Whe...That is a beautiful quote and print, Colleen. Whether or not I win it here, I think I'll have to get it. It's a good reminder to me. Recently, I've been a little upset with the rest of the family for not cleaning up his/her own things. I hear a lot of, "But, I didn't make the mess!" And, my reply is "Neither did I." (Usually, it's the 2.5 year old making the mess.) This morning in my Lenten email I was given the task to pick up after someone without saying anything about it. I think God is trying to tell me something!Jacelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396679252513469962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-28761398098668452932017-03-06T10:45:46.031-05:002017-03-06T10:45:46.031-05:00Oh goodness!!

If I don't win, I think I may just buy that print. I have the perfect spot right next to my kitchen sink. It would be a perfect reminder of why I spend so many hours in the kitchen (and help me to keep a positive attitude about it!)<br /><br />And - potty training - totally use an older sibling! That is how my #6 and #7 were trained. I have totally evolved in my thinking on toilet training. I used to really press the issue and train them when I thought they were ready (or my MIL told me they were ready). Now, I wait until the child tells me that they are ready....and it's usually around age 3. But, it's a one day deal when they want to do it themselves! There may be an accident or two (and diapers at bed time until they continually wake up dry), but overall it's an excellent system. Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078522964286003583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-42409156379792674002017-03-04T15:49:04.523-05:002017-03-04T15:49:04.523-05:00Enjoyed your quick takes!

She had a CT scan and then a MRI when she was about 2 years old. She just had enlarged ventricles (spaces). Big heads do run in the family as well though. She's almost 13 now and hasn't ever had any issues from it.<br /><br />Also, my 2.5 year old isn't potty trained yet either (he turns 3 in September). I'm waiting until summer to really start, but my other children sometimes work with him to potty train...love those older siblings 😊Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430175988540532506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5937303870758455964.post-4108287781715551582017-03-03T22:13:01.909-05:002017-03-03T22:13:01.909-05:00I love love love that print!

I also have big headed babies -the last one always had an asterisk next to his head circumference as they could not believe it measured that large (100 -percentile for the win!). <br />And I am thinking about training my almost 3 yr old boy. I intend to enlist his older borthers. My mom swore by that technique. She trained her third boy on a vacation by having him follow his brothers into the rest room every time they stopped.
