The end is nigh... the end of diapers in our house! About a month ago, Solanne started to poo exclusively in the toilet. Don't worry: I'll spare you the details. And we've been experimenting with underwear. Since I'm the one doing most of the potty work with Solanne, she has adopted the French term for underwear, which is "culottes." It's funny because most of what she says is in English, but then she'll throw in a "culottes" out of the blue.
In any case, two weeks ago, I put the culottes on Solanne and whisked her off to the bathroom every half hour or so. At a certain point in the morning, I got to my house-cleaning, including vacuuming. I guess I lost track of time, because Solanne came running into the office where I was cleaning, and she had a bare bum! She promptly told me she had peed, wiped herself, and flushed the toilet. "And I did't talk to you," she said, meaning she hadn't told me ahead of time.
So now she's in culottes most of the time, except for naps and at night and for long trips. She can and does go all by herself. I'm so proud! And our diaper laundry has been cut by a fair margin. I guess not having babies in the house has its advantages...
