We have a pretty girl-centric household. :) Mia is a bit too young to mind being called a baby, still. In a few months the "big kid" stuff might kick in. I need to keep reminding myself to stop calling her a baby. I think to Bianca, everyone 2 and under is a "baby." And those under 1 are "little babies." :)Maliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079242466743529453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586136105216004246.post-16254811211084706692012-02-12T16:58:38.859-08:002012-02-12T16:58:38.859-08:00So what happens when Daddy has to use the bathroom...So what happens when Daddy has to use the bathroom?
