Diaper-Free House


This last week we ran out of Pull-Ups, and not that I couldn't buy more but I was determined to unwave my white flag and show Nico that he could go poo in the potty once and for all. He has not wet the bed in 3 nights, but also hasn't gone poo either... but finally on Saturday, he had to give in and finally he went on his Elmo Potty!!! Then on Sunday he asked to go again, so we did the potty dance, got stickers on our chart, poopy candy and today Daddy went and got him Bill and Ben!!!


Finally, I think he has crossed the line and realized Mommy isn't giving in anymore and I am a Big Boy!


What also made me think he was crossing the corner was in the car the other day, he says to me:


Nico: "Mommy, big boys don't suck their thumbs."

Mommy: "No Nico, big boys don't suck their thumbs. Are you a big boy, and are you going to suck your thumb anymore?"

Nico: "nope because I am a big boy!"

Mommy: " You are a big boy, Nico and big boys Poo in the potty like you do!"

Nico: "I know."


Sometimes I think he is a little old Man, who comes out from time to time and this was one of those moments in which I think he is not a baby anymore. So thankfully, this time I was right he was ready it just took me breaking his stubborness to get him to to do it...even though Daddy wasn't so sure. Let's just hope this keeps up, and we really are on the road to a completely diaper free household!


Wish us luck!!!


Until our next adventure....
