Got her off the ramen and drinking finer beers but there are still a few things to grow out of

I gave her one. It's sitting on her porch. Might just set it up while she's gone sometime

Yeah, that's man work.

Soooo one of the worst things I have had the pleasure of experiencing multiple times now is the bath time turd... Nothing like reaching for a water toy and grabbing a loaf instead... Or the shower squat, where you are hoping it is old body wash you just stepped in, but you know it's poop... The joys of being a dad with two boys...

[somf4eva]

Pretty much.

Trying to potty train my son. Currently using incentives but I am not sure how to get through to him.

Why cant it just be as easy as training a cat? I'm sure in perspective human child development is fast but it seems so damn slow

Ouch! I'm currently in the beginning stages of wedding planning. We're looking at a date in May, 2015 right now....gotta nail down the venue (hoping to keep them around $100/person for around 120 people, they pretty much do everything, which is nice.)

potty training my three year old now, we promised him a new "thomas bed" if we would go on the potty, he has been doing good but still is having accidents when he is sleeping during naps. It was hard to get him out of diapers because he sees his 18 month old brother in them and just wants to wear them...

[somf4eva]

Hmm. You may be just ahead of me. My son turned 3 about just over 4 weeks ago. I bought lots of wooden Thomas toys in ebay(much cheaper) and currently promise him a train if he uses the potty.

He has earned one.

Glad kids still love Thomas the Tank Engine toys and stuff.

[SonofSuns34]

dude he is so obsessed with thomas his sings "abcdefgthomashijklmthomasnopqrstuvthomaswxyz" and I have enough trackmaster tracks and trains to go around my house twice!
funny story: my cousin married a woman from Ireland and at Christmas she said "ohhh Thomas! I love Thomas but where I am from he sounds a lot like Ringo Star! (since he used to do the narration a long time ago). My other cousin was like "Really?" and I say "Yeah, they loved his voice so much on Thomas, they asked him to be the drummer for The Beatles"... she totally believed me...

Your kid is awesome.

Can't believe I haven't posted in this thread yet. Happily married for a year and a half now. Our first child was born in December. He's eleven weeks old now and I think he is crazy. He's all smiles and laughs when I leave for work and when I get home he's a twitchy mess

Just traded in my 2007 Jeep Wrangler for a new Jeep Cherokee. I bought the Wrangler straight out of college. I'll miss it, but the Cherokee will be a much better family car (for when we'll need it) and my wife and I picked it out together. I'm loving it so far!

[SonofSuns34]

I have seen some good things about the new Cherokee's, we also traded in a wrangler and an accord once the boys came around but ended up with a Santa Fe and Pilot instead.

[ThememanXX]

I love the new RAV4's. I've always been a Toyota Camry guy and the girlfriend has a RAV4 that's a few years old.

I guess you guys both liked the Wrangler? I'm actually thinking of getting one as a 3rd car for my teen drivers and wife (when she doesn't need minivan) to share

[SonofSuns34]

My wife used to live in Florida so she was a wrangler fan for life! she even had a right hand drive one for when she worked as a rural mail carrier, that always bugged people out when she went to the Wawa for a coffee in the morning. It was fun for the few months in South Jersey we could leave the top off and cruise around.

Yeah, the Wrangler was great for that. I moved down to VA after college, but my family is all from upstate NY, so it was great being able to take off the top with the nice days in VA, but still be able to handle the snow in NY during the Holidays. We went with the 4x4 Cherokee with panoramic sunroof and winter package to compensate.
