So I was pooping just a few minutes ago and was reading the potty training book that's in there since James's daughter is two and is starting to do that sort of stuff. As I was reading it it was talking about the age of the child and when they can start potty training. They said between 24 and 30 months is usually a good time and a child over 36 months can usually do it in a weekend.

Then it mentioned something about a child over 48 months.

48 MONTHS!

That's four fucking years. I think I've bitched about this in my livejournal before, but why in the world do people tell the age of their kid in months? And when does it become acceptable to say, "Oh, he's eight years old." instead of, "Oh, he's 96 months old."

It's just convoluted, imo.

I'm 763,847,897 seconds old.

hahahaha you said lesjob.

324. I win.. or lose, as the case may be.

I will die if I haven't managed to successfully potty-train my children by the time they are 3 or 4 years old.

I think you should stop counting children's ages in months after the age of 2.

See, I think the logical place to stop counting months is when they're a year old. Sure, a bunch of development happens between the ages of 1 and 2, but, to most people you talk to, they don't need to know your kid's exact age. Plus, it'll make your kid look like a genius if you say he's a year old and already forming words when he's a week from being two.

Or she.

I guess I feel that way because hearing "18 months" doesn't sound weird, although I suppose saying "a year and a half" would also suffice.

I started speaking recognizable words around 6 months, I think. GENIUS.

They say that.. but how genius is it if the words are no more than "fart" or "poopie."
