Wow,I was worried about you.I miss it when you do not post.I thought maybe you could not take it anymore, ran off and changed your identity.Perhaps I thought that because it is one of my wild day dreams.

Strohm, LOL, we share the same thoughts, Today I will have to wash every bed linens, pillow and floor and probably some furniture in his room. He was up at 1 AM and whipped it out and let go, peeing everywhere. He goes poop in the Depends, why does he still insist on pulling his penis out to pee!?

Well little boys first learn to pee independently,before they learn to poop independently.Rollie is just reversing that natural order.

My MIL will soak her Depends about 8 times,without uttering a word.But,on the ninth time,she will scream,and I do mean scream,"I pee pee,I pee pee".It only happens when I am on the top floor of the house, with both arms full of something.

Hang in there Deb. You are our inspiration!
My Mom was so horrified when she poohed in her depends she would cry and say she was dying. After I would get her cleaned up, she was just fine :-)

It has been a very long time since I have visited here and caught up with what everyone is doing, at least for those of you I don't keep track of on FB.
Neal is pretty much the same most of the time although I actualy do think he is more responsive and engaged in our daily life then he had been for years.
I'm not sure if I can give credit for that to the supplements I started him on several months ago OR if our "granddauther" can take the credit. I suspect she has a big lot to do with it.
At any rate I now have Neal, a 15 month old, all our dogs and cats and of course the house and other chores to keep up on.
I do manage a few hours online nearly every day but most of the time I'm ust to tired to really think much and we've had some serious stress connected to the baby which has not helped me get outside myself much.
