In my last post I alluded to some good news and then disappeared for a week. I know you’ve all been on edge and just dying to know, haven’t you? *crickets* Ok, well, even if you’re not, here you go: My kid is potty-trained! Yay!!!!!

Break the binkie habit 2. Crib to a “big girl” bed 3. Potty training (please, for the love…) All of these strike fear to my heart.
