molding the young minds





the pediatrician {who heard it from the AAP}, says not to let the home fries watch any television until they are 2 years old. thereafter, limit them to 15 minutes a day.

the mama says, good idea. bahahahahahahahahahah!!!

does the pediatrician have any suggestions regarding how one might get one's children to speak in a british accent without kipper? or glorious gibberish without pingu? or make up songs about a pupa spontaneously without the wonderpets? or learn to narrate everything in song without the backyardigans? i ask you.

this morning when i was dressing ally, she noticed i had chosen striped underpants, striped tights and a striped shirt. "i'm all striped up! i'm disappearing in stripes!"
she suffered it until it was time to go to the library, at which time she requested that i change her back into herself. today, that meant plaid. "oh, i love squares! now i'm me again!"
