Literally! Since Michael had been home with the kids for nearly 2 months (I am happy to report that he is back in the working world again as of last week) he really worked with Jaycee on potty training. She has done such a good job! We started with the same potty that we used for Darren, although Darren rarely used it. For those of you that have used a plastic, un-flushable potty training chair, you can feel my pain when your child is overjoyed to see the humongous turd in the little potty. I, on the other hand, stare in disbelief and cringe at the thought of disposing this turd, cleaning the tray and still have an appetite for dinner. Okay, that was an exaggeration, my stomach isn't that weak, but still! So tonight, plastic royal flush potty meets plastic recycling bin.
Although she has an accident every now and again and we are still working on the night time diaper vs underoo battle, she is pretty much potty trained! Man, that feels good to say! It also is a relief to think of no more diapers! NO MORE DIAPERS! Darren wasn't potty trained before Jaycee was born so that means that we have consistently bought diapers now for just over 4 years straight. Now if I were a mathematician I would try to calculate. Since I am not, I will give my best guess at $30 a box, 2 boxes a month for 3 years for Darren and 2 1/2 for Jaycee? I am not even going attempt the math on that one! All I know is that we aren't buying diapers anymore, didn't even mess with the glorified diapers they call pull-ups and Jaycee is going, at times all by herself, on the big girl potty! Woot Woot!
