compromise

we were going to a friend's house to play.  here's the conversation we had in the car:
me:  when we get to emma's house we can only stay for two hours.
jordan: awww!  can't we stay for ten minutes??
me:  two hours is longer.
jordan:  but ten is more than two!
me:  how 'bout we stay for 100 minutes?
jordan:  yay!!!!!


Lesson Of The Day:
~ don't try to explain time to kids who can't tell time

potty-training

how often can a two-year-old pee?  i've never seen so many accidents from one kid in such a short amount of time!  three in fifteen minutes!  and then she went on the toilet like she hadn't gone since breakfast!!  after successfully potty-training three kids i thought i had a handle on the subject.  but number four is definitely keeping me on my toes!  my secret ambition is to have her trained before my friend's kid, who is one year older... looks like i may have my hands full.

Lesson Of The Day:
~keep plenty of underwear and paper towels around for those looming accidents

the beginning

...so i've been told a number of times by a number of people to start a blog.  i'm never sure what i should write about, but being a mother of four there's bound to be something i can find, right?  any suggestions???
