Baby Talk

A friend sent me a link to this company that specializes in "handcrafted birthing and breastfeeding dolls."  It's worth checking out the various available dolls.

A childhood friend relayed a story on her blog regarding the Birds and tthe Bees and her Boys.  It's definitely worth a read.

Yesterday as I cooked breakfast, Andrew was reading one of the many cans of paint sitting on the counter and informed me of the dangers.

     Andrew:  Paint can cause birth defects.
     Stephen:  Yeah, like a baby might be born without a head.

There are differing camps of thought; I'm not one to worry too much about that kind of thing.

     Andrew:  And paint can also cause other pregancy related problems.  It can cause the baby not to be born for another one or two months.

That, on the other hand, strikes fear in my heart.

From NPR:  In an interview for British TV, store founder Matt O'Connor says, "It's pure, it's natural, it's organic, and it's free range — and if it's good enough for our kids, it's good enough to use in our ice cream."

Too bad I had to dump a stash after the recent power outage.
