Latest post up at TheBump.com!

Yep. Not specifically with the potty, but I find myself often having to stop and edit so as to NOT introduce an idea that makes James go, "What? I wasn't even THINKING that! Thanks a lot, Mom."

When I was three years old, I TOTALLY fell in the toilet. My mom had stepped away, and was talking to a friend of hers who was going through a rough divorce. When she finally found me, all folded up with my bottom shoved into the toilet, she took the time to run and get the camera before helping me out. Thus, she waved all rights at her maternal guilt-tripping. I must say, though, it didn't scar me too badly. I can't way that I have a particular fear of toilets at this point in my life.
