milestone

diapers, nine years strong
finally in our home they're gone
bottoms cotton dry

That was almost a haiku!

Beautiful accomplishment! Now you can get a dog! :)

Must be music to your ears... or a haiku, at least. Beautiful job.

Hey - we have a dog available for babysitting soon if you need some practice...

Pam said...

It was supposed to be a haiku...did I over syllable it or something?

Regarding dog sitting. When do you need it? I'm out of town in a couple of weeks.

I did 3 syllables for finally. I blame it on being married to a southerner.

This calls for a celebration! Just don't try a pull-up burning ceremony like noothername did.

So, what classifies as a haiku? I didn't know there were rules.

I think we might have found a doggie solution tonight... Looking for help for the Cancun trip, 10th through the 14th (in a couple weeks - probably while you're gone). Everyone's always up for helping with Guff, but poor Duncan... :-)

No worries, there will be plenty of opportunities to go around when we go to India... :-)

KJ - haiku is 5 syllable 1st stanza, 7 syllable 2nd, 5 syllable 3rd. Pam - I got it - and 'finally' is definitely one of those words you can manipulate to suit your own syllabic needs... ;-)

Thanks Vonda for the clarification on "finally". I thought it was correct.

I love haiku. It brings poetic artistry to its most simplest, lovely elements. Choose your words carefully.

Way to go G girl! I bet she loves it just as much as you do. Congrats to you for having trained THREE kids!

I think I choose the easiest form of potty training and that is to wait until their 3 or 4. This is the least of my favorite parental duties and I put it off as long as possible.
