortunate, yet mildly humorous side effect to the wearing of underwear is that Marin can now fully undress herself.  Which means that at any given moment I'll turn around to find a naked child running down the hall yelling at the top of her lungs: "I NAKED!!!!!!"

I know I promised to limit my discussion of 'potty' and  pee and poop on this blog, but you have to understand where I'm coming from.  We have been changing diapers for almost eight straight years.  EIGHT years people!  So you'll have to pardon my exuberance because this is a big freakin' deal in our house!! No more changing diapers!!

Apologies to the makers of Teddy's Choice diapers, your bread and butter family is now officially DONE with you!!!
