Letter from the editor

Halloween is around the corner, in case the cobwebs on the site and interesting array of spooky handles did not give it away. I've been undecided as to what to costume my one year old in. Last year she was only a couple of weeks old, so we skipped Halloween! This will be her first celebration. I have been browsing through magazines and ebay for weeks and have considered numerous lady bug, bumble bee, princess and pumpkin costumes. While looking at flower costumes, something caught my eye. It was a flower of a different kind - the skunk variety! There was a Flower costume on ebay! Flower is the skunk from Bambi, if you are not familiar. It was the cutest and funniest thing I'd seen so far! I knew then that my "little stinker" would have to be subjected to this.

I can hear it now, when she's 16 and bringing home dates. I'll drag out the baby photos and show off Zoe in her skunk costume and talk about stinky diapers. I think she'll really appreciate me in her latter years. What do you think? *Bigsmile*

Have a fun and safe Halloween!

Ask & Answer

How well I can empathize, Sherri. When my middle child, my older son, was just about eight or nine months old, and crawling, I found him sitting in the middle of the living room one day. His back was to me, and when I walked around so that he faced me, I nearly passed out. Sticking out of his mouth was part of a large black spider. I asked him to "give it to Mommy, Bobby," and he pulled it out and handed it to me. He had found a plastic spider, goodness knows where. Thankfully I didn't have to dig anything out of his mouth. Funny now, but not then. ~~ Viv


*Laugh* {/c:blue}That would have given anyone quite a scare!

Oh, heavens! There's never an end to comedy where parenting is concerned! It helps the survival of the species, you know- if they weren't so dang funny, we'd kill 'em!
Your bug story sounded too familiar- my own daughter, Becca, was infamous for the time as an infant she was sitting on the ground while I hung laundry on the line. I looked down, in abject horror, at my sweet one year old pulling a big earthworm, segments making what for her must have been a delightful sound, popping one by one between her lips. That was the same week I caught her on her stomach in front of her older sister on the potty chair, licking her spilled grape juice off the bathroom floor. Help!


Children like yours go on to become the authors that write such books as "How to Eat Fried Worms!"

Hi Sherri. Can't recall my kids chomping on bugs, but I DO recall those ominous periods of silence that announced that something untoward was afoot. - Both of mine engaged in creative artwork on their cribs (and themselves) after managing to get their diapers loose after a nap. I should have learned my lesson with the first one, but with several years between them, I'd forgotten the value of 'onesies' in keeping diapers in place! -z-


EW!!! And I thought my story was bad!

Sherri, or is it Bird, now? LOL. Kids crack me up. Your newsletter fractured me. Excuse me while I pick up the pieces *Laugh*


Thanks Bill!!

Lol! A relative once vividly described hearing her son crunching on something, when she knew full well he only had soft food on his plate. She turned and looked, to see the toddler with a half eaten cockroach in his hand. If you've ever been to Queensland, we have some of the biggest cockroaches - the toddler was happily chewing away on his soft-centred treat. His mother did the same as you, trying to get the offending creature out of her son's mouth, all the time trying desperately to hold in her meal.
Thanks for the entertaining read, and the great choices in stories.
