dyk I LOVE being able to not run the AC and not needing the heater either



dyk we like it cool in the house -even in the winter - and with a real house that is insulated, we may not have to run the heater very much either!!!



dyk that would be great!



dyk we have a feaux gas fireplace in the living room for when we're watching TV at night

dyk Emma is 2 right?



dyk Dek was 3 and then my niece was 3 as well when I potty trained them



dyk Dek.... I had to go against EVERY book, every theory, every plan and basically threaten his life to get him to potty train!!! lol Prob not the way you want to go with Emma.



dyk with my niece, we just said GO POTTY and put her on the potty every hour or so for a couiple days and that was that



dyk mUCH easier. lol

dyk I should have been more specific with the cup - my sister gives her chocolate milk in her sippy cup IN BED



dyk that's what we're getting rid of.



dyk no sippy cup in bed, no chocolate milk AT ALL



dyk she gets 1 cup of 2% milk (literally a cup, not a sippy cup or glass) a day when she's with me - and gee we don't ahve any poop problems



dyk now when my sister complains I Just say, "I don't have that problem when she stays with me."



dyk and my sister shuts up b/c she knows exactly what that means.



dyk she is a working mom with working mom guilt and so if Jadyn wants chocolate milk, she gives it to her.



dyk Jen-Jen says no.



dyk and Jadyn still loves me.

dyk tomorrow is Sean's 90th day



dyk we are worried about the review raise - not the review - Sean is an excellent employee



dyk never late, does his work, friendly, they apparently adore him



dyk but we need that translated into at least $3 more an hour

dyk I don't remember Anthony's potty training, but I do know that he was between 3 & 3 1/2



dyk Nick was ready at about the same age and we had to force the issue



dyk and what that meant was that when Ms Shirley (the teacher whose room he was in a child care) rad out of diapers, I wasn't buying any more



dyk he'd been dry at night for ages, took a week or so to stay dry at nap at child care and that was that



dyk as for Marisa, even though she's only 9, I have no memory at all of her potty training



dyk there must not have been anything horribly difficult about it or I'm pretty sure I would
