Those Babycenter articles are totally written by someone who CLEARLY does NOT have kid’s, and if they do they probably lock them in closet’s for fun!

Heh, you gotta take those babycenter emails with a grain of salt.

…and maybe knock back a little tequila beforehand and a little lime afterward.

My 15-month-old gives me the grumpy face when I reprimand him. Which is terrifying, because it’s like looking in a mirror.

Re: your earlier piffle about Blood Meridian. What did you think of The Road? And did you read No Country for Old Men? What did you think of it?

Also, my 2 yr old makes the uh-oh face, too. Priceless.

Yes, LinkedIn is definitely worth it. Good career networking for me. Boyfriend got an answer to a question on next-step education/qualification stuff that’s saving us a good $20-some thousand in tuition expenses and my office is now moving towards using that for more job-hunting.

Yes! 14 months and we’re at the screeching stage. I can’t imagine trying to reason with him. At least I’m not alone… :)

These days I just look at my 2.5 year old like she is INSANE when she starts the yelling, then she’ll stop and we can move on with the day. But at 15 months? Good luck getting them to do anything at all-let alone be quiet on command.

This post makes me think of the “Up!” commercial with the talking dog collar.

SQUIRREL!

Now, when he’s a little OLDER, you can try whispering in his ear, “I can’t hear you when you’re screaming.” And maybe, “Use your words.” But first he has to HAVE words. Jeezly crow. I do like whispering in the ear of a screamer, though. They have to shut up to hear YOU. And that uh oh face. OMG. Oh, and remember, he’s a redhead. They do tend to, um, melt down.
