Do you know...

Do I?

Amazing Mom

Erik's parent's sent me a Mother's Day card from our kids, it was one of those singing cards and it sang something like, "Amazing Mom how great you are...."

Jotham opened it up, listened to it and with the greatest excitement said, "Mom it says A Lazy Mom..."

Happy Mother's Day to me.

Prodigal Daughter

This is so powerful.

Babies

There is a new documentary out called Babies. It follows 4 different babies from 4 different parts of the world from birth to age 1. I was really looking forward to seeing it. Tonight Erik planned to take me. Well..... viewer beware! Even though the movie is rated PG it contains pretty extensive non-sexual nudity. Mostly of the breastfeeding nature but this is not like the, "Oh that woman over there is feeding her child and I sort of can see something if I look down." kind of nudity. It is more the here is closeup of a breast (the entire thing) from every possible angle and here is another closeup of a breast from another angle.

Anyway, I leave you to your own convictions on this matter but just wanted to warn you in case you were as unaware of us. And though I don't really know what happens after about 15 minutes into the movie, I am going to make the assumption that the trend continues because in many cultures women breastfeed their children for a LONG time (as was shown in the sibling nursing scene).
