One thing to keep in mind: it is best to keep your blog fairly anonymous. for example, it is easy to slip up and write something like "I am excited to go on vacation," but if it is too easy to figure out who you are, your home might be at risk while you are away. Similarly, reserve some of your honest feelings and rants, as you never quite know who is reading your blog. But with safety and such in mind, have fun and blog away!

At the same time, beware that many of these are just vehicles for advertising, aimed to make us moms feel we need to buy lots of stuff and look a certain way. Read them, by all means (especially Brain, Child), but know that they are trying to market at you.
In Potty Training Tips
I had a similar situation to the mom who posted this--I knew my daughter had a strong enough personality that if we waited too long, there'd be hell to pay! At the same time, she did show all of the "readiness" signs, and I realized it was only me who was not ready. We started at about 19 months, and now that she is two, we tend to have many more successes than failures. Some tough things about her being so young though: communication is difficult, and self-dressing has only just begun, so we have to be very dialed-in and involved all the time. Some things that helped us--she loved the Elmo Potty Time DVD, and actually had her first poop on the potty after watching it (with me noticing her cues). Also, ditch the pull-ups. If they can't feel it, they don't care. We went straight to wearing nothing on the bottom for a few weeks, until she got used to how it felt (with lots of accidents) and then switched to panties, and had lots of accidents again until she got used to that. She still wears diapers at night, and I don't plan to phase those out until she is very well established. Good luck to you all, no matter when and how! :)
