Glad I didn't miss it because it's great.<br><br>You're so right. Being diaperless is AWESOME!<br><br>And yes, Pull-ups are evil, yet I was never smart enough to figure that out with any of my four kids. I'd start each and every one of them in the silly things and be frustrated for months before I'd finally just change them into big kid underwear (or panties - can't forget the one girl!) and let them pee all over themselves and the rest of the house (and us) for a couple of days. Then they'd figure it out and we were golden.<br><br>Thanks for the memories!alexandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05652782882347135193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292239566292573987.post-58260090814617027292009-03-17T21:02:00.000-07:002009-03-17T21:02:00.000-07:00You are so lucky!!
