How Nap Time Works

First, you put the baby down in its crib for some rest. Nap time can begin.

Then the baby decides it is hungry. So you mix a bottle of formula or prepare some milk.

You feed the baby. The baby falls asleep while eating and NOW nap time can begin.

But wait. What is that smell?

You carefully try to change the baby without waking it up. The baby wakes up.

The baby has more room and is hungry again. You feed the baby again.

The baby is asleep. Nap time can FINALLY begin.

Except now you realize the three-year-old is not napping due to all the noise from the baby.

So it goes...

The Poky Little Puppy

Sometimes Jupiter likes to read the classic Golden Book tale, The Poky Little Puppy before bed or nap time.

Then along comes the poky puppy after everyone is asleep. He is met with no dinner but left over dessert, since the four puppies were not able to eat it. This scenario takes

Kid on a Leash

Has anyone seen these kid leash products around? Sometimes I see them at the zoo, farmers market, or other crowded areas. If a company can make a product that will make a parent feel a little bit safer, there will always be people out there to buy it. When I see one, it reminds me of that scene in Rise of the Planet of the Apes when a leashed Caesar sees a dog on a leash and turns to Will and signs, "Am I a pet?" The idea of the product is that it will keep the child safe and nearby. It is designed to subside the fear that a child will run off or get abducted. I think that if someone is out to abduct a child during the few seconds when a parent is looking away, a leash is a very small deterrent, and likely, not effective. All the abductor would need is a nice pair of scissors or simply their fingers. The latch cannot be that hard to work. If anything, having a leash might give a parent a false sense of security causing them to pay less attention to the child. In that case it
