Boys seem to have trouble with multitasking.<br /><br />Also, do you read the blog &quot;Like Mother, Like Daughter?&quot; I&#39;m pretty sure they are Catholic and are very reassuring on the issue of have I permanently scarred my child by doing things that were considered totally ok 50 years ago but are now viewed as anathema (re: books and the like, not things like beating your child)Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09963493181798474313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360321.post-47546139034246539642011-08-05T10:41:49.739-05:002011-08-05T10:41:49.739-05:00I&#39;m so in love with the fact that you exposed your kids to Beowulf already. I had to wait til 9th grade. <br /><br />The drawing is fantastic.lindahttp://linda.curious-notions.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360321.post-25287521493879562732011-08-05T10:14:05.542-05:002011-08-05T10:14:05.542-05:00This year was the Year of the Great Pestilence for us, too. It began in February for us, with Dom&#39;s two ear infections followed by ear tube and adenoid surgery; everyone had colds running in circles (one round, then another, then another, with barely three days between),I had a broncial thing for 5 weeks (I still lose my voice if I shout--a blessing and not a curse, methinks) then Gemma with her horrible April illness and ongoing dermatological problems, and so on and so forth. It has only let up somewhat recently.<br /><br />It never rains, but it pours...<br /><br />Personally, I love the gruesome drawing. Why wouldn&#39;t that most vivid of scenes not capture the imagination. Heck, it is pretty much all I recall of the Beowulf story myself!<br /><br />I&#39;ll say a prayer that your pestilence comes to an end. God bless you all!Nadjahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11092566609789390592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360321.post-1174769953145535982011-08-05T10:09:12.830-05:002011-08-05T10:09:12.830-05:00My daughter had way more potty accidents than my son, but on a positive note, when they left for college, it was all good:) good luck, I always say I failed potty training in regards to my kids.deannahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07393591556915882130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360321.post-50731380350706070942011-08-05T09:59:13.099-05:002011-08-05T09:59:13.099-05:00came looking for pics of the one-year-old; leaving disappointed :)Andyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05179125932315215997noreply@blogger.com
