Cutie, Crying, and the Weirding Way
I was just laying in bed with Sarah and our youngest child. He’s just a little bit over one year old.
Codename: Cutie Snoo. (Because I don’t like using my kid’s real names online.)
I don’t know how it works in other households, but in ours, a lot of the day-to-day kid activities end up happening on the bed. Sarah has a huge king-sized mattress that just rests on the floor. Partly because she likes it that way, and partly because low-to-the ground beds are easier and safer for kids.

sociopaths... bloodlines? are you related to any high-profile guys or gals :)
I am a mother of 2 wonder adults who do not have a famous mother or father but I am here to say this one thing if you are a parent please enjoy them, love them, raise them with respect for not only themselves but for others as well. Help them to love the good things and to look for the good in all things and when wronged take the right action for the situation.If they have a talent help them to develop it in ways that it would not only benefit them and their family but all of mankind.
Enjoy them, laugh with them, train them, respect them for without respect being given to each other willingly then you should not be given respect because you did not give it willingly.
Live, Laugh, Love.
Thanks for sharing that graceful personal information with us

Hey Nolan I do agree so much with you on Ancestry.com. I went to or have tried to find free sites to find my ancestors and would like to know if the coat of arms are accurate.
Sometimes local libraries will help for free.
Empathy was one of the things I hopefully awaited with my children--even more so than the overt developmental milestones like crawling or walking. (Call it the paranoid vigilance of one who's crossed paths--and bloodlines--with a few too many sociopaths. >.>)
My first child started showing signs of feeling for others right around the age of 3, but he'd been so sensitive up until then, I wasn't too concerned. Child #2, however, had me worried up until a few months before her 5th birthday. (You know the kids who torment the family cat and can't seem to help but laugh hysterically when they see another person fall or injure themselves? That was her. I was horrified she was on the path to becoming a bully, or worse.
As it turned out, the concept just happened to 'click' for her much later than I would have liked. She still may eventually take over the world through sheer force of personality...but I at least have the hope of her being a benevolent dictator. >.<
