Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why do babies HATE having their noses wiped and faces washed?

Because it's so important for their parents to do it all the time?

Polgara! You deserve more exclamation points because it really has been long-time-no-post! How are you doing?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why do babies HATE having their noses wiped and faces washed?

Babies hate having their noses blocked in any way. It's a panic reflex to possible suffocation.

Either that or they really like dirt and snot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I think they really like dirt and snot.

Okay what LA-istas aren't up at this point?

Seriously! Allyson is probably still asleep. Smart girl.

Lori and I already had breakfast. Off to school now.

We've decided London because it costs half as much. Belgium will be a summer trip, I think.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Have you ever had someone else wipe your nose?

I hadn't seen that picture, Nilly. It's so odd to see pictures of myself, especially pictures of my pregnant self. I'm not the person who generally hates all pictures of herself, but I always have this odd moment of, "so that's what I look like?" I'm probably 'fessing up to the worst sort of vanity, but I look much prettier in my own head than I do in photographs. Ah well.

Hee! I have a cold which is why I've been up since 6am, which is verra annoying. But otherwise, pretty much same old, same old. And how are you? :-)

Kat, yay for deciding, and yay for the possible summer trip!

Have you ever had someone else wipe your nose?

That makes sense. Though, aren't babies used to other people doing pretty much everything for them, as well?

I always have this odd moment of, "so that's what I look like?"

I have something similar, but it's closer to not liking most pictures of myself. They just never seem to me to look like the image of me that I have in my head. Not in the sense of beauty or lack thereof, but in the sense of "so this is how this me person looks from the outside?".

I'm probably 'fessing up to the worst sort of vanity

Well, you're a very pretty woman. But in my eyes, it's also in pictures, even though it's more in face-space.

I usually find most people prettier in face-space than in pictures. Then again, I've never met any actors or people who make their living by being pretty in pictures, so there may be also that.
