Something else that made national publicity from little old Rome this year.

YES! My hometown made the top of the list! Not sure that's something I should be proud of. I didn't know that's how the convenience store burned, but then again, I don't watch the news. You'd be surprised at what comes out of a town of 100,000!

Congrats... My advice as a recent new parent (I have a 19 month old) would be to not listen to too much advice. Funny... I know. Remember, YOU and your lovely wife are the expert on your child. Some things may work for you, others may not. We've taken a lot of flack from people about some parenting choices that we've made (co-sleeping, breastfeeding, babywearing... etc.) But these things WORK for our family. For others, the sleep training thing works for them, or the formula thing works for them. Just do what's best for your family.
