Our rule is you can not go trick or treating and get candy unless you are a big kid.

I use inexpensive aluminum dpns, which can be bent, but I've never broken one. (Lots of sock knitters find them too slick, though, and prefer wood as it's less likely to slip out of the knitting. I like them because they're faster than wood, and fairly rigid- but that's purely a matter of personal taste.)<br /><br />Also condolences on the midnight laundry.RobinHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10325359641194305097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-46508479678571734852009-10-13T15:04:49.755-04:002009-10-13T15:04:49.755-04:00I decided to let Snorkie lead the way on potty tra...I decided to let Snorkie lead the way on potty training. He decided last Christmastime was about as long as he wanted to be in that uncomfortable diaper. I waited till the monday after New Years. He put on "big boy undies", had two accidents in a week and never looked back. The times his "overnighter" leaks...it's usually my fault for letting him drink too late in the evening. BTW he was almost 4...who cares!<br />Both of my girls stayed in pull ups overnight for a LOOOOOONG time. They all sleep too soundly to get up in the night...and I'm too lazy to get them up!<br />Blessings and good luck with the socks. I have a TON of Double ended needles, but they are all steel...they do break less often than wood!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505258364895249347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-52587725790659807422009-10-13T14:49:14.690-04:002009-10-13T14:49:14.690-04:00And here I was grousing because our CAT is pooping...And here I was grousing because our CAT is pooping all over our house.

Maybe now that I think about it they jump ship from this family when I take them on a trip. Hmmm...must give that more thought!<br /><br />However, if you run into a major issue I'd be happy to overnight you a DPN from my plentiful stock (note that it is plentiful because I keep loosing them).<br /><br />Oh the potty training. Well my grandmother once told me when I was having trouble with my oldest son that I was trying to do too many other things at one time. She told me to clear my day (okay two or three day, okay as often as possible). Let him run naked in the house and stop every half of hour and sit him on the potty. She also told me to feed him lots of liquid. Anyway then when he went in the potty I was suppose to say 'there feel that you have to pee' I personally thought she was nuts. Considering I was 19 at the time & willing to try anything I tried it. That was also the point in my life where I realized my grandmother knew her shit. It wasn't a miracle fix, but it helped (a lot). <br /><br />However, my daughter had the bed wetting issue til she was near 4. Best advice on that one is no liquids 2-3 hours prior to her going to bed.<br /><br />Well now that I've rambled on about potty training and become one of those women who swear the way they did it is wonderful I should get on with my day.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208117589724651149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-31534892098337319072009-10-13T09:24:04.110-04:002009-10-13T09:24:04.110-04:00I'm potty-training my sixth right now and I...I'm potty-training my sixth right now and I'm about to blow my brains out.<br /><br />Have I learned nothing over the years?Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825826597565796467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-33817106958642065272009-10-13T07:21:56.953-04:002009-10-13T07:21:56.953-04:00I want to learn how to knit socks.

She tells me the police are looking for it.<br /><br />Scrappy Sue was telling me the other day that recent research shows that children potty train when their bodies are up to it and not before. So there's not a great deal you can do about Suzie's crazee weeing skillz.
