These kind of questions test you as to whether you really did learn anything in school. Do you need some adult conversation?

If all those warnings about not stepping on the baby's head are going towards one sibling that seems dangerous for the baby. May be the baby better have a more secure "play area".

Your blogs are so stimulating to read and make me want to comment.

HA HA HA HA HA! I laughed out loud and my 1-year-old looked at me like I'm crazy. Maybe I am...or at least, maybe I will be in a couple of years when I find things like this coming out of my mouth.

I am E-mailing this post to my husband so he knows what we have to look forward to. ;-)

That one boy of your is definitely his aunt Tabby's nephew. "That is not your jaw; that is your chest." as you know, we had some identity issues in that area for her recently :).

Thank you Courtney! Richard and I have just enjoyed a much needed hearty laugh as we play the waiting game in the hospital. I'm going to keep a copy of your list handy for future reference!

This had me roaring. I've heard quite a few of these coming out of my own mouth lately!

In our house it was the slight variation, "No, your forehead is not your wrist."
