How did you meet your significant other?Answer all the questions HONESTLY and re post as "How I met _____"

What a Crappy Day!

No literally! We have decided it was time to start potty training Miriam. One of the greatest parts of being a parent. Miriam is doing pretty well I think. This whole process went a lot different with my other kids. Miriam loves to pee in the potty, but she has yet to poop in the potty and today I had to clean up two poopy accidents. What a crappy day!! At least this is my last kid.


I love the things parents talk about. It always cracks me up!
