Oh Happy Day!

You know I felt a certain satisfaction when this moment happened for me. That feeling of crossing the plateau of pushing a shopping cart in the grocery store past that isle that contained the diapers, rattles, and other baby related items. Knowing you never have to go down that particular isle again. I still feel it today.

When I shop now I still see that isle and think, WOW I am done there.

Man I just took my youngest to Jr. high the other day for her first time. It goes fast Brother. It goes fast.

Congrats on surviving this chapter. Just remember the car you have to buy her will be here before you know it.

That is a great photo. Cherish it
 
I'm about 99% there with my oldest. Of course now we have to go into every discusting public restroom we pass and stop for roadside pees on a regular basis.
 
The next big step is when you can sit back and tell your early teen child to go mow the lawn. The miracle is if they actually do it.
 
Geoff,

We're working on the three year old right now. He's still afraid of pooping in the potty, and using diapers at night because he's still learning, but he's in Lighting McQueen Y-fronts all day long, now.

When I saw my oldest kid do that for the first time, all I could say to myself was THIS!

What a great contrast...I just responded to junkman_56's post about taking our first born to college for the first time and the next post I open is yours!

AWESOME!

Congrats...now take the diaper money and put it away for college!

PS: now you have the pleasant task of teaching her to wipe her own ass!...that's the funniest part of all :laugh:
 
Congrats!

Indeed, it was a memorable day in my life as well when my youngest was finally potty trained!

Now they are teenagers with my oldest starting his senior year in High School and the youngest a Sophmore. they grow up so fast, enjoy it while you can!
 
I told my son's story once in the chat room and I'll pass it on again. Brian has always marched to the beat of his own drum. He was the last child in his daycare to walk. Not because he was slow or disabled or anything else. He just didn't want to. Then one day he decided he was tired of crawling. He just got up and started walking. Unbelievablly and fortunately I had a video camera going at the time and caught most of it.

The same thing happened with potty training. He lagged behind. Having a full training diaper didn't bother him at all until one Saturday afternoon. We had put him down for the afternoon nap. I went to his room to wake him. As I opened the door, a familiar aroma greeted me. I opened the door and looked in. Apparently sometime during his nap, he had a bowel movement. This time he decided he didn't like that gushy feeling. He got up, walked over to the changing table, grabbed another pull-up, started to walk back to his bed, stopped in the middle of the room, and tried to change his pants. He got the full one down to his knees before he gave up, laid down on the carpet, and went back to sleep. The contents of the pull-up were all over his legs and had spilled out onto the carpet.

I calmly surveyed the situation, quietly closed the door, and went back downstairs. I casually told his mother that her son wanted her. She went upstairs. About a minute later, I heard her screech my name. "JOHN, GET UP HERE!!!!!!". The woman had no sense of humor. I tossed the boy, clothes and all, into a tub full of water while she cleaned the carpet. Brian was fully potty trained after that.
 
Geoff - thought you'd appreciate this....like father, like daughter! :D

Congrats brother! What a great Christmas present for you to receive. LOL
 
ROTFL . . . the look in her eyes says it all, Geoff. You're a dead man! :laugh:

No kids, but had my little grandnieces (6 and 3) over for Thanksgiving. In four hours they went through two "Giant" rolls of toilet paper and were in the bathroom, by my calculations, roughly every 17 minutes. Together.

When I said that seems a bit excessive and asked them to stop running from the backyard to the bathroom so often, they stayed out there till the youngest peed her pants. Guess Great-Uncle Boar is scarier than he thinks! :rolleyes:

LMAO! How did I miss this thread the first go around. The pictures are classic Geoff & Greg.

I got lucky with both girls. They were both completely potty trained by two, including bed at night.

My boy however, took until about six before he didn't have to do the nappies in bed at night.
 
My son, who will be 3 in January, is finally potty trained! Here is a funny pic of him:
