I agree with everyone.  In some ways, K has been awesome lately.  But he also definitely has meltdowns over crazy tiny things, especially being the "leader". If anyone ever walks in front of him going anywhere, no matter how...

Sue - that is scary!  I've never had K do that to me, but I absolutely worry that L will do it as soon as she gets the chance.  Her favorite game ever is to run the wrong direction at top speed and be...

Funny the different things we worry about in different places.  Any people that come by our place are likely to be friends of ours. My main misgiving about leaving K out playing by himself is bears and wandering dogs! I'm relying...

Cindy - I like Gemma Rose.  :)   Everr - Boyfriend! Awesome.  Hope it continues to go well.   Sue - Glad to hear the diet is helping F's pottying. I know that my husband had horrible bedwetting and accident...
