Sisterly love

Right now they mostly ignore each other so when I take pictures, I try to pose them as lovey-dovey. Hopefully they'll be the best of friends when they get older, as they are only 2 years apart.

My Family

I've been holding myself back from posting pictures of my kids, but the gates have opened. Sadie- 2 yrs and Dazee 6 months.

Unconventional tribute to my husband or his sperm

Most women are freaked out by the notion of their husband donating sperm. Most wives feel like they own their husband's sperm.
I love babies, I am open to the idea of adoption. So stretch that logic a little further, I would raise children that are the spawn of my husband's sperm, regardless of the egg owner. Why is that so weird and unsavory for most people? Point of clarification for all you men reading this, it doesn't mean open marriage, I will raise the children born from artificial insemination. And to my dear husband: NO YOU CAN NOT KEEP HER IN THE BASEMENT.

Sex and Corruption

My apologies for the sensationalistic attention-grabbing subject, but it is relevant. Starting when my daughter was around 1 years old, I would try to threaten or bribe her. (Don't I sound like the model mom?) But her mind was so innocent that she never "got it". I'm pleased to say that after one year of intense home schooling, at 2 years old, she is cooperative for kiddie cocaine (goldfish) and very perceptive in understanding threats. So the age of innocence is over. But does this mean she has to look like the depraved monster that she is?

I'm spooked out by sexy clothes for little girls as well as sexy Halloween costumes for them. I became aware of a "chamber maid" costume for toddlers. With all due respect, (I read in Dilbert that once you say this phrase, anything can follow), to chamber maids everywhere, isn't that a euphemism for whore?

So...I happily bought some non-sexualized girl clothes today at Talbots. The cashier told me Talbots is commited to making non-sexualized kid's clothes. The clothes are really cute and well-maid (ha!) but I still think it's still a rip-off even at 50% off. But that's my own baggage, of wanting and expecting to pay like a $1 for three t-shirts.

Random thought -- Would I rather pay a premium to be a prude or a ho? Could this be a big business idea, the "Madonna-Whore" store?

Clean Diaper?

Any of you that have kids on the verge of being toilet trained-- have you noticed this peculiar and annoying behavior -- the urge to poo in a new diaper. My daughter will tell me that she wants a new diaper, I'll change her and lo and behold the fresh diaper becomes her toilet. WTF??!
