Potty Training 101

You know what?

Little else frustrates me more nowadays than changing diapers.

My daughter likes to tell me when I'm elbows deep in making dinner that, "I pooped, mama." Oh geez kid, really? Now? Onions sauteing on the stove, hands coated in flour, something boiling over, timer ticking down. "Ok, let's go..."

I decided I was DONE WITH DIAPERS. At a cost of around $50 a month, getting rid of that "diaper bill" would be awesome... but was I ready for this?

Ready... not in a "I'm losing my baby" way. Not in a "this is the last diaper I will change *sniff sniff*" way. I've never been that type of mom, reminiscing of the past of the gross and inconvenient parts of baby life. I breastfed until I was just sick of it, just shy of 18 months, at that point it was more of a relief than saying "goodbye" to that stage. We did the crib until that smart little bugger learned to climb out. Those things we're easy to leave behind. No regrets.

Everybody Poops!

Everybody poops. I want you to know that, first and foremost. But I swear to you, my kid has got to poop more than anyone else. She isn't even shy or reserved about it.
