All the cousins at the Zoo! After looking at this I realized it would be totally possible to have four children with their ages (6, 3, 2, and 9 months)....scary thought!

Woo Hoo!!!! We had a potty-training breakthrough this morning! Kayleigh actually told me she had to go poo-poo, and then went on the potty! Now I know most people do not get this excited over bodily functions, but I am thrilled!
On to other subjects....
I have decided to become better informed on the goings-on in the world. Right now my only source of information is Good Morning America. This is probably not the best source, but without cable it's all I have. In the past, I have voted totally based on party affiliation and I realize this is not going to work in the future (probably didn't work in the past either). This time around I would like to research the issues at hand and make an informed decision. That being said, I need some input from you ....any suggestions on web-sites that will help make me an informed citizen. I'm not really looking for radical, but I do think knowing all sides of an issue are important, so I welcome any suggestions you have! My biggest pet peeve is people who simply accept everything they hear without looking into it for themselves. Therefore, I do not want to be one of them!

Any ideas on how to get a three-year old to pick up her toys? Here's what I've tried so far:
--putting toys left out away so she cannot play with them the rest of the day
--taking away TV
--taking away outside
--time-out, while I clean up the mess
--telling her Jesus wants her to be mommy's helper ( yeah, I know, probably not the best way, but had to give it a try)
Of course, most of these are more pushment for me, then her. I'm pretty much out of ideas here. I know she's only three, but I would think she's capable of cleaning up her toys.....especially when I am there helping her do it.
