Have been waiting forever to say that. You have no idea. After cloth diapering for over 3 years (2 of those years for 2 kids) you start getting just a little sick of dealing with spraying poo off diapers, and start wishing for the day where you don't have to do it anymore!!
DS finally turned a corner a few weeks ago...so far DS has been pooping and peeing in the potty, no accidents for the past week or two. None at school, none at home, not even when we went to the aquarium last weekend which is a 45 minute drive away. He pees in public restrooms no problem..he even pooped in one last week!! Going out is not a hassle at all..he holds it pretty well and goes when we ask him to. No more pooping in his underwear..he goes into his room, closes the door and sits on his potty, does his business then tells us to come wipe him. I don't know what it was that convinced him but i'm glad the days of cleaning poopy underwear are over!
He doesn't even need diapers for nighttime but we put one on anyway just in case...don't want to deal with possibility of having to change sheets at night. Diapers are cheaper than pullups so we are sticking with that...I just sold an unopened pack of Pullups on my FB swap site this weekend!
Anyway, just had to share. Hopefully some encouragement for others in the throes of PTing. DS will be 3.5 in July so definitely a later potty trainer. Am just so glad to be done with this stage!

That's so exciting! I bet your DD will follow soon after too.
DS2 is only 15 months, but I'm already looking forward to the day when we will be done with diapers....

Hooray!
This is awesome!
I've got a day-trained kid, but I'm not concerned about night just yet. (I'd like her to sleep in her own bed before I put her in underpants, but that's another post...)==========================================
