Well, Nicky’s not potty-trained yet. That’s okay with me…he does acknowledge the potty and sometimes he’ll even sit down for a second. He’s also been making a habit of telling me “potty” when he’s about to go, so that’s a step in the right direction. I honestly never expected anything like this so soon.
So, in an effort to be more prepared for when he’s really ready, I’ve been looking for training pants. I thought I’d just run to Target and pick up a pack of Gerber ones that my mom probably used for me (potty-trained by 18 months, by the way!). Leave it to Margaret to show me that there’s MUCH more out there…
She showed me these VERY cute training pants that have snaps on the side, a clever addition to the pull-up training pant. I’ve been poking around DiaperSwappers to see if anyone has any good deals, and of course found several other brands that people like and recommend. Man, they’re just training pants! For now, BabyCenter was having a sale so I bought five pairs (three Gerber and two Potty Scotty). They all got good reviews, so we’ll start with those and see how it “goes”. 
I cannot believe how much my priorities in life have changed!
