We Are All In

A lot has been happening here at the Check house this past week!

First, well Lily can tell you...

...bye-bye diapers!

Last week Lily and I talked a lot about going to the bathroom on the big girl potty. If you have kept track of her progress she has been on the verge of doing this for quite awhile just too stubborn to do it completely. Why would you go to the potty if you have a diaper on? It's easier just to go in your diaper. So, last Saturday we said good-bye to diapers! Of course she wears the night pull-ups for nap and bedtime but rarely goes in them.

We have continued to use her sticker charts and she is really into them. She filled an entire paper full of 40 stickers in less than a week which got her to pick out a toy at the Disney store. We are now working on a page with 60 boxes to get her next present.

We have made several trips out with only one accident (luckily Mike and I were both there) and few trips to the bathroom. She has used our travel potty twice and is getting used to it a lot more.

We couldn't be more proud of her!

Now to the second part:

We are now using cloth diapers with Miss Emma.

Our friends, The Bonfiglios, switched to cloth and actually gave us the idea. I did a lot of research and seemed something that we wanted to give a try. The thought of not having to buy many diapers was a very big incentive!

We also started this venture last weekend. Now that I look back at it, doing both of these in the same week, probably not the smartest idea but oh well.

There are endless options when it comes to cloth diapering and seemed as though we just needed to find some that worked for us. We found covers and inserts that are great so that all you have to do is replace inserts throughout the day. Not too bad.

So, now to the title of our post.

Last weekend Mike and I would look at each other because there were times that we both wanted to put Lily into a pull-up or Emma into a Huggies. And, we would just say...All In. You either commit and jump in with both feet or don't bother doing it at all.

So, yep, We Are All In.
