Officially entering a new chapter of motherho.od...

NO DIAPERS.

It was a long hard road, but I think we have made it. Amelia has gone four days without an accident. Pooping in the toilet instead of her panties seems to have 'clicked.' Wooo hooo!!!! She is very proud of herself and is a BIG girl.

The last month or two alone is enough to make me thankful that I am done having kids. We are ready to move forward with growing up.

It is all somewhat bittersweet.

Five years seems like a long time, but it also seems like yesterday

The day he was born to the day of his 5th birthday. My baby is five years old. Just in the past couple of weeks he has seemed so much more grown up and even more like a "kid" than a toddler or even a preschooler. How did this happen??

Here are a few pictures of my baby:
