80-40= 40.00 Dollars!

Yay! She did it! Caroline goes potty "alls the times" just like Papa. :) So now my diaper cost is cut in half! She tells me every time she needs to go. We have gone on two 8 hour drives... and yes she stays dry! She has also had the flu and she stays dry! She has never had an accident when we are on the go running errands. She has woken up at 3 am and has come in and told us she needs to go. She sometimes goes by herself.. which I have issues because she hasn't mastered the wiping, but she is amazing. I look at her and wonder where my little girl has gone.
What did it? I got cloth diapers, made cloth wipes, and made my spray solution to spray on her bum. And just as I hoped.. she hated it. She despised being sprayed. We went to panties aka: underwear and every time she had an accident I put her back in a diaper (cloth or disposable) for about a half an hour and she then proved to me she could use the potty and it was back into underwear! We have an occasional accident, but no more cash out in the trash. Hooray! I have put Henry in cloth diapers, and to my surprise. I like them. I see your disgusted look through the computer screen and it's okay, I was there too. I don't use them all the time. Just at home and when they are convenient for me. But for now.. one kid in diapers and one kid potty trained!
