I C U P

My dad and stepmom were in town last week. They came up from Florida to bring my grandmother's ashes back to Wisconsin and to have a memorial service up here. My grandmother passed away in July. She was 94, lived a great life and was one hell of a lady. I will always have fond memories of her and not just because she could take her teeth out. (When I was little I thought she was the coolest because she could. I begged my mom to take her's out too.)

While they were in town, I used my 3 bereavement days and took Andrew to my Aunt Bea's house where they were staying. My stepmom cannot get enough of Andrew and decided that he was ready for potty training. We were planning on concentrating on potty training during Justin's break from school. Nana took him to the bathroom constantly and now he is almost potty trained. He still has a little trouble telling us in time, but if we take him frequently, his diaper stays dry. He even pooped in the potty for Nana. He was rewarded with an ice cream for that. I am glad to have him using the potty and really glad that Nana could be a big part of a milestone, since they are so far away.

If I sound unhappy, it might be because I had just stocked up on diapers. I have 3 packs of Huggies diapers and 6 packs of PullUps. Now to find someone who can use a sweet deal on size 5's.

Andrew is a doll. Just thinking about him makes me laugh. I have no clue what you are going to do with all those diapers. Good luck with the potty training.

I wouldn't get rid of the diapers quite yet! Gracie potty trained almost a year and a half ago but she still wears pull-ups at night. They are dry half the time and I reuse them, but I am not willing to change the sheets when she does need to go at night!!

I am not going to get rid of them yet. Luckily I got them for cheap. Sets of 1 pk of EasyUps and 1 100 ct refill of Kandoo wipes for $3.29.

You make me sick---cannot believe you got pull-ups and wipes for that price!! Wes is still in diapers because of his med's and of course Jack is in them---a box here costs $20!!! And that's the cheapest ones!!
