Hey everybody, Ben here. I’m taking over my mom’s blog today because I wanted to tell you all something. That’s right. I went poop in the potty. My mom and dad were pretty excited. They clapped and screamed so loud that it almost scared me. Well, that’s all. Just wanted to let you know that I’m a big boy now.

Hartsburg is a small town not too far from us with a population of 108 people. In the entire town.
