(check her out, she's awesome!!! http://kaishon.blogspot.com/)

this is scary territory to get into but what can you do when you're pressed for ideas, LOL??
now i'm no expert, given i only have one child under my belt....
but i have see so much of me in my son, and his father, and his grandmother, and his uncle....
so i have one philosophy with.......
let him be him!!!...
not who i want him to be, not who i'd like him to be......
but EXACTLY who he is!!!!there's no one in life more unhappy than the person following someone else's dream!....antoinette m. williams

p.s. we're also striving to conquer the world of
potty training so we'd love that too!

What a wonderful truth. I have a belief as and educator: If you put the needs of the child first, things usually work out. Follow their lead and change yourself to fit their style. :_)
Well, I don't know that I should dole out parenting advice, since I feel like I'm a new parent myself... but I think what you said is so true. You've got to let the child be true to themselves, and train them up accordingly. I never want to try and fit my girl into anyone else's box, she's truly unique and so is Asher! And as for potty-training. Well a good couple of days at home with lots of salty foods and drinks... and sticken' em' straight in underwear worked wonders for me! She was trained in a week! But of course, every child is different, just like we said, LOL
:)
That is wonderful advice! I love it. And I think you do a great job of following that!
