Andrea J. Buchanan: Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It
What every new mom needs. This is one of the books that I give at baby showers. It's so important for you to know that you are not alone.
Anne Lamott: Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son's First Year
You are not alone. Not all of us are content, happy, and glowing with new motherhood. Some of us are barely hanging on.
Jim Fay: Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years
I would be tearing my hair out if I didn't have the techniques taught in this book. This book has given me tools to teach and love my kids without losing my mind.
Adele Faber: Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too
Mandatory reading if you have sibling issues from way back or if you're on child #2. It seems like this book simply gives you common sense, but some of us need that help.
Hahahahah! Ahhh ... but had it previously been mouthed by a large, stupid dog?
I looked around yesterday to see my Lab/Dane cross out of the mud room and towering over my youngest (who looks shockingly like your E). Upon closer inspection I discoverd that the baby's ever-so-helpful sister had retrieved the nastiest, grossest, germiest dog squeeky toy from the mud room and given it to her.
She was chewing it happily (with accompanying little squeeky sounds), much to the distress of the dog.
Hey, it helps 'em build up immunities, right?

I laughed outloud when I saw the pic. And it doesn't surprise me at all! My twins love sloppy dog toys the best!

ok...ok... after I just read another "gross things in your kids mouths entry," I felt I HAD to tell you my story so you don't feel so bad...
When my E was about 16 months old (she will be 3 next week!) we went to watch my husband play softball. She was having THE BEST time playing in the dirt with some plastic cups (not filled with beer) when I noticed "something" in her mouth. upon asking her what was in her mouth she promptly showed me .....
A DIRTY,SOGGY CIGARRETTE BUTT!!!!!!!!! AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!
I thought I was going to die ( or slap one of the mothers telling me I should take her to the Hospital..she didn't swallow the damn thing!)I still get grossed out remembering it!
So, when E and L are chewing on dog toys, just think it could be worse!At least you know where your dogs have been!! teeheehee
I think she looks adorable whatever she is chewing on!
Good Luck!

Hahaha
A word of warning though - do you have any pigs ears around that your dog chews on? When Mikaela was about 4 months old - she somehow contracted Salmonella. She was completely breast-fed, so we were stumped.
I did some research - come to find out that those fucking pigs ears can carry salmonella. Wouldn't you know that she had grabbed onto one and tried to chew on it. It took a month for us to get it out of her system.
Needless to say - we only buy the bones for our dogs now!

E and L are going to have the best immune systems ever. And doggie breath.

Mmmmmm! No nasty tarter or bad breath, either! Lucy's so nice to share...

I used to have toys for the cats and toys for the boys, but now - It's a damn free for all. The cats love to beat up on stuffed animals and the babies walk around jingling little rattle balls and cat nip toys. A losing battle I tell ya. Hey--why won't yer blog remember my personal info in the comments section?
