My kids are now 5 ½ and 3 years old and fortunately the potty training gods smiled on us because both were day-time trained around 2 ½ years of age. Thankfully, our oldest (a boy) was trained about 2 months before our daughter was born. He wore Pull-Ups at night until he was 4 but our daughter quit wearing pull ups when she was about 2 years and 9 months old. Ah, it’s so nice not to have buy diapers or Pull-Ups anymore!

The more things change the more they stay the same. We have all heard that saying, but what we sometimes don’t realize is that even though things stay the same, the ways we go about doing those same things change. For instance, 100 years ago when we needed to get to work most people would walk, ride a horse, take a train, or take a trolley to get there. Now we still need to get to work but most of us drive a car or take a subway. 50 to 100 years ago if we needed to get a message to someone we would send a telegram or a handwritten note. Now we still might send a handwritten note but more often than not we send them an e-mail!
