"These are years when you probably do the most important work of your lives. Don't wish away your years of caring for small children."
-Marjorie Hinckley
We have had several catastrophes related to potty training...I will spare you the details...so I thought that this poem is fitting:
Toddlers are a challenge, true,
But patience is the key.
They smile and scream and holler,
Just as cute as they can be.
Sometimes I really wonder
If I'll make it through the day.
Catastrophes already--ten!
And one more on the way.
Is this my sacred heritage?
Teething, toys--oh why?
I hear a noise upstairs and then
Three children start to cry.
Catastrophe eleven comes,
Then goes. I give a smile.
But number twelve? "Dear Lord, please no.
Just wait a little while."
The twelfth one waits till bedtime,
So the miracle is done!
The day is almost over now--
The end of all my fun.
The house is finally quiet,
And I hear the Spirit say,
"Just thank the Lord you made it
Through another toddler day!"
