Diaper Free Home!

After a few weeks of hints from our beloved babysitter Tracie, we decided to potty train Lauren.  At 22 months, we were a little leary and not sure if we were up to the challenge.  Let me tell you, Miss Lauren was ready!  We are 12 days in and having huge success!  We have certainly had our share of accidents, but our carpets needed cleaning anyways....

Here she is, first time on the big girl potty.  She was still wiping sleep from her eyes as we made a mad dash for the bathroom.  

There she goes; throwing away her diapers and all diaper paraphernalia.  I used Bum Genius washable diapers with Lauren.  Here is my only regret:  I wish I would have used them with Elise.  I love it, and loved the money we saved.  Scott was a real *trooper* and didn't complain one time.  They were super easy and not to mention...adorable!

Yay sissy!  Elise cheering her sister along the process!

And there she goes.  After 8 days she started telling us when it was time.  She can be quite subtle, but we have learned her language.  We are so proud of her, and I don't miss toting the diaper bag all over the place.  Thanks to our friends who recommended "Potty Train in 3 Days" by Lois Kleint; we have had huge success with both our girls.  

Awe, a little sad as our baby is growing up, but these milestones are so wonderful.  

We are so proud of you Lauren Grace!
