I would never want my girls to have those same kinds of self-esteem issues it's taken me years to overcome.

I can't believe how fast time has flown since the Dude was an infant. I always liked that picture as well.purplelarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14490307905539488944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-13789492112658390802009-04-14T07:40:00.000-05:002009-04-14T07:40:00.000-05:00Great post!!

Although if you asked my husband I'm sure he would say it was like being housed with Sybil.

PG has a theory that the harder you fight against being something, the more you are drawn to being it. Who knows, I don't have kids so I guess I'll never know. I'm very patient with my cats. Oh, but this isn't about me is it? <br /><br />First apartments of our own - I also have a very fond feeling about my first solo apt, which was $375 in 1990.

I think I've mentioned before that my ex is Chinese-American, and that they have a tradition in their culture of keeping the baby in the house for a month (probably a good one-- waiting until the mother has transferred a lot of her immunities through her milk to them). Then you have a big party with good food, including hard-boiled eggs dyed red, both families and booze. <br /><br />A few years back, Adam looked at that picture and asked why he was scared. I resisted the temptation to tell him that it was because he was being held by a guy who'd had a few drinks.Johnny Yenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06561248220244037567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33543511.post-87406419819804478232009-04-13T21:00:00.000-05:002009-04-13T21:00:00.000-05:00A beautiful post JY, and what a great picture of y...A beautiful post JY, and what a great picture of you and Adam!SkylersDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18264164502733912326noreply@blogger.com
