My two cent...He sure has a mature look in that pic! My two cents on potty training (I've done it a few times . . . ): WAIT UNTIL THE CHILD IS READY AND TAKING THE INITIATIVE!!! If he's 18 months, yea for you. If it's not til he's three, that's okay too. But otherwise you will be training yourself, not the kid, and you will both be pulling out your hair. I'm also a big fan of leaving them in their crib as long as possible too. Sorry to be going against your pediatrician's advice!! I really just logged on to check in on you cause I was missing you. Never planning to weigh in on parenting topics.
