This is a special Lucas Friday…Potty Edition! So, we decided to stop being lazy parents and do the potty training thing with the little dude. We pretty much new that it was time because he would always tell us every time he would go #1 and #2. I guess the diaper thing was so much a part of our routine that we just didn’t get around to it yet. So, we tried it out for the first time last weekend and he did great! I was so proud of him after he went through his first 24 hours without a diaper…I was pretty amazed. Of course we asked him every five minutes if he wanted to go peepee. I’m pretty sure he was thought that we were nuts!
At home, we let him run around bottomless. We figured out that when he wears his little underwear, he kinda thinks they are diapers…total false sense of security and he had a couple mishaps. So, for now, it’s naked Lucas around our house until he gets more comfortable in his underwear. But he kept on wanting to go to the toilet…it’s so fun to see his excitement. After doing his thing, he comes running out of the bathroom and he screams out “Me peepee!!!” while clapping his hands. It’s so cute.
So, here’s to saving some cash on diapers.


Yah! Congrats to mom+dad! I know hte feeling…we are convincing our 2-year-old of the benefits of diaperless living right now…She doesn’t really care for our thoughts, though. :-D
