The Mean Step-sister One

Our oldest daughter is into princesses, so it is not surprising when she talks about princesses.  One evening she came down stairs and said: "This is my mean step-sister one", referring to her nightgown.  What she meant by that was that it didn't twirl as much as some of her other ones.

Weeblock

This is hilarious.  I didn't realize that being peed on while changing a diaper was such a problem.  The Weeblock is supposed to prevent this problem.

Tiny Tots

We have decided to use a diaper service for our little girl.  We are using Tiny Tots diaper service.  In addition to not having a bunch of diapers ending up in the landfill, I am hoping that this will save a little money, as we will not need as large of a garbage can.

The only thing is that we need to make sure that her pants are loose enough to fit the larger diaper. 

Bad day

Sometimes I feel like this at work:

Volume control for toys

I think that there should be a requirement that any child's toy that produces sounds electronically should have volume controls.  You could say that it is to protect children's hearing, but in reality it is protect parental sanity.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Tonight, I took our son to Walking With Dinosaurs.  We had a blast.  I would recommend that anyone who has a child over 5 take them to see it.

Retail parenting?

This is a interesting article about how Target is not selling Manhunt 2, becuase it is possible for some one to modifiy some code (a config file I assume) and reburn the disk, and then be able to get access to some filtered content.

I don't know why Target is bothering with doing this. I will parent my kids, and don't need some store to do this for me.
