9 years, 8 months

Every day for the past 9 years and 8 months, we have changed diapers.  Every. Single. Day.  Its been a long and expensive 9 years and 8 months! We finally have a big boy and no longer need to change diapers all day every day.
We've been talking to Zach a lot recently about using the potty, wearing underwear etc, but he just didn't care. We've had him in pull ups, set timers to go potty, bribed him like crazy and nothing worked.  Finally, 8 days ago, he kept his pull up dry all day.  We went for it last Monday and put him in underwear.  He went all week long with no accidents!  Its been amazing. He's not ready to go all night yet, but I can totally handle 1 diaper or pull up for night time.  He gets bummed when he has to take his underwear off at night so I'm guessing he'll pick up the night time thing pretty quickly.  Its amazing how much time is freed up during the day.  This is by far my favorite milestone!
