One of my money-saving goals for the next two months is to get Mara potty trained.
That alone will save us about $40/month in diapers (not to mention the space in the landfills). She has been doing great!
We have . . . (and, by the way, this list also doubles as “Things I Thought I Would Never Do . . .”)
- Watched Potty Power
- Learned Huggies’ Potty Dance
- Read books about going potty
- Bought Hello Kitty & Disney Princess underwear at Target
- And perhaps most importantly, Mara has a little friend who is 3 and can go all by herself
Well, it’s finally starting to pay off!
It is Friday afternoon, and we have not had an accident or a wet or dirty diaper since Wednesday afternoon! That includes 2 nights and 2 naps!
Mara runs around the house waving her hands in the air and singing, “No more biapers any more! No more biapers any more!” (I think that’s from Potty Power, but I’m not sure, since I never watched the DVD all the way through.)
I’m not expecting perfection. I know there will be more accidents. 🙂 But I’m thinking: we’re on our way to saving $40 a month!
