Book on Child Development

We edit them together and make margin notes and then the kids sign them only agreeing to the stuff they want to. Haven't had it contested yet.
Yes, I am a complete douchebag. |

Mine seems to get it. Not the globe yet, but the airplane/travel/hotel/other location. It helped that we had a weekend away this summer and he knows what a hotel is now. He'll be 3 next month......*GASP*....how did that happen? |

myspace
So my lover's babysitter used her home computer to do the myspace thing while babysitting over the weekend and didn't erase the histoury.
Apparently, according to herspace, she is a "freak between the sheets".
Would it be inappropriate to "friend" her?

No but it would be appropriate to put in a a nanny cam and put up pictures here. |

Unfortunately he's a bit young (9 months). Next year, for certain.

I dunno about anyone else, but I would have given him candy if he'd ended up on my doorstep last night. He probably would have even scored a Reeces.

I learned that babies love playing with wrapped candy even if they're not permitted to eat it. Some neighborhood kids got Snickers with drool. Don't worry -- I swiped them with a baby wipe before handing them out; and I did not distribute any candy with teeth marks. |
