Diaper-free in a jiffy

This scoreboard has been out for months. I had explained the sticker system: one crystal per dry diaper at night. 20 in a row will mean Jaide is ready to say bye-bye to diapers forever. It was a long battle to get her to be diaper-free during the day back then, but that experience taught me that even if she were perfectly capable of accomplishing a task, she must WANT to do it too. There is no point rushing her cos her high D personality means she's ready when she decides she's ready.

Imagine my surprise when she suddenly presented to me a dry diaper one morning less than a month ago and she's been a roll since then. Tonight will be the first night she'll go without her diaper for bedtime but I'm sure she'll do just fine. Still, I've shifted the mattress protector from her older sister's mattress to hers, just in case. *wink*

DIY V-Day Arrangement

Whenever I see beautiful V-Day arrangements displayed at shopping malls, I'd be tempted to buy one. However, they are exorbitantly priced. The one which I liked very much cost $112! After some deliberation, I decided to make one myself. All the raw materials came up to a mere $25. What's more, I could choose colours which match my living room where it will be placed.
