I've also heard that cheerios in the toilet are supposed to help them by giving them something to aim at. Think I might try that. ...or make my husband try it with him when the time comes.

Thank you. I will def. link to this on my blog. Oh, and BTW if you stop by Atomic Mom within the next week or so, I've had a breach of security and had to password protect. (username : reader password : atomic) Not that you're going to stop by, but just in case you do. Love love love this post.

They say this to get you out the door faster. Boys jeans come in slim, regular and husky. Jeans go well with anything. Later, though he may be swayed by other's who are more fashion forward and ask for certain logos or brands on their t-shirts, shoes or shorts. You'll become and expert on tuxedo fittings. Still, I remember going to the home of a friend who had 3 girls, the day after Christmas. The youngest proudly showed me her My Little Pony, and I remember thinking how odd it was that she would find it so appealing. My world was filled with Hot Wheels, swords, fire helmets. It opened up a whole new world for me. Now my horizons have opened up completely. Thank you Swee'Pea and The Bug/Crazy Girl Sons will always tell you, you look great, no matter what your wearing.

I would also add try not to laugh when a stream of wee hits your darling child on the face.
