Carter accidentally dropped one of her toys in while she was going potty, and you would of thought someone lit it on fire. She was so upset!!! I'm sure Micah will be on Jackson's side. :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994573173009992247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-3242736731937827172009-03-26T10:45:00.000-04:002009-03-26T10:45:00.000-04:00You make parenting do-able!

My son decided to put a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet, and you bet I made him fish out every bit of it! :) The hubby was shocked at first, but he graciously held open the bag while my son cleared the toilet of all paper goods. <BR/>He hasn't touched the toilet paper since. Lesson learned!<BR/><BR/>It's amazing how much hair you lose! My little girls is 15 weeks and I'm shedding like crazy still. At this rate I might be bald by May. <BR/><BR/>Keep the work outs coming, you'll get back in shape before you know it!<BR/><BR/>JanetteRitzFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525971229477776022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-8085347901676089922009-03-24T23:13:00.000-04:002009-03-24T23:13:00.000-04:00Hilarious about the toy falling in the toilet!

I felt totally blessed by your post on being real. I, too, have been struggling with disciplining my almost 3-year-old daughter. I have felt very alone in it lately, but I just talked to a friend about it today and she shared similar problems. I want to be transparent and open for other people. Thanks for a little inspiration. <BR/><BR/>BTW-(I also have a 5 1/2 year old daughter and a newborn. In fact, my son was born the same day as your daughter, just a few hours later. I just love reading how your little one is changing.)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08436057942657491100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-21378825976566388142009-03-24T16:45:00.000-04:002009-03-24T16:45:00.000-04:00oh--and jackson fishing the toy out of the poo was...oh--and jackson fishing the toy out of the poo was absolute brilliance! i wish i would have thought of that when my 3-year-old dropped her pink bow in the potty last week! my husband slapped on the ol' rubber glove and got it out himself. :0)Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747019135510870560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-91741196536422555582009-03-24T16:44:00.000-04:002009-03-24T16:44:00.000-04:00i'm with ya on the smells, sort of. i never had m...i'm with ya on the smells, sort of. i never had morning sickness with any of my three babies, but i was very sensitive to scents in general. i've never been able to use BBW stuff because i'm allergic, but i can't stand Dial hand soap anymore since having babies! and "lovely" perfume by sjp is forever out now, too. :0)<BR/><BR/>i did have some fun side effects, though! i never liked pecan pie before i had kids, but since they've arrived i LOVE it! :0) funny how our preferences change...Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747019135510870560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-90770025763691536282009-03-24T15:48:00.000-04:002009-03-24T15:48:00.000-04:00I can't wait to stock up on B&BW soap in A...I can't wait to stock up on B&BW soap in April!!! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link to the mary jane socks, they are so cute.

She had to get her eye's check. She just had a growth spurt and she said she couldn't see the board at school. Sure enough...need new glasses. Got those picked out...after a great debate. Finding a pair that satified...that's a whole comment on its own. Needless to say, I used one of my mother's parenting lines...you know one of those that each of us say we will never say to our kid...but it just comes out! Yeap...<BR/><BR/>Got to go!
