Hello Everyone.
We are back! After taking some extra time off this summer the newsletter is back, bigger and better then ever. Check out the Quotables Quiz in each issue (see below) and you could win a great book from the folks at HarperCollins.com. And of course, I'll be including more stories about my adventures as a father to three -- count 'em, three -- kids under the age of 5.
To get you caught up, my daughter Neva will soon turn 5, while my son Milo just turned 2. The newest edition, my second daughter, Willa, is already 6 1/2-months old!
It wasn't too long ago that my son Milo began taking an interest in using the potty. At first it was a family affair of sorts. Mommy would join Milo in our tiny bathroom, Willa in her arms, with Neva squeezing in shouting wild encouragement. I would take up a position at the door and excitedly join in on the melee.
Things have changed. Milo doesn't always announce his need to go any more. So it was no surprise when Kathleen found him alone in the bathroom this afternoon. However, she wasn't sure whether to congratulate him on going pee on the potty all by himself or to scold him for finding a straw in the garbage with which he was about to have a nice cool drink of water from, where else, but the toilet.
