By the time your girls are teens they will either be dead from embarrassment or being followed by the paparatzi because of their famous mother who published their life story in blazing details from birth to present. Keep up the hilarity! GMH What fun!

By the way, fossilized dinosaur poop is no joke. We checked out a book on it at the library and I wrote about it on my blog. It is very informative.

ACK! And by the way, have you ever had your kid in a public bathroom and s/he announces, at the top of her lungs, “Hey, Mama, good job making that poo-poo.” ACK!

Does anyone remember the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who was given the punishment to push a huge rock up a mountain, only to see it fall down again, day after day? That's what it felt like training Miss D. I am about to embark on training my second daughter, but I have to purchase new potties. One day, Miss D. went into a rage, screamed, "Me hate the potty! No use the potty no way!" and kicked both of our little cute port-a-potties hard enough to hit the wall and disentigrate. I'm not looking forward to my summer.

I must admit that I break this rule frequently. How could I not, when there are things like the article in today's Denver Post about 14,000 year old fossilized poop? I kept checking the date, sure it was a leftover paper from April 1. Nope! http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_8805058 We have kind of a funny rule about that in my house — you’re only allowed to talk about bathroom things IN the bathroom.

He uses it in just about every single sentence he speaks and it drives me nuts. I try and remind him that it's not proper, but eh.....it comes with the age / territory doesn't it! http://andallthejonesmen.blogspot.com My 5 year old is constantly talking the potty talk.

Such is to my lot soon, especially as I'm having a boy.

At this point, you realize that uncouthness is the rule and not the exception.
