There are a few loonies lurking.
Funny you should say that FR - when I saw the picture I smiled and figured that's why you chose that one....

And speaking of loonies....

To which one doth you refer? We have an assortment of fine loonies to choose from.

Biting my tongue not posting in a certain thread.....

Dew - I'd be out there cleaning up too. Just make sure to cover your nose and mouth so you don't get a bunch of dust in your lungs. Or should I say extra dust because I'm sure you've already ingested plenty. I'm sure you'll be finding dust in unexpected places for some times to come.

Thanks coop and mm for the potty training support! I am a big believer in waiting until the little one is ready - I didn't count on how frustrating it would be to wait!

One step at a time, I suppose....

Oy vey, Dew - that dust storm looked insane from what I saw on the news! Good luck with de-mucking....

Wow, you know I never even thought of that. Good advice!! Yes, I do keep everything backed up. And I close up shop when I'm done with the computer for the day but that is a most excellent reminder.

Bless your heart. (A Dewish bless your heart not a CD Moms Who Rock bless your heart .)

I waited to until MissFR was ready. It was actually a breeze after that. I've posted here before that she had issues with public bathrooms, because of those dreadful loud automatic flushing toilets. Scared the bejezus out of the poor kid when she was really little.

But she got over that too, eventually - but about a year after she was potty trained at home. They seem to come around - eventually!

My brother was just going through that with their daughter. And frankly, those things scare the bejezus out of me too. You just get the toilet all lined with something, start to sit down and it flushes and the liner gets sucked right down and you have to start all over again. I hate that.
