A Few Good Quotes

"There is something so settled and stodgy about turning a great romance into next of kin on an emergency room form, and something so soothing and special, too." ~ Anna Quindlen

"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.'" ~Mary Anne Radmacher

So It Begins

We are on day four of potting training Ruthie. It's hard to tell if we're making progress. We have learned one thing - this girl can hold her pee! She can go four hours (three of which she spends sitting on her potty) without a single drop. 

Anyway, in spite of the slow going-ness, and in spite of the pile of tiny underwear that mounts up each day, we will persevere.


At least we're making it a family activity; that way we don't feel like we're missing out on any of our summer-time fun (yeah, right). I am already dreading the process with Jonah. But maybe I'll look back someday and think, "Well, that wasn't that bad!" 

I doubt it, but one can always dream.


Hope your summer is a little more thrilling than ours. (Though if you saw into our house when pee actually does end up in the potty, you would think we were having the time of our lives.)
