ok, so i found a recipe on good ol' stewart's site while searching for a candied walnuts recipe for a salad i was going to make for laocoon's birthday. so, it seemed good and i was looking for something a little spicy too. oh man, now i can't stop eating these babies. everybody should try them, even if it's too late to take them to your thanksgiving dinner. and they can be made with other nuts, you don't have to use walnuts....
on a thanksgiving note, no. 1 peed his pants yesterday because he was having too much fun to go inside and pee. but then he wanted to leave immediately after, which i'm not denying was a good idea, but then it seems like his plan backfired and he wasn't able to play with the other kids more anyways. i'm looking in the psychol's direction for any help on this matter. it has happened before too. and when i calmly talk to him about why he does this, he cries like crazy and feels really bad, but do i punish him? or forgive with no repercussions? at least he's gotten to the point where he can be honest and figure out why he's doing it. poor thing.

those nuts sound amazing. but i know if i made them i would finish them off in, oh, 10-15 min....no self control.
in fact, i just finished reading your entire catalog of posts. makes me miss you and the kiddies. hope to see you in a month. do you think no. 1 will even remember me?

not sure what is up with that really, but sounds like its a great moment to discuss choices and consequences to help the little dude make a better decision for himself next time. not sure if a punishment would be that helpful.
oh yeah, no. 1 will definitely remember a lady. will the psychol still be jealous?
Ok, so I have a friend who had this problem. What her parents did was buy a cheap digital watch and set the alarm for every two hours on weekends. When the alarm went off, they did a potty check and asked her if she'd need to go. She got so tired of them bothering her that she quickly learned that the reading, playing, etc. can wait for a few minutes while in the bathroom. Punishing her seemed to make her even more pee shy.
