I remember going to home depot and seeing how relatively inexpensive they were and thinking why the heck have I lived with these horrible looking ones for years! Ahh motherhood. Lovely and fulfilling but also sometimes torture. I really struggled when Jason was in school and training and we were surrounded by all these woman doing all these amazing things and I was at home. It helps now that we are out of training and finally a lot of them are getting to the point where they want to have kids and suddenly a lot of them are jealous of me and wish they could spend a little more time at home. Life is all about trade offs I guess. Sucks right. I still look at Bridget a lot and think, man I wish I could be half as accomplished, but I'm also finding contentment in where I am. And Bridget is right...you are amazing at what you do...OK maybe not on the cooking front, but you have Andrew for that, and chicken pot stickers from Costco :)Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093625438383031052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-60904744931813327712016-03-06T19:17:12.090-05:002016-03-06T19:17:12.090-05:00Maybe I will try that way again.

We had him start standing to pee because when he sat he would pee straight through between the seat and the lid *every single time.* It was a bit ridiculous. But now standing is so entertaining because he can do such fancy things... :)Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631734965938273438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-31273731996701367522016-03-06T19:12:14.518-05:002016-03-06T19:12:14.518-05:00New toilet seats are something we were recently ex...New toilet seats are something we were recently excited about as well, so you're not alone there. Don't know how you approach the toilet-usage, but in our house we trained the boys sitting down. This has (based on stories of others) drastically reduced incidences of pee-in-random-places. We get the occasional oops on the seat and an even rarer oops didn't quite make it to the toilet in time, but otherwise are free of pee odor. The rule is they can pee standing up all they want at school or wherever else (once they discover such a thing is an option), but they must sit when at home. When we can trust them to do a thorough cleaning job they'll be allowed to do otherwise.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10636146366627166656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624978.post-17094144399565430652016-03-06T15:22:51.717-05:002016-03-06T15:22:51.717-05:00Andrew scrubs toilets.
