The Doctor and The Dad
So how long do you think it should take to potty train a child? A month? A year? Approximately for-freaking-ever? Well you could do it that way. Or you could save yourself some serious time and do it like we did. We’ve potty trained two kids – in a total of two days. That’s right, […]
