I totally love this group! But, does it make me evil to think "I wonder if Burrel is snapping pics to blackmail her son with later in life"? I know my family would have. Hmm. Might explain some of my twisted mind.

ION, this is the THIRD day in a row I'm up before alarms. Today, I'm up before ALL of them (yes, like 6!). I've had time to actually eat a bowl of cereal in my apartment, rather than in the car!! OK, 2nd to last alarm has sounded, time to hop in the shower. (crazy I tell you, it's like I'm a morning person this week... CRAZY!)

Oh, and Emily, Roserem isn't habit-producing, so that's another plus.

"I wonder if Burrel is snapping pics to blackmail her son with later in life"? I know my family would have.

My mom has a bunch of pictures of my younger brother, around age 5 or so, wearing my old dresses, one of mom's wide-brimmed hats....and holding a toy machine gun. They're WAY funnier than the obligatory naked toddler pictures.

It's totally a take-as-you-need.

Sweet! Because my doctor gave me samples, and said it's not habit-forming, but my insurance doesn't cover it. If it's something I can take every once in a while, maybe I can save it for my 12-hours-sleep-in-3-days nights and make them last for a while. Going to take one this weekend to see if it helps me be sleepy or knocks me out for 15 hours. Sigh.

I really doubt it will knock you out. It doesn't work that way. It quiets the brain for sleep rather than knocking out. Also, check your e-mail.

many kids assume that their parents will always know when they're lying because they think that their parents know everything they're thinking - it just doesn't occur to a really young child that what's in their mind isn't also in their parents' minds

Absolutely! That kind of torment must be intense.

As for bilibo--normal bowls don't have videos. That's why they don't cost $30.

Also, check your e-mail.

Got it, thanks. We'll see how things go this weekend.

K. Let me know. And good luck!

normal bowls don't have videos.

Ohhhhhh. Well worth the expense then.

[Actually, looking at that page, it's a lot bigger than I'd originally thought. But still.]

I've already told GF and all parents that if I have a boy, he will wear a Hello Kitty onesie! Luckily they all think it's adorable.

I was a total tomboy as a kid and had tons of boy toys and lots of boy friends (not boyfriends) - my fave thing to do was skateboard. Now I'd say I'm more girly-girl, but I don't wear dresses/skirts. I want to honor whatever my child is/becomes. I can't imagine inflicting such pain on your own child, especially at such a young age. Don't you just want to hug little Bradley?
