LOL Some woman at Walmart this morning thinks I am the worst mom ever... We were walking down the aisle, with my daughter in the cart and my son hanging off of the side of it. Slightly distracted, I told him, "Get on the front of the cart so I don't smack you on the aisle." Lady at the corner of my eye gave me a double-take, like "Did you REALLY say that??" I then realized just what that sounded like, and said, "I don't want to bump you on the edge of the aisle, so get on the end of the cart..." LOL But the damage was probably already done, as she continued to walk down the aisle and probably didn't hear me correct myself. I REALLY didn't mean I was going to smack him, just that I didn't want him to smack into the shelves or the edge of the aisle... *blush*

We took our 3 year old to see Wall-E today at Edwards Cinema at the Marketplace. It was the first time he has been to a movie in the movie theater, and he did SO WELL! He has been talking about wanting to see Wall-E, so we had my parents come over to watch our daughter, and took our son out to lunch at Que Pasa (he had a fish taco) and to a movie. He sat on the little booster seat they have available, and sat quietly (for the most part) for the entire movie! He was so cute! While we were waiting for the movie to start, he would point to people coming in and say "That girl is going to see Wall-E too!" The movie proved to be a bit over his head, but I think he still enjoyed it. :) My husband got a bit of a nap, and I felt like I needed one afterwards, but all in all it was a great experience!

Gosh, it seems like any little thing can get me all sentimental lately.

It wasn’t even the content of the program on my son’s 8-year-old Blue’s Clues VHS. It was the commercials at the beginning. The cute little preschoolers hamming it up before the show started. They were preschoolers eight years ago, but today would be 11 or 12. The lesson: time flies quickly when you have kids. Eight years seem like not that big of a deal to me—I was just graduating from college eight years ago. It doesn’t seem like such a long time, but with kids it will be. So much will change over eight years. I must cherish and savor every day with my young ones. It will be no time before they’re all grown up.

I'm looking for a dentist that can check my kids' teeth. Anyone have any suggestions?

My daughter is still rear-facing at 17 months. She is petite, not quite 20 pounds yet, but she will continue to ride in the carseat rear-facing until she reaches the maximum height or weight limit for rear-facing in her seat. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that it is best for a child to sit rear-facing for as long as possible. This video explains why. (P.S. It's not gruesome or scary--just gives some good information).
