Diaper-Free

I can’t remember if I’ve posted this yet, but as of a few months ago Meredith is mostly potty trained. At home, she’s pretty much 100%. We’ve even been leaving her diaperless most nights. While out and about, it seems to depend on a lot of factors about whether she will have accidents or [...]

Baby Bottoms
