Goodbye Diapers...

... Hello Big Girl Panties!!! I can finally say we are done with diapers (at least until we have another child). I started potty-training Ansley last Monday using the 3-Day Method. The first day was not fun at all with lots of accidents (ofcourse to be expected). Then the second day she finally learned to use the potty without being scared but still wasn't connecting the urge with having to go on the potty.

Wednesday was a great day with only a couple of accidents, and Ansley was really getting it. And finally Thursday (Day 4) I heard the words "I have to go potty". With only one accident, which was completely my fault becuase I wasn't paying attention to her, we had a great day! She is so proud to wear her "Big girl panties". We have the left over diapers ready to take to our church, Ansley is going to put them in the bin for all the babies.... We have been telling her that since she is not a baby anymore, there are babies at the church that need her diapers and she is fine with it :)

Yea, Ansley!!! You just made Mama's day a whole lot easier. Now if you can only convince her to spend your diaper money on candy.... LOL

Congrats, Jen. You work fast. I'm impressed!

Congrats to my most brilliant granddaughter! And such a BIG GIRL she is! Love the idea of giving the diapers to the church. Of course, you could save them for when Mimi and Pops need them........I'm just sayin'! XOXOX Mimi

YEAH!!!!! Congrats to both of you!!! Evan had a great potty weekend too, but we'll really go for it next weekend I think! He tried standing last night and peed all over the floor and then slipped in it. Classic b/c Alex was with him...of course mom wouldn't let that happen!!!

Hey! Saw your message....
I have a Canon Rebel XTI with a larger lens. I think it's a Canon EF 2.8 24-70mm. And a detachable flash. It's a lot to lug around, but I love it!
Then I edit in Picasa (free from Google). It's the best and easiest edit program I've found!
You know how hard it is to take kid pictures. I just shoot 100 and keep a few :)
You take great pictures of Ansley!!!! She is precious. And congrats on the potty training. NO MORE DIAPERS!! Ha Ha!
