		<description><![CDATA[Well, my oldest daughter, at 3 years and 2 weeks is finally potty trained.  After 3 months of pull-ups, frustration, tears, Reese&#8217;s Pieces, stickers and messes we got there and it wasn&#8217;t at all what I expected.  Here&#8217;s our journey.  At 2 years of age, she was using the potty fairly consistently- for a month.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What mother of toddlers can write a blog and not include toilet training?  So, we are full force in potty training mode around here and it is an interesting journey that I can&#8217;t wait to be over.  It&#8217;s exhausting.  Diapers are easier.  Can they just wear diapers and change themselves?  K started going to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While reflecting on my relationship with my children, I came to the realization that though the word &#8220;mother&#8221; can conjure up so many different interactions, it almost feels strange to me to have the one word cover the relationship I have with each of my children.  While I am technically both of their mother, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[K has gone from her first why to &#8220;Why?&#8221; &#8220;But why? &#8220;But why?&#8221;  for every answer I give- just as a proper toddler should do.  Usually the questioning ends at the third or fourth &#8220;why&#8221; and generally has something to do with an answer similar to, &#8220;Because you&#8217;ll get hurt and will cry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Not a baby, not a baby&#8230;&#8221; is my mantra these days.  Having two children barely 16 months apart, certain things happen I think.  Namely, the older child, K, gets all the attention because she is much more demanding and clearly verbalizes what she wants and the second child, A, is perpetually The Baby, even when [...]]]></description>

I am sure that my reading habits have been somewhat affected by blogging, but not too significantly.  The time I spend on the computer these days [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Seattle Times&#8221; book reviews
