The Gargoyle
Ok so I could really ramble on for days about this book but honestly...I really wouldn't be doing it any justice at all. The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson is by far is the best book I've read all year. Here's the Barne's and Noble synopsis.
On a burn ward, a man lies between living and dying, so disfigured that no one from his past life would even recognize him. His only comfort comes from imagining various inventive ways to end his misery. Then a woman named Marianne Engel walks into his hospital room, a wild-haired, schizophrenic sculptress on the lam from the psych ward upstairs, who insists that she knows him – that she has known him, in fact, for seven hundred years. She remembers vividly when they met, in another hospital ward at a convent in medieval Germany, when she was a nun and he was a wounded mercenary left to die. If he has forgotten this, he is not to worry: she will prove it to him.
And so Marianne Engel begins to tell him their story, carving away his disbelief and slowly drawing him into the orbit and power of a word he'd never uttered: love.
This is the book that I recommend to any and all of my guy friends..the ones that actually read anyway. It has grusome details of the burn unite, ancient vikings, porn stars, the works. Try it...you'll like it.

A Whole New Outlook
Ok so I'll admit it...I've judged the women in the stripping/pole dancing industry for their career choices. I still do believe that a lot of those women chose the easy way out by degrading themselves for some good money, and yes for some it is GOOD MONEY. However, I came across a video of the US Pole Dancing Federation Championships of 2009 and let me tell you...It definitely made me think twice about the talent and strength some of these women possess. I'm still not entirel convinced that this requires a ton of brain power but still, I'm impressed!

The Wild Things are HERE!
I myself am anxious to see how the brought the monsters in the book to life. Watching the movie trailer, I'm amazed at how perfectly they fit with the illustrations of the book. I have high hopes that this movie will live up to Tyson's imaginations of this book, as well as mine own.

Potty Training and the Rewards System
4) Get a routine down and stay persistant!
For awhile I was pausing my son with whatever he was doing, (games, eating, movies), and telling him it was time to try to use the potty. I was reminding him every 30 minutes all day long. I know doing it every half hour can be rediculously tedious but believe me, the first time Tyson ran up to me and said, "Mommy I have to use the big boy potty!" It was well worth setting the egg timer for.
It's crucial to let your kiddos know when they're doing a good job and reward them in some kind of way when they're successfull in their task. Now for some success is achieved when the child either poops or pees in the toilet. For me, success came whenever Tyson would even attemp to try to use the toilet. He's a very stubburn child so any small step towards being potty trailed was rewarded with a treat. I usually pick up Kelloggs Yogos which are small soft balls made of yogurt. They're a wonderful alternative to candy and other sugar filled treats. Tyson never knew the difference. You also need to remember to not let your child manipulate you by ONLY using the potty when they know they'll get a treat. You can sometimes prevent this from occuring by only giving them a treat every other time they succeed. Another idea of reward is the sticker chart. It's pretty much a calendar that you can let your child put stickers on whenver they use the potty. A lot of parents prefer this to the treat system but this didn't work for Tyson after the 2nd or 3rd time.
