(from my own wonderful mom)<br /><br />"Forgive yourself...again." (from my son's first teacher, herself a mother of 3)<br /><br />Thanks as always, Catherine, for the food for thought, along with the food for cooking!libramom1008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-37250632494985314522010-03-11T10:07:41.198-05:002010-03-11T10:07:41.198-05:00I was on here reading the comments...not going to ...I was on here reading the comments...not going to post one myself, just browsing per say. Then I noticed the word verification was "dingl". I just had to share why that is so special. My husband's nickname for me is dingle. Not very attractive, but it is said in love. Its a reference to my clumsiness and the cute way I "dingle" through things. I know its a little stupid but I like it. <br /><br />Isn't it amazing, the way we make up nicknames for ourselves and others? My children's nicknames are Beara (Cierra 6 yo), The Boy (Emanuel 5 yo) and Chicken (Alijah 1 yo). All made up for different reasons, but all done in love. Kinda like Birdy I guess :)<br /><br />And as usual, love your posts Catherine! :DTiffany A.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-15200822969132926772010-03-10T01:35:56.444-05:002010-03-10T01:35:56.444-05:00Aaagh!

Teafortwo--I did the same thing with my kids, and my oldest still asks for me to sing "the song from when I was a baby" every night before he goes to sleep.<br /><br />I don't know if you've read "Special Topics in Calamity Physics" but it is a beautifully written book by a first time author (!). The last 50 pages were slightly disappointing (the plot took an odd turn), but the writing was amazing!<br /><br />KatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-62758607887155707412010-03-05T15:54:29.930-05:002010-03-05T15:54:29.930-05:00I LOVED reading through all of the advice.

I made up new words to "You are my Sunshine" for my sons to include their names.

We *might* not have rolled them out the full 18 inches so they *might* look a bit more like pretzel-shaped rolls. Either way, we loved them!
