My daughter (3) has been fully potty trained for a month now (OH, the JOY and RELIEF!!!!!). I am not throwing away any of the diapers for a long time. Not for regular accidents, but because every year she gets hit with the flu twice in the winter. I did not spend a nice chunk of money on Disney Princess bedding sets so to have them ruined. She doesn't have accidents during the night, but in the case of the flu or something, she most assuredly will. Plus, those things are so expensive...why throw them out just to buy more when diarrhea strikes. I'm pretty sure they have a long shelf life. I also continue to by baby wipes to use for "Number 2" (wiping for that one isn't perfected yet) and just as a moist towelette for her face and hands. I wholeheartedly agree with $6 (the diapers).

I will try to update... I'm guessing you'll all get very crazy, wild and short posts... with pictures!!! And if not, there will be a ton on the way when I get home. WtC! Wow! Thank you. You're not the first. I swear, I get more e-mails from men who have fallen for single moms than anything else. Feel free to drop me a line anytime. And good luck! I'm SO happy for both of you. And to the rest of you... XOXO, and yes, rotten potatoes and stinky diapers are definitely two things to be avoided. Kit Kat!

I'm 26 yrs old and coming out of a 5 year marriage to a wonderful young lady with no kids. (Good news is we're staying friends!) I find myself falling for another equally wonderful young lady with a 4 yr old son, and I know she likes me as well. Your advice for guys like me does in fact seem to be among (if not the) best on the web. Thank you!!! I will continue to follow your blog and will probably post comments and requests for advice as warranted. Good luck on your trip to visit The Dane - Europe is a wonderful and romantic place! ~ WtC Hello Ms Single Mama,

Sounds like a cool project. I read that post last week. Whew. I can't wait to see what you did with it. I can't wait to hear about Denmark... maybe you'll come back in love like Modern Single Mama did. :) (Thanks for the well wishes on my soldier's eventual spring return. And when's your birthday? He will be turning 40 in February. I sure hope he's home for that.) I still have extra diapers in the car and both of mine are potty trained!
