Day EIGHT

ONE WEEK DOWN!!!! (51 to go)

To celebrate Annie's one week of EC'ing, we took a trip to the mall to do some Christmas returns. Amazingly she spent most of the time sleeping but woke up in the middle of JCPenny's. I thought she may need to go to the bathroom, so I took her. Yes, her first public bathroom experience barely three months old. Thankfully I had planned ahead and packed her "potty" (with lid) in the stroller. So here I am in the handicap stall (so we can fit both of us and the stroller) saying "pee pee pee pee pee." I can only imagine what the other women in the restroom thought when they heard me: "What is that lady doing? Does she really need to encourage herself to go... I sure hope she's not making her baby go to the bathroom..what is going on?" Well, to make them even more confused I praised Annie once she peed in the potty. Annie is a trooper, most grown ups don't even like to use public facilities...but she went right on cue!

By the way, have you ever looked for underwear for a baby? Well I'm assuming they're pretty hard to come by. I was at Babies R Us today and searched for some baby underwear (for Annie to have in the months to come) but the SMALLEST size was 2T (or 20-28 pounds). Unless she starts lifting some serious weights and eating all of our food each day she won't reach that weight for a while. Now another product to search for online!

The search continues for the perfect infant potty as I find the ultimate best price. Ironically I found one on diapers.com for $10, but it was more to ship the potty than it was for the potty. SO... I'm back to ground zero searching for something that is less than $15 with shipping.

I almost forgot, Annie is making progress in the poop world. She pooped three times in the potty today! AMAZING!!!! Maybe if I add a page to her "Where's the Poop" book with a baby sans diaper and a cool whip container showing the poop she'll really get it!


Today I learned: The diaper industry must make deals with Hanes to only make size 2T and up!
Diapers saved today = 9
Money saved today = $1.80
Money saved to date = $14.80
