32 and Pregnant

Having gone through this recently, I can relate.

Teachers talk about your kids

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week, and Jimmy Kimmel’s gift to educators across the country was an opportunity to give their students’ parents a piece of their minds.

The May issue of TIME

The latest cover of TIME Magazine has stirred a debate among mothers on how to parent. It has also likely been stolen from Mom by countless 13 year-old boys in America who will severely crinkled it. The topic discussed is one I had not heard of before – “Attachment parenting.” Attachment parenting has been on the rise over the last two decades, since the publication of The Baby Book by Dr. Bill Sears and his wife, Martha, in 1992. Its three main tenets are extended breast-feeding, co-sleeping and “baby wearing,” in which infants are physically attached to their parents by slings.

The most controversial activity appears to be extended breastfeeding. Some mothers are breastfeeding kids way past the age where society says it’s okay. As a soon-to-be parent, I am curious to see what all of you think about this? How old is too old? What about some of these other topics? Oh, and should we feed our baby like Alicia Silverstone does? Only kidding.

Peter Alsop: Master Creepster of Children Songs

Kids can be surprisingly morbid. It’s really only natural; ask any parent, and they’ll tell you stories of their kids asking about dying. I am not sure we should be composing cute Raffi-like songs about death though either. That hasn’t stopped Peter Alsop from writing a one of the creepiest kid songs ever. The video is a bit disheartening too. The little ginger boy will haunt me tonight.

Peter Alsop is a creepmaster of other songs too. His other CDs include songs like “Don’t Put Your Hand In My Pants”, “My Brother Threw Up On My Stuffed Toy Bunny” and “Poop Goes The Weasel” (we assure you: that last was not a typo).

Alicia Silverstone spitting food in her baby’s mouth

Alicia Silverstone literally chews up food and spits it into the mouth of her two-year old as a way of feeding him. I will never watch the Aerosmith video Cryin’ the same way again. Let’s hope Alicia Silverstone doesn’t throw her baby out of a tree to teach him to fly.

From Silverstone’s blog: The Kind Life:

I just had a delicious breakfast of miso soup, collards and radish steamed and drizzled with flax oil, cast iron mochi with nori wrapped outside, and some grated daikon. Yum! I fed Bear the mochi and a tiny bit of veggies from the soup…from my mouth to his. It’s his favorite…and mine. He literally crawls across the room to attack my mouth if I’m eating. This video was taken about a month or 2 ago when he was a bit wobbly. Now he is grabbing my mouth to get the food!

A 4th grader’s first ski jump

Learning ski jumping takes courage, and this 4th grader has what it takes. The fear of facing something scary and then forcing yourself to push through plays out in this video. You can hear the excitement in this kids voice at then end. Challenge accepted. Life lesson learned. Confidence boosted. Awesome.
