Eh, my 1st was potty trained by age two. After talking about and having a potty chair, talking about big boy undies and watching me and his dad use the bathroom he was eager. I'm not kidding when I say he spent less than a month practicing at home and one day I said we're going to be gone all day with big boy undies on today, so make sure you tell mommy when you need to go. Not being a fool myself, we went to my moms house 😬. And that was it - he was trained. Oh and I was pregnant. I know the norm now is training around 3 years old, but if the kid shows signs they're ready, go for it. And if, like Katey, you're going to have 4 under 3, one out of diapers makes life a wee bit easier. 6 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116902-jed-and-katey-biblically-bunking-together/page/37/#findComment-8551373

EmeraldGirl January 10 Share January 10 My son and his wife gave both of their kids her maiden name as their middle name. She doesn’t go by her married name, and she wanted the kids to have a part of it. Potty training is too divisive of a subject to get into. Every kid is different and there should be no rules and comparisons. I learned that pretty fast with the first kid many years ago. A little girl neighbor was already trained, and he wasn’t even close to it. Well, he didn’t get married in diapers, so I’ll call that a success. 16 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116902-jed-and-katey-biblically-bunking-together/page/37/#findComment-8551401

Mountainair January 11 Share January 11 My husbands extremely large family has a tradition of giving everyone a middle name that starts with L. Eventually you run out of ideas so my middle child shares the same middle name as my husband. My oldest child goes by his middle name (which is something I swore I’d never do but I liked it better than the first name we picked for him). My youngest was easy because she was my only girl and I love Lucille Ball so she got Lucille as a middle name. My sister in law is obsessed with Star Trek so gave her daughter the middle name Lwaxana. lol! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/116902-jed-and-katey-biblically-bunking-together/page/37/#findComment-8551481

Too bad people under 30 have no knowledge of Elsie the Cow. Borden used to bring a large cow to town in the spring. She would be set up by the Hilton Hotel in a covered breezeway. She had her own gated and comfortable cow pasture. Kids loved going to see Elsie. She was as iconic as the Pillsbury doughboy and the Jolly Green Giant.

But I've been on this earth a long time and the only time that I have ever heard the name Elsie is when it is associated with the cow and old ladies. Look up Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey.

EmeraldGirl January 14 Share January 14 Thank you,Sixlets! We just lost our 16-year-old girl. I wanted another right away, but Mr. said he wasn’t sure if he wanted any more dogs. Well wouldn’t you know, she is absolutely glued to him! Follows him constantly, freaks out when he leaves, sits on his lap and practically sleeps there at night. I guess that’s his karma for daring to hint at not wanting to have another dog. Ha. And I’m the one who found her, did all the research on her and her breed, and we end up with her having practically hearts for eyes when she looks at daddy. So on topic, is Fenna the only pet any of them have? It’s interesting with having so many children that they don’t want them to grow up with pets. We grew up with dogs. My kids had dogs.
