Last diapers?

I may have bought William’s last package of diapers last Saturday. He’s been asking to go to the potty by himself often, even at times when we (lazy bad parents) have him in a diaper so we don’t have to keep track of him, like when we’re out to dinner. So we’ve had to reform and support him in his decision to be diaper-free. Now we’re down to one diaper at nap and one at bedtime, and since he’s woken up dry the past two mornings, we might lose those pretty soon too. He’ll be three next week, so I guess it’s plenty of time.

The only problem is having to be so conscious of when he last went—I guess we had the diaper routine down so thoroughly that we didn’t even really have to think about when he’d last been changed—we just took care of it. I guess remembering about his potty schedule will get second nature like that soon, and before much longer he’ll be in charge of that by himself anyhow.

I bought 60 size 5 Pampers for $16.97 at the Wal-Mart in Georgetown, SC, where we went for the Easter weekend. Let that be the last and most momentous purchase of diapers.
