Other random note: a bulb syringe to suck snot out of noses is one of my favorite parent-of-newborn tools. But as much as I love and depend on it, Noah hates it in equal an unabashed measure.

I don't know of any babies who like the snotsucker. See also, Lillian shooting her hand out to block the snotsucker heading straight for another baby's face, back when she was still in the infant room.

Also took the YMCA offline. Let me tell you - being on a treadmill and having the power go out? Not as much fun as you may think.

Casper loved the booginator. It fixed the evil boogers, you see. Dillo, not so much. Much less rational infant.

okay, that's hysterical. Of course if I were a baby, I wouldn't like the snotsucker; K is convinced she's going to pull his brain through a nostril. But he's so much happier after the fact because he can breathe so much easier.

Hint from nursing staff: spray a little bit of saline BEFORE application of snotsucker and it's way more effective.

Timelies all!

Hmm, it'll be interesting to see which of my usual haunts online are available...

Hmmm, from here it seems pretty funny.

Thhhpth. No Italian food for you, missy!

Today's edition of I Don't Understand Other People's Clothing Choices: I just passed a woman wearing 4" stilletto-heeled, peep-toe, sling-back shoes; black baggy capris; a hip-length fuchsia sequined tank top; and a shrunken black denim jacket. With kinda frizzy, "my blow-out has given up", overly-bleached hair and peach lipgloss.

We're sorry Jilli. She escaped Dallas. You can just send her on back down here. She's probably lost, poor thing.
