I found when we did our ho...This was really funny. I found when we did our homestudy the questions made it seem like they expected us to have everything all figured out. Show me a new mom with a newborn who has it all figured out from day one. But when you are adopting for some reason you are supposed to have it all together and have spent hours thinking about this stuff. But ultimately you are right. It's a tool for them to get to know you. Good luck!Guera!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12616928404421960462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426528274498379178.post-62369354631947047142009-02-19T12:47:00.000-08:002009-02-19T12:47:00.000-08:00Potty Training book saving!!!!!!__________________...Potty Training book saving!!!!!!<BR/>________________________________________<BR/>Men’s Health Magazine (Sept. issue) recommends Potty Train Your Child in Just One Day: Proven Secrets of the Potty Pro by Teri Crane. My husband picked us up a copy after reading the article. IT REALLY WORKS!! <BR/><BR/>Everyone is talking about throwing a "potty party" to potty train a child. I was so desperate; I was willing to do anything. Her book outlines 10 themed parties. What kid doesn't love to play and pretend? All my mommy friends have successfully potty trained their kids with her book too.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, when I first learned of this book, I thought NO WAY! Maybe this would work on a little girl, but NOT a BOSSY, 2-1/2 year old BOY. NO WAY! Guess what? It REALLY WORKED!!! Teri Crane SAVED MY SANITY!!! Her book was easy to read, funny and extremely helpful. I can't thank Teri enough. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to EVERY parent. It will save you much grief and frustration. Potty training shouldn't be difficult, we as parents make it difficult because we don't know what to do. Teri teaches you. Buy the book, it's the best money you will ever spend<BR/><BR/>Most amazingly, I had some questions, so I called the author, and she CALLED ME BACK!!Gwyneth Paltrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12943746893256776277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2426528274498379178.post-37227628936101516042009-02-19T11:16:00.000-08:002009-02-19T11:16:00.000-08:00Oh my goodness! I always wonder what kind of quest...Oh my goodness! I always wonder what kind of questions they ask on the homestudy....some of those are hysterical...I think my DH and I would have about the same reaction as you guys lol<BR/><BR/>I'm putting together a business plan for our new business and it's ridiculous, because it's a lot of the same things...just completely made up facts and agendas.Jessica Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801308494220195403noreply@blogger.com
