I'm sure you ...Carissa: Don't shortchange yourself. I'm sure you could handle more than your two adorable little girls. <BR/><BR/>Kelcey: They come hardwired. The personalities preset. Likes and dislikes already determined. That's the way it is. <BR/><BR/>Louise: I laughed and laughed and laughed at this image. I want to say way to go! to your little girl but ahem... I'm sure I have no idea what possibly she could have been enjoying so. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Chesca dear: No, no act of hubris there. I'd like streets with my name on them too and I don't think there is anything whatsoever wrong with that. Soon I will send you the photo of it. Busy weekend, rainy day today. Please excuse the delay in getting it to you. Also, glad you liked the Jon Stewart clip. I love the guy. <BR/><BR/>Suzanne: Oh Suzanne... I am sure there will be so many more good ones to choose from in the intervening years until THAT moment comes, that I'm sure I will be hard-pressed to remember this one.<BR/><BR/>Cce: Heading over to Amazon to look for this book. Not that I need to read it to answer the question but I love this kind of hypothetical what if. So happy you enjoyed the clip also. <BR/><BR/>Jennifer: You'll have to fight me for him. I love the guy too. Little hands and all. Have you noticed how small his hands are? I've always liked big handed guys but Jon has so much of everything else that makes life worthwhile, that like I said - It'll be between me and you sister. And he does look like he'd be a good kisser doesn't he? It's those smiley eyes of his.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you again. I was missing you. <BR/><BR/>Searching within: Hi. Welcome. Loved the peeing in the sandbox story. Apparently, little boys think alike. I'm sure that if I had a sandbox, he'd be doing the deed there too. Come to think of it, some of my ferns have been looking kind of weird lately, hmmm...Gypsy at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106152285952023602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530193990089670986.post-91486701269809475472008-05-05T08:55:00.000-05:002008-05-05T08:55:00.000-05:00Too funny.

One day I went to pick him up from day care, and the serious teacher came to me and proceeded to tell me how he had gotten in trouble that day, for peeing in the sand box. I burst into laughter, before I was able to stop myself. Before we were done, she was laughing too.searchingwithinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03890682204527957628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530193990089670986.post-46864606775160595112008-05-04T14:01:00.000-05:002008-05-04T14:01:00.000-05:00And yet I wouldn't care how much Jon Stewart did e...And yet I wouldn't care how much Jon Stewart did each of those things you described your boy doing, if he would just come and live with me and make me laugh every day. <BR/><BR/>That's how they reel us in, you know? With laughter, and all those endorphins. With kissing. (Just one long afternoon, Jon...)<BR/><BR/>Or with cash.

Your observations about the relative ineffectualness of trying to change what's innate comes at the right time for me.)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting Stewart on Letterman - priceless.ccehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867069792357056649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530193990089670986.post-19231421391091640412008-05-04T01:36:00.000-05:002008-05-04T01:36:00.000-05:00That was the most hilarious and lovely image that ...That was the most hilarious and lovely image that you painted of your little boy....now if you really want to embarass him someday, recite that story when he reaches the teen years and brings his girlfriend home to meet you for the first time....!suzanneelizabeths.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304462740451230118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530193990089670986.post-27920270195895112082008-05-03T13:45:00.000-05:002008-05-03T13:45:00.000-05:00i am never awake that late, so i am glad you poste...i am never awake that late, so i am glad you posted that jon stewart clip.<BR/>that was funny.<BR/>also, please please please...could you one day take a photo of Chesca Street?<BR/>I would love to post it on my blog.<BR/>Wait, that does not count as an act of hubris, does it?exskindiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116951497970094346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530193990089670986.post-42725761100855927482008-05-03T06:45:00.000-05:002008-05-03T06:45:00.000-05:00Hey, I know what you mean about those nasty habits...Hey, I know what you mean about those nasty habits hardwired into boys. But you know they're not exclusive to the male sex. The other day I caught my 21-month-old daughter with a naughty little grin on her face.
