Special Grandparents

My Dot Moms column is up today. I’ve dedicated this one to grandparents everywhere. I think you’ll see what I mean.

Today, the heavens opened, the angels sang, and there was great rejoicing throughout the land. Yes, my daughter used the toilet.

No one ever told me that there would come a time when the bodily functions of my children would become more important than world peace or curing cancer. You fall into this trap of thinking that–oooh! This might be the start to a diaper-free existence! And of course, it’s all a big tease. They decide to train themselves when it’s time. You can’t force it. In fact, the more you force it, the more they rebel and stay in diapers longer. So, yes, I know this was a fluke. But I’m going to have a big grin on my face ALL DAY. ‘Cause maybe, just maybe, she’ll do it again.

I’m up to page 222 on my revisions. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Woo hoo!
