This Just In. . .

Fans!  It's been a big week here: we have a new potty seat.  That's right. And you thought you'd had a big week.  After seven years, we decided it was time.  So far, the bambini haven't remarked on it, which we really can't figure given the manner in which they treat everything that happens in the bathroom as worthy of an investigative report.

In other potty related news, these days, when Clara uses the potty to tinkle, she will sometimes cock her head, lift a finger to her ear, look at you and whisper, "I hear it."  Julie usually whispers back, "Me, too."  If Julie is tinkling and Clara is about (which, let's be frank, she often is because potty time is often not private time these days), Clara will regard Julie seriously until the dulcet tinkle begins and then Clara will point to her ear and whisper, "I hear it."

You heard it here first, Fans.
