Happy 2008!
Call me a sap, but I love the stereotypical new year's traditions. I love the idea of a fresh start, new beginnings, a second chance. The new year always feels hopeful to me. I can put aside the insanity of the prior year - the ups, the downs - and start over. Every 365 days I have the opportunity to really try to be the person I imagine I'd like to be.
Along with the new year, comes resolutions. I've never been a big believer in setting resolutions and announcing them to the world. But secretly I set a few anyway and use them to guide my own actions.
LT has been introduced to the idea of the new year...with a new potty! And a new Elmo potty DVD! And special feel n' learn D*ora pull-ups! Exciting times around here. Yesterday she brought me a changing pad, diaper and wipes and asked me to change her diaper after she pooped. Me thinks it's time to start potty training.
I'm off to wipe away all traces of Christmas cheer from our home and dig out from the toy overload. Happy New Year!
Yay! this will be the year you blog every day, yes? See you soon!

Ah yes! New year, new potty. Perfect! We had really good success with the Elm0 potty game on PBSKids.org. Yeah, I'm not big on sharing my vague resolutions but I have some. Somewhere. I'm so glad you resolved to blog daily in 2008. Awesome! ;-)
