herinfernallady

thank you for the clues
2:41 am

The butcher only gets one leg from the bunny so the bunny is lo 7/36
2:41 am
rolin

ch8/60 more to go with the fish
2:41 am
metaleather

then she might be a ch7/44 but she wouldn't be very ch7/44
2:42 am
Atalante

sh7 - someone who gives the bunny from butcher to customer
2:42 am
metaleather

and she might have to live on a gl7/40 even though her clothing was la6/21

In other countries (esp 3rd world) mothers use what is called "elimination communication"----kids are trained quite young this way--fascinating! Up intil the 1960's 95% of American kids were trained by 24 mo.

Re: potty training, Chinese friends have told me that some families there just never put diapers on the baby. They have wood or linoleum floors they can clean up, and then put the baby on the pot constantly. I have only one, I found the diapers more convenient in some ways. When he potty trained, I realized I would have to start taking him into gross public bathrooms whenever we were out. (He's 3 and some months now.)

When my son was a little over 2 he was telling us he had to go potty. I didn't want to put diapers on him again and we went to the circus. Of course he had to "go" I had to climb over rows and carry him and by the time we got to the bathroom, he had wet his pants. You better believe we weren't leaving

My oldest son was the hardest to potty train. I finally made him puzzles, starting with a four piece one. Every time he used the potty he got to glue on one puzzle piece. When he finished he got a Matchbox car. The next puzzle was more pieces, but it finally worked when nothing else had.

hard earned experience, faerie. you can grate a little ginger in right at the end too - natural antibiotic qualities. and if you're really desperate, a little raw garlic and cayenne pepper - tastes disgusting but works wonders.
