Diapers

We have created an understood rule in our household. Only one child
will be in diapers at a time. As such, with "Daniella2" on the way
shortly, we had to begin getting "Daniella1" (aka - Mia) out of
diapers.

We began the process of potty-training over a year ago. Very slowly,
we got Mia comfortable sitting on the potty and, as possible, going
pee-pee (sorry for all our friends w/out kids - these are the topics,
and language, of import once you create a child).

Finally we decided we had to take the plunge. This past weekend was
potty-training weekend, and all indications are that Mia is a pro. She
has actually resisted her pull-ups, which we only use for nap and
bedtime. We wouldn't mind leaving her in training pants during
naptime, but we aren't yet prepared for wetting the bed. That's in the
works.

I should be clear - whenever I used "we" in the account above - I
really meant "Ang." She has been reading, planning, and talking up the
wonderful aspects of this venture. I was more the follower and
faithful supporter ("whatever you think is best, dear"). Ang has
devoted herself to this, and it has paid off. We will temporarily gain
about $100 a month in savings, until we begin buying diapers again in
August.
