The joys of parenthood, as many of the loyal readers know, are plenty. Watching you child grow and learn is one of those many joys. Some that might not qualify as "joys" are watching you child learn how to spit food all over herself, drool all over your leather couches, or when she finally learns how to spit her food on you while you are trying to feed her. Although I do not yet know first hand, potty training might not be a great "joy" either. -Andrew
