Totally enjoying reading your thoughts here.<BR/><BR/>I think the equation goes something like this ... parents + children = sleeplessness!<BR/><BR/>Before our child came, I devoured (and still do) all the experts. Being a mindful parent who wishes to raise an excellent child is not easy. The experts conflict so much. I started researching on my own and observing my child, taking notes and trying to understand and verify.<BR/><BR/>What I have come to learn is sometimes soooo different from what the experts preach.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this funny, insightful post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-17129943088259377002007-08-06T07:31:00.000+08:002007-08-06T07:31:00.000+08:00"unending fascination with breasts"My fascination ..."unending fascination with breasts"<BR/>My fascination is still ongoing.. <BR/><BR/>You make it sound so glamorous puked on pooped on....

Your story about your neighbor is funny! I wonder how he would've reacted had you said what you wanted to say.

Your kids are in good company with mine. They are also obsessed with my breasts (and they tell everyone they met on the streets about my breasts too. J told our neighbour - a bachelor - the other day 'I saw my mummies breasts this morning!' The man didn't know what to do with himself (I almost added for short measure, 'Do you want to see them too?') All these little hands all over the place, clinging, clutching, pinching, feeling. <BR/><BR/>I was fairly finickety about snot, sick and pooh pre-motherhood. But now it is my way a life...once D was sick, which made J sick which made E sick (chain reaction)...which in itself was pretty awful. Now imagine all of them leaning over me in the passenger seat of the car while this is going on!<BR/><BR/>Sorry, you probably weren't after too much detail!<BR/><BR/>And yes, in spite of it all I wouldn't have it any other way either...<BR/><BR/>Lovely post Menchie!Pachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528082724529049971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-22632904117500392672007-08-01T15:10:00.000+08:002007-08-01T15:10:00.000+08:00Oh that's nice.

My children called my breasts "nurses" because breastfeeding is nursing. One day my friend and I took my three year old son to the mall. We passed by the window display of scantily clad manequins at Victoria's Secret. He stopped dead on his tracks looked up and gazed at the manequins and exclaimed "Wow! Look at those nurses!" My friend and I burst out laughing.Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15466387.post-38780779919626908152007-08-01T13:34:00.000+08:002007-08-01T13:34:00.000+08:00thats easily THE best post i have read in a long t...thats easily THE best post i have read in a long time... thanks for sharing ur motherhood infancy days... brought a tear to my eye... got reminded of a lotta things my mom did...
