Logan and Jameson's Mommy

You know that saying? The one that goes "you spend the first 2 years of your child's life teaching them to walk and talk, and the next 18 years telling them to sit down and shut up!" I realized this morning how true that was.

Potty training Logan was a struggle until I gave up trying to force him. He was so stubborn.
