For what it's worth, Nicky is going on 4 and they have a 4 month old at home as well (and my nice who is 5)this is exactly why i said i don't judge.who am i to judge someone else based on one example i've been given/seen/heard/etc? where do i have the right to say it's wrong when i make mistakes too? mistakes are crucial for a learning opportunity. i make my share. i can have an opinion, but that does not give me the right to assume that it's fair criteria to hold someone else to. bottom line...you never know someone else's situation. it's incredibly easy to sit back and assume and judge and then criticize. but that's just too easy..and it's probably wrong.
i personally can't imagine having a two-year-old that responds to nothing. i can't imagine!! i also can't imagine having a child who refuses to potty train, and for two years! therefore, i do not know how i would respond after constant tests, and therefore i can't assume that i know the best way to respond to such tribulations. even if i did think of a "better" way, it doesn't mean it'd be the best for someone else.

But yet, in the back of your mind, you still fear the day he winds up acting more and more like you, aren't you?
i've heard that boys are much harder to train. which is probalby why i'll wait till four.

I can't imagine having a 4 year old who can speak and reason and still insists on pooping in the dining room.
It sure will put a different spin on family dinners in the futurei've heard that boys are much harder to train. which is probalby why i'll wait till four.
I want to get Ky trained, but he has the most sensitive digestive system and doesn't have a very consistent poop schedule yet. I'm going to try and see what happens after the beginning of the year, but if I end up cleaning up lots of poopy underwear, I'll put it off longer. I'm mostly just tired of changing two kids in diapers all day.
E was exactly the same way. And he smiled and giggled ALL the time, and still does. I'm pretty sure he's going to be a comedian. I can't count the number of times he's laughed until he peed himself. Hopefully he won't do that on stage.
Not at all, because I'm so awesome. I have a great combination of empathy, sarcasm, humor, and intelligence. I get along with everyone I meet. If he ends up like me he'll be lucky. *finger guns*
that's hilarious! my kids are very stingy with their belly laughs. though spangelet loves to get others to laugh. her feelings get hurt if she tries to make her friends laugh and fails miserably. spangelet has been the easiest child in the world. babybird's not QUITE as easy, but still pretty laid back and easygoing. i've been EXTREMELY fortunate with two (fairly) easy children. which seriously makes me very nervous about the teenage years.
finger guns. that made the whole thing. you forgot the click of the tongue and the wink, though.I hope you accidentally get knocked up, choose to have the baby, and that the baby turns out like Ethan. You'll be like "Holy shit, kids are awesome." And oh how Zac will cry.
I know E is about to pee himself when his laughter goes silent. If he's still through all of the motions with his eyes shut tight, his mouth open and smiling and his belly heaving but the volume suddenly gets muted I know it's time to reach for a new pair of underwear.
