Battle

In order to seek vengeance against me for limitations placed on Thomas the Train viewing, my son opened several drawers in the kitchen.

Gasp!

He looked at me, chin raised in defiance.

"What do you think of that, Mom?"

"I don't really like it," I said, trying to keep my cool.

And then, in a moment of pure rebellion, he pushed the first drawer shut with all his might. He cringed, waiting for the satisfaction of the slam. However, the previous owners of this house purchased drawers that close in a slow and controlled fashion (there is a commercial with a couple fighting and trying to slam drawers). He slammed four drawers and cringed every time, but each time the drawer closed silently.

He sighed and went to play with trucks. Triumph.

  1. Sorry to post a comment here, but not able to elsewhere. Commenting on "Making Brainy Baby in Natural Life Magazine".

    I was reading Andrea Cameron's article on this subject and must point out her error. Please se the following link.
    http://www.brainybaby.com/news.php

    Unfortunately, Andrea and many other bloggers and media professionals have got the information wrong about Brainy Baby. I really wish they get the correct information before they make false statements and mislead many parents.

    Parents have not been "duped" by Brainy Baby products, which has been scientifically studied and peer reviewed twice. Furthermore, the AAP is considering revising their media policy for children under the age of two because of this research.

    This information is readily available to the public, but is largely ignored by the media (I guess good news doesn't sell as well). There are DVD products that are rich in educational content and these products can have a very positive benefit on children under the age of two. Brainy Baby is clearly one of those products and the only one that is scientifically and University tested.
