Web Comic: Window watching

Our 2 1/2 yr old son actually said this when some birds were pecking around our yard the other week. I think they found some old cat litter in reality, who knew birds eat cat litter right, but it is this wheat based stuff so I think they actually do. Anyway, our son thinks birds eat rocks. So after a little bit of explaining he still thinks birds eat rocks. There is just something to what you think you are seeing being more believable than birds eating cat litter I guess.

Web Comic: Moon

I really did feel just this roly poly by the end of our second pregnancy. Getting out of bed or up from sitting on the floor to play with our toddler took a major feat. That is one thing I don't think the movies exaggerate. It does feel good to be back in my old body where I can jump from the front to the backseat of the car in one easy step and I don't block whole hallways in our house. Still it was a fun time because you are never more aware of another whole person growing inside you as at the final weeks.

Web Comic: The value of the sexes

Web Comic: Super Hero in Training

Since our son was around 1 1/2 he has been climbing on and jumping off everything higher than 2 feet in the house. I know it is probably exciting for him but it just makes us cringe every time he tries to climb something new. Our floor is covered in cushions just so he has some padding. I wonder how much it would cost to replace the floor with a giant trampoline ...

Web Comic: Why Mom's are always cleaning

You would think the fact that one or both of us is home most of the time with our son that our house would be pretty clean but, it is creative projects and "games" like this that seem to keep that goal far, far away. One time I came home a little early to find them scrambling around and our son saying "gotta clean up, Mom's coming home" and he is only 2. You can just imagine how the rest of our house looks most of the time. I no longer judge people by how clean their house is. I realize now that there are forces much stronger than the most compulsive OCD cleaner, they are called kids, and Dads.

Web comic: Bathroom flasher

I think this happens every time I take our son with me into a public restroom. So far he hasn't gotten the door further than unlocking it but I am just waiting for that day at Starbucks where he opens the door to flash me stumbling after him in a very un-presentable state for the whole room full of coffee sipping customers.

Web Comic: Pregnant lady in her underwear?

And yes, this is a comic of a pregnant lady in her underwear. I am not going to admit to it being me, I didn't even know Ken was going to draw this one. I guess this is his perspective on seeing me, I mean ladies, dealing with the changes their bodies undergo during pregnancy. Although, I will admit I can only fit into one of my pairs of jeans with the zipper even halfway up and the button held together with a pony-tail holder. It really is that point when you have to admit that you have to consider other clothing options, although I still haven't bought any official "maternity clothes." I did buy a couple of pairs of cargo pants with a stretchy waist. I plan to spend the spring in skirts, that seems to work best and I won't mourn the money spent on clothes that I can only wear for a short while. Or maybe I am just a stubborn red head. That is probably it.

Web Comic: Mom initiation

Ok so the bug wasn't quite this big but this did happen, and it was a lot earlier than I thought it would. Our son was probably around 18 months and we were in the back yard and he put his hand up to give me something which I didn't even question and then I saw it was a little slimy bug. I can tell this is only the beginning ...

Web Comic: Accidental Exposure

I love that he drew the coffee cup balancing on her boob. Well, this never actually happened, at least not in public. I was pretty shy about nursing in public and always had a cover but was a little more open in the backyard. There was a bee incident once, I have to say, and I was a little worried about the neighbors but really, it was not quite as exciting as this strip. It must have made more of an impression on Ken than on me.

Web Comic: Cell phones and Men

Hey all you men, this isn't a joke. Well, it is but, it is sort of true too. I read somewhere that men should not keep their cell phones in their pants because some scientists somewhere  found that it could have an effect on sperm (http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/09/18/cellphone.sperm/). You know, men really pay attention when you mention a product having a potential effect on maleness. He wouldn't eat flax seed for a while when I told him what can happen when men eat too much, since it acts a bit like an estrogen. And then there's the soy conversation ...
