Oh no! not that subject...

I promised myself that I wouldn't write anything about potty training. Is there a more boring subject? No, it completes with Inflight Scheduling as far as outsider's interest go. It also has about the same impact on the speakers' life, well, instead of the result being something like a trip to South America, it's more like, don't have to buy any more diapers and there will be a lot less trash leaving this house.

Okay, it's even worse than Inflight Scheduling. I will admit it that I was much better at scheduling my trips than I was at potty training my kids. I'm sure my coworkers still hear my ghost saying "Nooooo, much easier to move a trip up in the month than to try to send it back, especially on a weekend..."

No, I never had to resort to chocolate but Davina has now gone about 30 hours without a diaper. Yes, at night too. I'm pinching myself...and kissing her a lot!

Seriously, I'm now on seven years and nine months of nonstop diapers. The second diaper I ever changed was my own son's. (The first is now in college but it was greatly entertaining for my mom, her mom and other assorted female family members since it took 20 minutes). I started on August 11th, 1999 and haven't stopped. We once went on vacation with three sets of diapers. Ronnie was still in them at night, Talia was on the tail end of her adventure (can't talk about PTing without a few puns, right?) and Davina was an infant.

We've been on a single diaper track now for awhile. I do think the fact she hasn't started school yet has some impact. She would have gone with the others but she's been at the garderie with the other diaper-wearers.

We went to Plumy Park for yet-another birthday party. Turns out my beloved Kenza lives down the street from us! I'm more excited than Talia. Anyway, back to the... Plumy Park was just the perfect place for her to forget to go...but she didn't!

I suggested to the ladies there to take her with another child. I nervously arrived to see that they had had to change her clothes. They anticipated the look on my face. "No! Madame Dreyfuss. She slid down the slide outside. It's the OUTSIDE that's wet. She's still wearing the same panties"

So far, so good. Even to go get the other two from school...

Also, tomorrow is my last AIA board meeting. I might have to continue to do Newcomer's until they replace me. Last word is that they hadn't. But I'm not doing it next year. I'll still be a member but not on the board. It's been five years! I liked doing it but need to move on. It's been especially good with the babies but Davina's starting school and I want to take classes, lose weight, etc.

I'm running downstairs to check a little backside right now!
