Emma is in the process of getting potty trained. From my remote "that nice that it's happening" view, it seems to be going pretty well. (Tara may have a different opinion, but Emma seems to think it's going well.)
This is nice. I was worried for a little bit there we might have to be buying 3 different sizes of diapers when the baby comes. This is not such a cheap thing. We have been buying 2 sets of diapers for the past 5 years. It's kind of like (financially, anyway) having a smoking habit. (In a "1/2 a pack bought on an Indian reservation, and not taxed by the state" sort of way.)
Some day, we will be down to 1 set at a time, then finally down to not having to buy diapers at all. Now I know where people come up with the money for things like a new car for their mid life crisis, college tuition, weddings, etc. They just move from spending diaper money to doing these other things.
I plan to get a metallic blue one that handles and curves turns really nicely. A sun roof is a requirement. (Especially since I will be bald by then, so Tara, don't worry, there's plenty of time before it happens...)
What I would like to see is all the diapers we have ever thrown out (still sealed up, of course), lined end to end or stacked in a cube. That would be an impressive sight.

Who says you get to spend the diaper money?!!! I think since I've changed most of the diapers I should get most of the money, or at least we should spend it on nice trips together somewhere without any kids celebrating their non-dependence on us. Who needs another gas guzzling car?
hmm....
I'm with Tara, she should get to spend the money or at least have a say in how it will be spent. However, since you have 4 girls and another on the way, I'm thinking you should probably save every penny of it for weddings..... just a suggestion.
