Parker says to Annie, "you're a genius." Annie replies, "I'm not a genius, I'm adorable." Parker says, "I'm a genius." Annie remarks, "I'm a genius, too."

Grandma and I about split our guts laughing.

Have you noticed the geniuses who advertise on my blog? All the ads I've seen relate to potty training or nursing or something baby-related. Do you think they're trying to send me a message? How do they know I (and even their Gran-Nanny) have given up altogether on potty training?? Are they TRYING to make me feel more guilty?

Guilt. That's something I've learned that comes with motherhood as prominent as stretch marks. It doesn't matter what decision you make, it is always accompanied by a modicum of guilt. I guess we moms just have to do the best we can, get over it, and help our kids find good therapists someday. :)
