Baby Titus took his first independent step today! I stood him up against the wall, moved away and held my arms out and told him to come here, and he leaned forward off the wall, stood there for a min, then took a step, then fell down on his attempted 2nd step.

Unfortunitely, the gention violet did not work and Kezzy and I both still have thrush. So, for now I have switched to pumping and bottle feeding. I am hoping that when...

Potty Training 101

I am currently potty training my 3rd child before the age of 2 and keep coming across people asking me how I do it...or commenting that my kids are amazing.  So I thought I would dedicate a post to my methods on how to potty train a toddler. I will start with my philosophy.  I do not believe in "waiting until they are ready" like you hear from the Dr's office and on all the suggestion fliers you get from diaper companies in the mail.  I believe in teaching them how to succeed.  30 years ago (and still today in other countries), it was totally normal for kids to be potty trained at 18 months to 2 years old.  Why are people waiting until 3 or 4 now?  I believe it is because they are waiting for the kid to be ready.  By waiting, you are then dealing with an opinionated preschool rather then an eager to please toddler which I believe CAN make the process more difficult.  There are plenty of success stories of kids being trained in a few days at olde...
