Wow my first silly parent not illustrated…anyhoo…
Alan was going to give some watermelon to Isabelle to hold and eat. I told him to get a bib. Instead he cut holes in a Safeway plastic bag and used that. Not once but twice. She ripped the first one. I laughed so hard.
Go read Silly Parent #22, Baby Proofing.

NO that is an AWESOME IDEA!!! I am SOOO FREAKING doing THAT! Yes I am screaming sorry I am just so bowled over on what a fantastic idea that is.
Yes I still feed my 1 yr old because the bib is not enough…yes everyone thinks I am nuts…
Also - love that rug/mat thing can I ask what that is? We need something like that for the new play room.

Our mom bought this mat originally for Ebow, Kuky’s nephew to learn to crawl on. It was about $50 in San Francisco in a Korean store. Traditional Korean people sleep on mats laid on the heated floors. This is such a mat that Mom bought originally for Ebow, Kuky’s nephew to learn to crawl on. It was about $50 in San Francisco. It is pretty thick and comfy. And it has two very different and very cute patterns on each side. It is unlike mats you find at the gym, which are vinyl covered foam. This mat is soft vinyl through and through.

Finwe now wears just a diaper when he eats. Skin is easier to clean than clothes. I can’t use the plastic bag idea because the girls would attempt to do it and that could be disastrous.

I just called WaWa over to read this post! Then I forced him to read the post where Allen is catching food flying out of the toy. WaWa loved it. Then I showed him Allen’s photo and he did a double-take.
He said “He looks like a Bad Ass..” and shook his head in puzzlement. How to reconcile Allen’s (I never smile in these pictures) image to a dad who does crazy silly things….
My husband has decided that Allen is his new hero. It use to by Phil (HP’s husband) because he made puppets with his daughters. But now it’s Allen.

Oh no! Phill has lost his hero status! I’ve got to get him doing something to one up on Alan!
