Potty time! Excellent!

You have to say that with the Bill & Ted accent. If you don't know what I'm talking about then we can't be friends anymore.

I had a rather whiny post written about work & stress. But it was boring. I bored myself writing it.

So now we'll talk about potty training, because that's what everyone likes to read about, yes?

Sir Bubs A Lot has been day trained since November. Which has been great because diapers are expensive and we've had a kid in diapers since 2008. So I was quite happy when he trained earlier than his big sis and with relatively little fuss. His daycare provider dealt with more mess than we did - and they were so amazing and helping us get him trained in less than 2 weeks.

That isn't to say we're completely accident free. He is, after all, only 3. But we rarely have accidents during the day. I cannot remember the last time he wet himself in the course of a normal day.

Night time has been another beast. He's still in diapers at night - for now. Pen was night trained 2 months after she turned 3, and Bubs just turned 3 - so we haven't pushed it.

But for the last week he's woken up dry 5 out of the 7 nights and we have less than a week's worth of diapers left. So the decision has to be made soon. Do we buy more diapers and wait until he's dry for a few weeks in a row? Or do we celebrate his last diaper with this box and vow to never buy a new one?
