Put it in right and it won't come out all day. It takes longer than a couple weeks to master, but hey- it's better than the barrette. if you’re reluctant to cut trixie’s hair, you can try those little rubber bands, the plastic-y ones that don’t rip out your hair or anything.

I still get even after years of teen-shock therapy from my kid. I can think about the day I'll have to "give her hand in marriage" and ball like baby who just had his "paci" taken away.

And I can't think of a better movie to do it at than I am Sam. Sniffle. However, I don't recommend crying on pizza: it doubles the blood-pressure raising value of the slice.

Even though my brainy literary self knew the "I can't do this alone" line was cheesy, the Dad part of me got all misty. Funny; I had the same exact reaction to The Incredibles.

Like a switch that gets turned on the second you have your own child. A friend sent me a beautiful poem called "Before I was a Mom". I loved it so much I printed it in color and put it up in my son's room (he is 14 months old). Here is a small excerpt: "Before I was a mom I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt... Before I was a mom I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body... Before I was a mom I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important... Before I was a mom I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay... I had never known the warmth, the joy, the heartache, the wonder, or the satisfaction of being a mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a mom." My husband agrees when I say that the word 'mom' can be easily swapped for the words 'dad' and 'parent'. Enjoy every minute!!! Kristian's mom Isn’t it amazing how nature works?

Like, when I was about 7 months pregnant and on ER Carter and his girlfriend lost their baby at 7 months. It was as if the hormone gods were just wanting me to spend a good three hours in bed sobbing to myself. Nice. Before I came to my senses, I was ready to go on a total TV boycott because it seemed every show I watched had to do with someone's baby or child dying in a horrible way. DId anyone see the episode of Without a Trace when the woman accidentally smothered her baby while nursing her? I mean c'mon people - that sent me into a total tailspin. I think my husband thought I was having a total mental breakdown. Oh yeah – once you have a baby, the baby-related tragedy stories just start coming out of the woodwork.
