My daughter is sweet, smart, stubborn and sometimes defiant. Yup, a pretty normal preschooler! Sometimes she’s a...
My youngest was just about 16 months when I enrolled her in a Mother’s Day Out program through our church. I was so excited for her to spend some time with a group of little ones around her age....
I think I speak for a lot of parents when I say that I do NOT like potty training.
