I know it's a little early to be thinking about back-to-school
season, but, hey, retailers are doing it. So, I'm jumping on the proud

In
the Baby Squared household, we've got two very significant educational
events on the horizon for September, both of which I'm looking forward
to, mostly with excitement, but also with a touch of apprehension and
sadness. (Isn't that always the case when it comes to going back to
school?) They are:
1. Potty Training. Not the
sort of half-assed, stop and start, awareness-building potty training
we've been doing up until this point. I'm talking the three-day
intensive approach, which I've heard has gotten really good results for
a number of people I know. (For their children, that is.) I've got a
book, I've got the big girl underpants, and I'm ready to roll. The plan
is to do it the weekend after we get back from our vacation in New
Hampshire, in early September. (We fear that if we attempt it before
that, they might backslide while we're on vacay. And also, frankly, we
don't want to have to deal with trekking back and forth from our cabin
-- or wherever we happen to be during the day -- to the public
bathrooms.)
