No More Diapers
We have bought diapers or pull-ups nonstop since August 10, 2011. Luckily our kids ages are spaced apart so that we didn’t have an extended period of time where we had two kids in diapers. But as soon as Kate was out of them, we welcomed Karsten into our family, so there was never a time where we didn’t buy any diapers. We have made it a solid six years, 5 months and a couple of days of buying diapers.
But NO MORE! We are officially diaper and pull-up free in this household.
And all the people said “Amen”.
After a full year of trying to get to this point, Karsten is potty trained!!
I’ll be honest. Potty training has probably been the hardest parenting task to date, and either Kevin and I are just no good at it (entirely possible) or our kids are just super stubborn (also entirely possible). We tried charts, we tried positive reinforcement, we tried the whole three-day method… you name it, we tried it. Karsten just didn’t care. But I finally figured it out!
The deal was that she could get her nails painted after 5 days, so exactly 5 days later we were off to the nail salon with one excited little girl!
Pink with white polka dots, as requested. Best $12 ever spent. I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this a year ago!

That's an awesome story! I'll have to file that one away in possible potty rewards.
Definitely hoping I remember this with our daughter. Still looking for the perfect bribe for our son… So glad you found her currency!
And I am looking for the perfect bribe for an almost 3 year old boy to use the potty. Praying that I find it soon!!!!!
