When I win the lottery and have a brazillion dollars, I am putting together an all-expense paid trip for Buffista Parents and Buffista Aunts & Uncles and we're all going to like a big resort and letting the kids loose on a small Carribean island.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Punishingly Intricate
At some point in the past 7 days, I have completely lost the ability to be comforting.
Or you have increased your ability to be amusing.
And I know it's just a phase, but it's fucking depressing all the same.
My best friend's 2-year old boy twin is going through this thing now when, if he gets hurt, he will only let his dad comfort him. That's a hard one to deal with.

When kids hit that alternate parent phase, it SUCKS being the parent they want nothing to do with. So with you there, babe. Mwah.

So much baby/toddler coping ~ma to the wonderful Buffista parents! Aims, I agree that clueless friend is just going to have to find out for himself. "Clueless friend, meet 3. 3 can't wait to get to know you better." Jessica, that must be really frustrating, I'm sorry. I agree that he just finds you too fascinating to sleep.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
my favorite story time story
I was reading a story called Happy Dog. It is about a cat that can't play outside, because it is raining. So he paints a friend - and the friend ( a dog ) comes out of painting. T ( who might have been 4) stopped the story time - because he wanted to know how they could get in and out of the painting. The class discuses it for a few minutes ( by the way , my ideas were useless) and finally came to the conclusion it was magic paint ( the three yr old version of handwaving I think). But it was a very logical and analytical discussion for kids under 5.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Trust me, I am neither pretty nor interesting at 3 in the morning. But you guys are wonderful anyway.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
My three year old nephew decided that the best way to get my attention on my trip to Dallas was to throw things at me and then laugh hysterically. The kid has a good arm too. Three year olds are just little demons, but if this person says it again, totally smite him.

I guess I forgot to take into account that his kid got kicked out of daycare at 15 months for....
Fighting.
