Interesting things of note this weekend

1) When did children's songs get whitewashed?  Listening to "Three Blind Mice" on one of our CD's, the lyrics said "they all ran after the farmer's wife/who cut them some cheese with a carving knife."  Isn't the original, "who cut off their tails with a carving knife"?  At least that's what I remember from my own childhood.

2) I've been in jeans and sweatshirts, my natural state, for too long.  Between bedrest and maternity leave, it's been five months since I've dressed up professionally for work.  My first day back is tomorrow, and when I did a "trial run" today and put on my jewelry, one of my earring holes had half-closed up!

3) Connor won't take a bottle.  It's freaking us out.  Any suggestions?

4) Rain, rain, come down.  It's great for California's drought, but bad for our backyard because we were going to sweep up all the sand from the sandbox this weekend.  Now we just have mud.

5) Robin can put anyone to sleep.  See below for proof!

  1. Zara won't take a bottle either! We're not much help since we haven't figured it out yet but we've just been trying lots of different bottles and hoping she finds one she likes....Good luck!

    1. Thanks! If you find one please do pass along the name. We're going to try Nuk tomorrow, he still won't take anything from the medela, avent or Tommie tipple bottles.

  2. Julian wouldn't take a bottle either. It eventually got to the point that he would take a bottle, but only an ounce or two to hold him over until I got home. Kaya was much nicer about it, although she came to work with me so it wasn't as much of an issue. Is there any way he can be brought to your work for nursing breaks?

    1. Jonathan has been doing it, but it's not sustainable. He won't even take an ounce. And then he nurses all night to make up for it. Arg!
