NAPPY FREE! NAPPY FREE! NAPPY FREE! NAPPY FREE! NAPPY FREE! YAY!

Yes boys and girls! At the ripe old age of 2 years and 11 months. We are finally nappy free night and day!

If he falls asleep before his last wee at night we slip a night nappy on but it’s always dry in the morning and the second he wakes up, he’s dashing for the loo.

I really like how our laissez-faire approach to potty training has paid off. He was being trained at school primarily and we followed up at home but did not push him and didn’t make too big a fuss of accidents. We rewarded good potty behaviour and commisserated if there were any accidents.

We also pushed the whole big boy thing. Big Boy bed, big boy clothes, big boy shoes and big boys don’t wear nappies. He is so over being a baby, it worked like a charm.

Yay for us. Now, where is the money I’m supposed to be saving from not buying nappies going? I still don’t see it.

PS: We have a retro style clock that we set for every hour and when the alarm bell rings . . . POTTY TIME! POTTY TIME! POTTY TIME! He drops everything he’s doing and it’s a mad dash for the loo. So sweet.
