It's to the point that we had to shut down comments to stop the deluge. We're on vacation and it's really not something we wanted to deal with anymore.

This summer, I'm proud to announce that Sophia has made the leap into big girl undies, and things are going GREAT! The final months leading up to Cassidy's birth were filled with emotion for Sophia. She talked baby talk and threw tantrums. She wanted to wear diapers like a baby and didn't want anything to do with the potty.
