I firmly believe that diapers and Pull Ups should not be decorated with pretty princesses, cute cars or happy puppies. They should be emblazoned with screaming fiery demons at the gates of Hell and scary one eyed clowns. Maybe even come with some sort of horrific aroma like rotting flesh or skunk. I think that way the kids will learn to use the toilet pretty quickly. My daughter loves these Pull Ups more than chocolate chip cookies. Or oxygen. She’s had a hard time letting them go.
She learned to use the toilet to pee about 2 months ago. It was a difficult battle because even after we took away the Pull Ups she would refuse to go to the bathroom and hold it in all day until her bladder was about to explode. She finally gave in.
Now that we have pee taken care of, poop is the next hurdle.
Every night after her bath she stands next to the CD player in her room, Pull Up firmly in place and has her “poop ritual.” She likes listening to French rap music. Yes I know, odd choice of music while pooping, but she likes what she likes. I don’t judge.
Her ritual is about to be halted. Permanently.
This week she has turned 3 (I have a 3 year old?) and the Pull Ups are so gone. Not sure what will happen but I guess I’ll find out soon enough. I just hope she doesn’t try and mimic our dog Mango and poop on the living room rug.

rotflmao, the flip side of diapers decorated evilly ‘could’ include visions of the kids ripping them off and going san serif.
Luckily I never had the problem with any of mine…but I do know of some kids whose parents weren’t ‘all that’ involved with parenting.
Lot of ‘interesting’ things smeared all over, ick. hehehehe
I kinda felt there were some advantages to having grown up kids. Now I’m completely convinced.
