children to be toilet trained but allow them to choose when they are ready, and assist them when they are. Lindsay and I have been using this method, wanting his curiosity to lead him to be ready. The average age children are ready for toilet training is at 22 months (1 year, 10 months), however this is simply an average, and some children will be ready before or after this period. In Ryder’s case, he became ready for toilet training at a little after 2 years, making it to the toilet about 60%…

Water can leak from pipes behind walls, from pipes under a kitchen or bathroom sink and from pipes around or behind the base of a toilet. Water can damage sheetrock walls, cabinets and flooring and enough water over time can cause mold growth. If you see a puddle where you shouldn’t be seeing one, call a professional plumber who has the right equipment to find the source of the leak…

One can only imagine the feeling of coming home one day and turning on their tap water for a shower and see that their water ran a strange color other than clear. That’s what many residents of northern Chesapeake have experienced in the recent months. Another family experienced their tap water having a distinct foul taste. Some of the residents tried to remedy their problem by cleaning faucets and shower heads all around the house. One has even replaced their faucet and shower heads multiple…

The status and impairment that I chose to address while doing the shopping center assessment was a patron of the store using a wheelchair. Hastings was the store that I assessed for accessibility, maneuverability, and safety using the Americans with Disabilities Act criteria. The following 13 categories represent the Accessibility Audit Requirements (Pierson & Fairchild, 2008).

quickly contained. The hotel was on an island, accessible by car, but there was nothing else there, not a gas station or even a convenience store.

Nick and I both climb into "dad 's" car. Getting into the car I kicked a Mcdonald 's bag almost tripping and fall on my face. As Nick laughs at me I pick a water bottle of the seat and throw it at his head. He just sucks his teeth and pushes me in and I fall into the seat. Before he sits down I brush all the debris of this seat so he doesn 't sit on an open melted lollipop and chip crumbs. As we start to get settled in I realized that his car smells like he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day.…

Throughout the article “Teaching Practices of living inquiry” by Karen Meyer there were many ideas that were new to me such as the main concept of living inquiry. I was curious to know and understand how an ongoing living of an everyday life can be a practice. A practice which lets you enjoy every part of your life living in “being in the moment” and from this theory Karen Meyer developed a course which involves pedagogy and practices of each experience. From reading the article and putting…

In Morgan Spurlock’s article, “Do You Want Lies with That?” he writes extensively about the warning label. The reader may be prone to ask, why did someone think that it would be a clever idea to eat the silicon packets found in products? Or what about the first person to think it was a clever idea to operate a hair dryer while in a bathtub? People should be able to use their common sense; a few hundred years ago, humans were responsible for their own survival, and they needed to use logic, so…

Potty training can be a very overwhelming and tedious job. If you have ventured into this stage you are most likely tired of diaper duty, and need a change. Having a potty trained child will allow you to have this freedom. Your child will also feel mature by learning something he/she can do on their own. I will give you fair warning that potty training is no easy task. It will require much time, and patience from you and your child. You may experience the occasional wetting of their underwear,…
