Worth A Look
Both Mommy and Daddy actively participating in Ashley's potty training process. Ashley realistic transitions from diapers to "special big-girl underpants" over time, not instantly. Author Joanna Cole uses questions to draw the child into the story ("Do you wear diapers, too?") as an encouraging... -
A Nice Addition To Your Potty Book Collection
This is one of many books I bought about potty training. I have to say I like this book. Ashley is just adorable. Both parents are involved in the training process (I'm the one who did the training in our family but I like the fact that it says to kids that dads can do it too). I also like...

Damn it I love my sister more than words can describe, just got her to use the big girl potty while on the phone with her.
All this potty training n my baby is doing great. She has her first skid marks I'm so proud!! Marks her transition into big girl world lmao
I have twin nieces, just four years, two daughters. They (their mother) moved in with me, my youngest sister, my brother, my father and our family dog two months ago.
I would not punish him for accidents day or night. Positive reinforcement should be applied to get them to use the potty. At night, bedwetting is very normal at this age and I would go back with a diaper at night until they have passed that stage.
Suntrust Richmond marathon recap part one
This past weekend, I ran the Suntrust Richmond Marathon . It was my third full, but my first in Richmond. I have to say it was my best running experience yet. But as anyone who has ever run before knows, the time on the road is only part of the story, so this is part one of a three-part travelogue about my adventures. Enjoy.
The day before the big run was my 41st birthday. My wife wisely said, “You celebrate your birthday so differently than I do.” I celebrated by loading my wife and three girls up into the car, making the three hour commute to Richmond and crashing in a so-so hotel. Once we got into town, I realized there were several obstacles in the way. The first of which was how I was going to get to the starting line early on Saturday morning.
The challenge was the location of our hotel. We weren’t able to get a place to stay near the start/finish line. Though we were only seven miles away, it felt like a hundred. You see, navigating any city streets the day of a marathon is risky business. Most roads were closed around downtown and tons more were closed across the city. So unless I found a ride, my wife and kids would have to get up around 6:00am or 6:30am and try to get me downtown. I was hoping they could meet me at the halfway point and the finish line, so I wasn’t going to ask them to do that. I needed a ride.
Living by Grace: Ava used the potty!
So I just wanted to give a little shout out to my little girl for using the big girl potty for the first time!! I am so proud of her!! We have been talking about it and sitting on it for months now and this was the first time we actually accomplished something!! I think she is a little overwhelmed because Daddy and Mommy went a little nuts, but she knows it's a good thing! We are going to definitely continue working on it!
