I'm sorry Kimberly-Clark, but the days of us single handedly keeping you in the black are OVER!
Funny isn't it how things can change so fast. A week ago I was lamenting, and then 3 days ago the switch flipped.
What, you might ask, made all the difference? SPIDER-MAN.
If you know me at all you know I'm NOT a fan of marketing super-heros to kids who aren't old enough to watch the movies. I actually despise it. I do all in my power to not buy things that are related--my mini boycott if you will. But, YES, I broke my resolve. You see a certain 3 year old while never seeing the movie is a HUGE fan. (Thanks to a buddy of his.) He knows the web slinging poses and everything. Friday, Mike suggested we buy him some Spider-Man underwear. I told Ethan if he could stay dry for a day, he could wear them, by Sunday afternoon it was all over. The switch flipped. I'm not naive enough to think we are completely out of the woods yet, but out of 5 kids I've never seen someone so invested in the cause.
So grudgingly, I offer my sincere thanks to the Super-Hero in red and blue.
Spider-Man you are MY hero today.

Hooray! It was a big package of construction vehicles at Target that did the trick for my 3-year old. Funny how quickly they catch on with the right motivation.
Way to go, Spidy (and Ethan). Kat, you've dealt with sooo much poop over the years that I can only say how happy I am that the DiaperFest is OVER!
Whatever the motivation was, glad to hear the "switch was flipped". Here's to many years of a diaper-free home!!
I love the 'I've never seen someone so invested in the cause' comment!
Don't ya just love it when you have to allow something you've been "mini boycotting"!?!
Wahoo for you!
