Works like a charm.

Madison recently did her first “big one” in the potty and my wife got so excited that she snapped a picture of it with her phone and sent it of to relatives.  I promise to spare you from this.  Madison is also getting up several times in the night and coming into our bedroom to let us know that she woke up.  I think she has always done this but now she wakes up and thinks, “hey, I know… I can tell mom and dad that I am up!”

This has made our mornings a total drag.  Why does time slow down when you are tired?
