Thanks for sharing. I eat snacks everyday and so choosing healthy ones is very important. I don’t want to gain pounds because of them.

Greetings from Tim.

My son sometimes is really crabby when he gets up from his nap so one day I decided to climb into his closet and then come out over and over as different silly monsters (a la Disney’s Monsters Inc.). He laughed so hard and I sometimes get requests for a repeat performance.

oh, and btw. I want to try some of those chocolate nuts, but is it the SAME CAN that tastes like chocolate AND cool ranch doritos. I'm thinking no. That would just be weird. Erin Gs last blog post..But Don't Call Him "Pumpkin"

when nathan was a newborn, I got it into my head that taking a naked nap (air time!!) would be the best way to clear up his diaper rash.

ummm, not so much.

but I did learn why we need TWO sets of crib sheets.

The most nutty? I can't think of anything specific, but I'm sure I sound nuts sometimes the funny things I say and faces I make trying to get my son to laugh sometimes! Richelle Fs last blog post..D and E

The nuttiest thing I can think of is…last year for show-and-tell, my preschool son got to take home the class fox (stuffed) to have adventures with, then share with the class. My sister and brother-in-law were in town from NY, and we were heading home from lunch when I saw a fire truck. I always point them out to my boys, but this time, as it turned into a shopping mall, I pulled a quick U-turn and chased it down. I approached the firemen (SOO cute–what is it with firemen?!), and asked if we could take pictures of the truck. As I got closer, I realized they had just come from a fire–still smelling of smoke and covered in soot! They were so great; they picked up my son and set him in the cab, flashed the lights and chirped the siren! My son and the fox got to climb around the truck, I snapped pictures galore and scored big brownie points with my son, sister AND the class!

The nuttiest thing I ever did as a parent was when my 3 yr old wanted to know what would happen if he opened the emergency exit door at WalMart. I let him. It was embarrassing...the alarm was so loud he started crying and wet his pants. Sigh...dumb, dumb, dumb. Tyna Begleys last blog post..Autumn

When we run out of entertainment ideas my husband hooks up the dog leash to our laundry basket and pulls the kids around the house. They love it! The dog gets excited because he thinks he’s going on a walk but is totally let down when he realizes the leash is going on the laundry basket.

Our first child was one I always say made us look good as parents. The second popped out complaining about the temperature of the breast milk. She didn’t smile when awake until she was about two. Since she would laugh and smile when asleep, all her baby pictures with her smiling have her eyes half open.

Anyway, even as a newborn, the second didn’t like to be touched — not even to nurse. My first child was such a lap dog I couldn’t imagine a baby not wanting to be held or snuggle. I’d prop a pillow behind her on the bed, lie down alongside her, plop a breast in her mouth and she’d chow down. If I attempted to touch her when she didn’t want to be touched she would detach, fuss, kick, and scream.

After not too long I started seeing her behavior as rejection (yeah, I’m sure hormones (mine) had a lot to do with those feelings). Since I always wanted her to see me happy to be around her. I spiked her mohawk-style hair with different colors of Halloween gel. She looked so ridiculous I couldn’t help but laugh and giggle when around her.

Her hair would be Fluorescent Orange, other times Neon Green, or Sparkly Red. On emotionally low days each spike would get it’s own different color. I would have to say that’s about as nutty as I ever got with any of the kids.

OH… and the “nuttiest” thing I have ever done as a Mum… *sigh* Dressing up in full hippie gear and visiting all the kids classrooms in a single day. Complete with a curly black wig and pink Lennon style eyeglasses.

(Cuz I’m a bit um, slow and require two comments to get one done.
Cheers!
