My thanks to all of you have been praying for my nephew. We are so blessed to have so many thoughtful people in the world and I can never say thank you enough. So far we have not heard from Chism, but he is in the mountains of Afganistan. He is on the "front" right behind the special forces teams and will be, in his words, flushing out the terrorists when the special forces find them. So continued prayer is more than appreciated. Now for some fun stuff! :)
I am trying to potty train my 15 mo old. Not going well. He loves to sit on the "pee potty" but.... when he has to go he goes in the toy room behind the door and does his littl "thing". So we are sitting on the potty every 2 hours weather we need to or not. After he is done pooping his pants he sits on the potty and I tell him this is where you need to go. I hope this one goes faster than the last one. My oldest REFUSED to poop on the potty, but never wet his pants - go figure. On his third birthday he decided that he would go on the potty. He has NEVER had an accident since - talk about stubborn. :) Anyone else think boys are harder to potty train. Or.. am I alone on this one?

I have three girls and they potty trained themselves... when they were ready. I read books to them, showed them the "Once Upon a Potty" video, sang to them, had sticker charts and tried all of the other secrets advised by the experts, friends with no children and my parents. Nothing worked. Heck, my oldest would even change her own diaper for a while. I had nightmares of having the only Kindergartener wearing Pampers. Eventually they all gave up diapers, but I have no idea why. Sometimes all a Mom can do is pour a glass of wine or a cup of tea and let the kids do their thing. Cheers... or should I say "Bottoms up!"
I hope your nephew continues to remain safe.
The felted slippers are extremely easy to make. I made some for my father for Christmas (I think there's a picture in my Dec. or Nov. archives). Basically, you just knit a really big slipper and then wash it several times with hot, soapy water until it shrinks. FiberTrends has a pattern for them.
Hope you have a great weekend.

I don't have a girl to compare to, but I've heard that. I had a terrible time with my first son because I pushed him before he was ready. With Julian, my second son, I had become wise (atleast at potty training), and I didn't push him one little bit. I made a potty available, told him how it was used and rewarded him when it was used, but I never pushed and never punished. Eventually he just decided he wanted to use the potty and big boy underwear all the time.
Good luck with that! LOL.
me, me, me! I'm just about to start buying diapers by the truckload and just totally give up on potty training.
