I can only tell you what NOT to do. I tried to teach my son to pee in the toilet by throwing a handful of cheerios in it and letting him "sink" them. It worked GREAT - UNTIL HE PISSED INto HIS CEREAL BOWL at breakfast.

I am one of nine children and being born into a big family is one of the best things that ever happened to me. Everyone thinks that having a lot of kids is so overwhelming, but the thing is when the kids get older they help with the little kids. It taught me a lot about responsibility and dealing with people. My mom isn't superwoman, but she is very happy and I am so grateful to her and my dad for being open to life. If they followed the normal 2-3 kids thing I wouldn't be here! (I'm #4). And my parents have plenty of love to go around, too. It's not like we were short-changed of our parents attention and affection. With more people around there is always someone to talk to and life is so much more interesting. There is nothing greater in the world than bringing a child into the world. Okay, that's just my opinion...but think about it. When they are old and gray I never hear people say "I wish I would've had fewer kids." It's usually, "I wish I would've had more kids." I know I want to have a lot of kids. I know a lot of other families that do and it is totally possible, realistic, and fulfilling. I can promise you that 40 years from now you will be so glad you did. Best wishes!
