Yay for turds hitting porcelain! I’m just starting the process with our 2 yo. Eeek!

Yeah, I guess “new baby” is pushing it with this one, all but outweighing his effectively five-year-old brother as he does. He continues to insist, however, on being referred to as ‘baby’, and frankly the lack of porcelain-kissing, in my book, bears that out. It’s going to be touch and go whether he can go off to the kindergarten in January (original plan had been for him to do that in September — hence the enormous margin of error we allowed in starting potty-training on 1 May).

When I saw these various references to having a third child I got all pissed off all over again that the old template is lost, and with it the handy .WAV file of me blowing my brains out.

Good to see you back. I got a little overexcited when I saw the “New baby project” tag – “They’re going for number three!”, I thought.
Nappy problems here too, but only during the night.
Erik: that is feasible, in theory. Expensive, but feasible.

Shmoo didn’t really master potty training until his little sister was born. So I suggest you have another baby.

So glad to see you writing again! On a day when most of my interactions have felt Bulgarian, thank you (or should I thank Alek?) for the laugh!

You mean they can’t just wear diapers until they go off to college!?!?

Whose pants should he have shit?

We’re having an X steps forward, Y steps back kind of toilet training too, where the average of all values for Y is less than X, but not by much.
