Potty Training! and Herbal Tea

What can I say? It's past time for me to be doing this but by gosh I've just been busy. Today is day five of potty training. The first two days were an emotional and physical disaster. Phillip would just cry and cry every time I put him on the toilet. Day three we took a break. Then yesterday we started up again. It seems like our day off really helped because Phillip used the potty three times last night. Once he even went by himself. I was at the store and Mike was home with Phil when Mike discovered a little bit of pee on Phil's shirt. Apparently he went by himself and forgot to pull his shirt up. Silly boy! Today he has used the potty twice and had one accident. We were outside though, and I think he just forgot he wasn't wearing a diaper, no biggie!

Okay, so now on to the herbal tea. I want to start producing more breast milk, and I have been reading a lot about how different herbs aid in healthy lactation. So last night I went to the organic section in Fred Meyer and found a tea specifically for that purpose. today will be my first day trying it out. My cup of tea is steeping as we speak, and it smells terrible. I can only pray it tastes better than this aroma I'm subjected to at the moment. So here's what all is in it:

Fennel

Aniseed

Coriander

Fenugreek seed

Thistle

Spearmint leaf

Lemongrass leaf

Lemon Verbena leaf

Marshmallow Root

Who knew marshmallow was a root? I thought it was a disgusting puffy sugar thingy. I think I'll do some research on that.
