It's about TIME!

I meant to mention this a week or so ago, but....




...this is big news...




Tanner is officially potty trained!!!

He'll be four in December, so I'm really excited he's come so far.

The recap you've all been waiting for:

We started potty training Tanner over a year ago. We began potty training him at least 4 times. Night time just clicked...I have no idea what did it. He just caught on. He only had two accidents in the last month at night.

What determined this finality of diapers? He wakes up in the middle of the night to tell us he needs to go potty...OR (this is the best part) he'll turn on all the lights in the house to use the potty, then come get us to help him find the arms to and zip his jammies back up. Another perk: No more $200 on diapers and wipes each month. (***correction: Ryan just informed me we spent more like $45 a month on diapers, which means I spent over $100 on random things I can't account for. Darn!)

So here's to you, Tanner:
"YAY!!! YOU DID IT!"

Congrats Tanner! Ummm...where were you buying your diapers at? Even when I had both the kids in diapers and was buying the "expensive" brand we only spent like $100. Maybe I should mail you some coupons! LOL! Oh! In case you use the Huggies brand, buy the sunday paper they ALWAYS have huggies coupons, and you can find Huggies coupons on the Target website every so often. So when you have both you get $3.00 off. Sorry, random tangent :D Go Tanner Go!
