Thoughts on parenting

[loCAtek]

Actually, I've heard body builders will do that, for the most nutrition with the least calories. Bon appetite!

no snow here or on the west side of the state that means my house is going to be packed for my sons first b-day on saturday.

Wow, that year went by quickly. Does it seem so to you?

Is it bad that my son snaps to attention at the south park theme?

[Sue U]

I guess Erik should be posting here any day now.

Not if it got him weaned off the wiggles.

I guess Erik should be posting here any day now.

As is his interest is in Communist Chinese websites and ordering Porn on TV.

What, have you given him a disorder already?

last night in his first use of the words my son said to me "I love you"

[The Hen]

Now THAT is priceless.

Nice first words.

[Crackpot]

He's says some words (he uses "da-da" as the lingustic equvelent of "smurf") but it's the first time he used those particular words

[dales]

Now, that is priceless.

Get that on video and replay it often.

[loCAtek]

Best post ever.

I agree with dales CP, get it on tape. It's one of those moments that drum home the whole parenting thing to you.

[Crackpot]

hasn't said it again since

[The Hen]

That's the way it goes.

I remember the Hatch's first words (sounds) because I was warned that most babies will always say Da da da da before they attempt Ma ma ma ma, and not to take it personally.

So I was moving her round room to room whilst I got on with the cleaning when she clearly called out Mum mum mum mum. Feeling a little harassed and frazzled, I simply asked her "What is it now?" before I realized what had just occurred!

I could never convince the Hatch's Dad that her first words were Mum Mum mum mum, as whe had several weeks of just Dad dad dad dad.

[Sue U]

Ha, my son's first word was "gogger," by which he meant "cracker." Food is stll his top priority.

[Crackpot]

he's started saying "fork" with the predictable impediment

Forget the tape/video/whatever. You were there and it's etched into your memory forever; you can replay it whenever and wherever you want this way.
