Goodbye Summer...Goodbye Diapers!!!

Today marked the last official day of Summer as I head back to school tomorrow. Instead of simply wearing black and sulking around like I usually do, I decided to throw a little party celebrating Lauren's hard work in potty training and say a final goodbye to the diapers. Here are a few of the highlights. First Lauren got all dressed up in her tutu.
Next she proudly used the potty
And washed her hands.
And here is a better photo of the expensive stool I ordered that still won't reach the sink, so she stands on the tippy top (non) step. How very safe no?
Next Lauren packed up all her leftover diapers to send to her friend K. (Dave, if you're reading this, don't be weirded out when a box of diapers shows up on your doorstep. We forgot to include a note :)
After all that work, it was time to watch an educational potty movie.
Let us not forget the delicious ice-cream, (Mama was too lazy tired to make a cake.)

Looks like a fun last day of summer! Good luck with the school year and Lauren looks adorable in her tutu!

That is a great idea! Yay--way to go Lauren!! We were 'lured' into yet another potty present yesterday...Kyle really wanted a Tiger baseball hat so we 'rewarded' him for sleeping all night in his big boy underwear Saturday night. Even though he wakes up dry every morning, I'm not quite brave enough to ditch the diapers/pull ups yet!
Good luck going back to work!
