My middle ended the season heading to playoffs… They aren’t number one but he sure feels like it. #3 ended the season uncertain about whether he will return to the field next year, but still smiling because that’s just who he is. And also, they gave him a snack. And let him
Let me tell you a little secret about youth football. The most exciting thing for first timers under the age of about 7 is probably gonna be the athletic supporter.

The one every parent everywhere has been waiting for… Dumb Mom’s Guide to Potty Training a reluctant and at times belligerent recently-turned-two year old boy Yes, friends, it can be done. #3, resident reluctant and borderline belligerent two year old boy, is fully daytime potty trained with a little nighttime accompaniment.
I am the proud owner of 3 Dudes who rarely no longer poop, pee, or otherwise soil themselves. They wear underwear daily without incident and have been for ages. I take full credit for this (okay, the third one figured out the potty all by himself a couple weeks shy of his second birthday, but still, I count it as a mom win because, after
Not the 11 year old type questions I am afraid are soon to be coming from my soon-to-be 11 year old. The important kind. The kind that prove, unequivocally, that boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider because it’s not anywhere near the mall.
