hey, everyone. i wanted to type up something more interesting and relevant in an attempt to resurrect this series, but i'm stuck in meetings and typing this from my phone.
the main point here is to solicit volunteers for future months posts. topics can be on whatever you feel like (see previous entries for ideas). let me know in the comments, and we'll see up a schedule.
besides that, how is/are your little bugger(s) doing? Pete's goal lately is to climb to the top of the world.

oh, and since we have a mother or two around here, please note the series title is so absurd that it couldn't possibly be believed to be serious.
To be sure. Because mother doesn't know best either, yo.
I hope you're not now limiting this to only little bugger(s). My not so little bugger is fine, although a bit bitter at snow cancelling her plans to spend a couple nights with friends at Mizzou.
i meant little as in "lil'". all sized buggers are welcome.
I had one due in January. I can take March instead.
erm, i think that was january 2012... anyway, march, you're up! (i'll put a schedule up top)
I didn't specify which January I had! But I promise to start this revival off right.
New at my house: the resident toddler’s decision to pee standing up. Totally caught me off guard a couple nights ago and since he wasn’t doing any aiming, that role was up to me. Let’s just say that my understanding of fluid dynamics is not very advanced.
But there’s something I don’t and can’t understand, so maybe one (or more) of you can enlighten me. Is it really that exciting to pee while standing up?
It's very manly, of course. Also, what's not cool about spraying all over the place as though you had your own, private firehose?
Also also, he's possibly observed Dad doing it this way? good luck getting Dad to model sitting down for that bidness.
Wait until he starts drinking and pees lying down!
Sitting down requires taking pants mostly off. And with our one boy, at the same times that he would have forgotten to aim if standing up, he would have forgotten to tuck if sitting down.
Rule: clean up your own messes. (Yes Mom & Dad have to do follow-up cleanings, but it's about learning responsibility for one's own peeing on the floor.)
Also, not entirely a boy issue. CER found a way to go on the floor despite sitting on the toilet. Maybe she was leaning back or something.
Let’s just say that my understanding of fluid dynamics is not very advanced.
tougher than it looks, eh?
Thank you--you're all a fount of knowledge on this front! I think I just need to accept the inevitable. And request that the resident husband offer some aiming lessons. (For the toddler--not for me. I'll just settle for having newfound respect for the skill required to aim properly!)
Naturally, E2 has plenty of advice on the subject.
Hilarious!
I am willing. I don't care about the timing.
sold.
I'll take the May date. We'll see if I can hit upon something more compelling than potty talk. Would you be so kind as to send a reminder at some point beforehand?
Hey we are going to be empty nesters this Fall. Maybe I could throw something in there at that time, you know some perspective at the end of the that particular segment of the journey.
We were empty nesters for a couple years (emphasize "were"), so I'd like to point out that you don't KNOW that you're at the end of that particular segment of the journey.
you're set up for september.
once again, still looking for authors, so i'm happy to sign anyone up.
