Start making business cards now, Mommy -- these kids have a lucrative career ahead of them!

I hate potty training. A lot. 

Diaper changing just isn't a big deal to me. It can always wait until a phone call is finished, I'm out of the shower, or a whole cup of coffee is in my system. Potty-training is a RIGHT THIS MINUTE issue. And I am so not a fan of sitting near a toilet for 15 minutes, reading books or playing trains. That's just icky. Unfortunately, my husband has put his foot down, refusing to let me keep child number four in diapers for the rest of his life.

I don't know whether they overheard me talking about it, simply picked up on my vibes, or genuinely wanted to do it, but my 6- and 7-year-old daughters have announced that they are going to potty train their brother. They've come up with a tag team arrangement, a schedule, a success chart, and a reward system. It's only been two days so far, but they're doing it. And it's WORKING!

So, yeah, I'm pawning off my least favorite job to my little kids.
