This is very weird.

Sorry-this is related to potty training again. I can’t help myself.

Another week’s worth of sale ads are out, and my main store is advertising a deal on diapers. It took me a minute to realize that I actually don’t need to worry about catching that sale. What a lovely realization. I’ve been buying diapers for 9 years straight(well, it’ll be nine years on September 2nd, when my firstborn turns nine), and it’s really strange to not have to think about buying a bunch more.

Zoe’s doing great with the potty training as far as peeing goes, but until today we weren’t having much of any success with doing anything else on the potty. Today was different, though…she actually initiated a trip to her potty chair to do her more solid business. We lavished her with praise and adulation and threw in a Twizzler to boot, so hopefully she will repeat the performance. She’s been mostly dry at naps and nearly dry many nights too, so I’m vaguely optimistic that the box of diapers I bought right before I started potty training her will be my last box. Even if it’s not, and we end up having to use one diaper every night, I’m still only going to have to think about buying diapers every couple of months and that’s pretty tolerable.

So far, I’ve saved myself $17.76 worth of diapers. That’s nearly a whole box of Luvs that I haven’t had to buy or throw in the trash, and that makes me feel quite cheerful.
