No More Diapers!

I like to think of myself as an optimist, but I sometimes wonder if the skeptic in me and my somewhat realistic approach to life come across as pessimistic. I'm a planner and I find that I often hope for the best, but also plan for the worst (just in case). My mother always taught me, "if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is". I think she intended that more towards all those marketing scams, but I find that I've applied that to much more.

You can see how someone like me would have a hard time announcing that after almost 8 years, we are diaper free. It's only been 8 days, but really... knock on wood.... I think we did it! The first few days started out slow, but Emma has surprised us with her independence and even takes herself potty now.



Emma is so proud of herself and seems to walk with an extra skip to her step. It may just be that much more comfortable wearing underwear. Anyone who stops to ask her about it will get a proud show of those too.

Way to go Emma!

I keep waiting for a set back, and it may still come, but for now I am loving that I haven't changed a diaper since last Friday! Yahoo!
