Admitting it's over

cedenton

So, when do I admit that our CD journey is over? I think it's probably a little too early now, but it's coming soon.

DS started potty training last week at DC and therefore home.  No diapers except at night since then.  We went all day Tues. and Wed. with zero accidents.  His teacher said he was doing so well they plan to move him to the next room (the recently potty trained room) next month.

I could still use his overnight diapers, but we have a whole jumbo box plus some of sposies I bought on sale so it almost doesn't seem worth it to wash the occasional ON diaper versus just destashing.

I'm a little worried about a regression (especially with them moving him to a new room so soon), but I don't think we'd backpedal at this point.

DH made a joke about me losing my identity without CDs.  He said it to be an asshat, but yeah...I'm gonna miss it.  I gotta say, I haven't missed washing them this week, though.   And tiny underwear is almost as cute as fluffy butts.

FWIW ON diapering was actually not a big deal. I did a prerinse separately and just washed with towels or whites.

Into+the+Kitty  I know it's not a big deal.  I just feel lazy.  It doesn't feel worth bothering with all for just one every now and then since DH often puts him in a sposie ON and I don't argue because it's not worth arguing about.  I realize it's not logical.

The tiny underwear does help ease the blow. I will be sad when my day comes.

I was not sad to potty train Asher, I was surprised. I will be sad to train Lola though, last baby....then it will really be the end to CDing.

We're OAD. DH had a vasectomy yesterday. Me-thinks it might be factoring into the tinge of sadness.

Also, surprised might be a good word, too. It was very abrupt. I kinda always thought he'd catch on fast IF HE WANTED to.  But, I literally had one day notice from DC that they would start PTing (if we wanted to, also) so, yeah...unexpected.

For sure it is hard when it is the only baby or last baby.  Its like the last baby thing you give up and cloth diapering is like being part of a community.
