Here is a commercial I had not seen until a friend sent it to me in an email forward. As I was sitting here chuckling over it, my two oldest daughters became curious and came over for a look. They loved what they saw, and I had to play it 3 more times! I don’t

You seasoned parents out there know what I’m talking about – teething! Sure enough, the other day when we were playing and he was upside-down, I
Yesterday saw the official beginning of potty-training for our 2-year-old. She has used the potty a few times before, but now it’s official – we went out and bought the toddler sized potty. She was excited about using it and has done so twice yesterday and once today! I just worry about the time it
