Thank you, TrixieTracker

At three years and .5 months, we've decided to suspend our subscription to TrixieTracker.com. However, for the past six subscription cycles, it's been well worth it. We have tracked:

• 5336 Diapers
• 3208 sleep periods (most not naps)
• 1875 bottles
• 1113 meals
• 2016 solid foods (overlaps with the meals)
• 1002 Medicine dosages (whoa! Of course, he was on lots of different things for reflux when he was tiny.)
• and much, much more.

The big thing that TrixieTracker does is make you sane. When your child gets you up at 2:00 a.m. and you don't remember what he did in his last diaper, or what his temperature was, or what he ate last... boom, it's there. Now that Adam is pretty verbal, sleeping all night, and approaching potty training (although still not there yet,) it's a lot easier to keep track of what's going on. But for the last three years, TrixieTracker has been indispensable. Highly recommended.

Diapers

Lifetime Total: 5000

Adam has officially reached the 5000 diaper mark on Trixie Tracker. Some diapers have gone unrecorded (like this week when we were out of town), but I'd say that number is less than 100. While Patrick and I have changed the vast majority of those, I'd like to publicly thank the people who have changed Adam's diaper. This list includes but is not limited to grandparents, babysitters, Sunday School teachers, preschool teachers, aunts, and friends.

I just opened a case of 168 diapers. I hope by this time next year I will have purchased our last package of diapers. That is, until Patrick and I need them.

In all the craziness of the past few weeks, I just noticed that we passed another one of those not-found-in-the-baby-book milestones: Adam has had over two thousand diaper changes. We average about five a day now, and so thankfully, that number won't increase as quickly as it did in the beginning. We also have a new leak record. Of course, that doesn't include leaks from the top end, which occur several times a day, but we have to rejoice in the small victories. I still love all the wonderful data he generates.
