I’m fairly ambitious, but sometimes I get into those lazy funks.

As a new parent, I’ve found that I’m constantly scouring books and the web for what’s normal. Should my daughter be doing this, or not doing that? How much exactly should she be eating? Should her #2 look like that? Is she developmentally on track? Is she normal?

Have you ever been out walking, noticed a dog, and stopped to play with it, and then realized you never once even looked at the owner in the eye? I did once, and when I looked back I saw look of disgust staring back at my blind eye.
A friend of mine came by a [...]

She has 300 bones. Yet no knee caps.
She can’t sit or stand on her own. Yet her thighs are becoming stronger than concrete.

“She is starting to realize that she can influence the world”
Don’t tell me she isn’t preparing for world domination here…
