That's cool. He sleeps in our bed half the time, so I'd actually prefer he not roll. I'm trying to figure out how to stabilize him. Weighting him down clearly doesn't work.

Call Crane's in the Tyson's mall. Ask them to fax/email designs to you. You know the paper is good.

Wait'll he starts kicking with both feet at once. Surprising how hard someone who weighs 20 lbs can kick you in the kidneys.

Their aim is amazing, no?

That, or, as we get older we become weak and vulnerable everywhere.

I don't know about you, but I, for one, am not getting older. In fact, I'm getting younger!

You can't go wrong with a classic. Here's a link to Crane & Co.

Mine goes right for the incision. But the little feet are so sweet that it doesn't hurt ... really!!!

Why didn't I think of that? It's not as if I haven't ordered stuff from Crane's for myself. Anyway, thanks to you and Burger.

Does this to happen to anyone else -- that sometimes you get so hooked on internet shopping and doing a google search for a product that you lose sight of one of the first brick and mortar places you would go to?

1.) Time for the control small children in public places discussion again. This time via the New York Times.

2.) Any tips for someone who is dating someone with small children? Suggestions from step-parents or their spouses, or just anyone who has dated MILFs and/or FILFs would be welcome. I don't have kids of my own (unless the dogs count) and it's been awhile since I was regularly babysitting.

Before I opted out of dating folks with children ... anyway, my tips are as follows....

1. just try to be an adult friend but without any pressure...kids are fickle, some days you are the best...some days the worst thing on earth...don't take it personally either day

2. Kids are very literal so say what you mean and mean what you say...don't say you like pro wrestling and then not want to spend a WHOLE saturday watching it...or going in person....etc...

3. don't forget their kid...so if they react to you strangely...well ask if its a strange reaction for a kid, or strange for an adult....

thats they beauty of kids...when they act like a kid, its because they are supposed to...unlike the client who is 45 but acts 7.....

this one is cool too, but you'd have to have a king or cal-king for it

Point of the Year. RT deals with Penske every day and he acts like a 4 year old*. Just think of how you deal with Penske, but with the possibility that he will grow to be more mature.

Clarifying note- I have no idea how old the children RT may be spending time with may be, and as such this is intended in no way to be an outing reference.

Kidneys not so much. Boobies yes. Full boobies. Ouch. He mostly sleeps in his bassinet at night, but is over the weight limit already (about 20lbs at 4mos) and #1 is still in the crib and LOVES his crib. I'm waiting for a neighbor to get her twins out of their cribs next month to buy one of her cribs for #2 - it seems ridiculous to buy a new one for maybe 6mos of use. We have the toddler bed set up for #2, but he shows absolutely no interest in it and, frankly, I prefer them caged at night.

I will lend you one to practice with. I trust you.
