That's a nice action (and a good photo) but I'd rather see the resources diverted to VA. Go and help people like Buster fix his sink, and make sure Big Sarge's meds arrive on time.

Thank you, though.

There's actually enough coin in this country to do both, it's just that bailouts and corporate welfare don't come cheap, so someone has to pay.

I can't disagree with you, Zen. There is a lot of need out there. An individual volunteer, or even charitable organization, can't do it all. In fact, I think if you look at all the need out there and try to detrmine the best place to help out, you can become overwhelmed and not help at all. But when little opportunities like this come up, it's worthwhile to join in. Like Clodfobble's decorated highway, this will lift the spirits of the people who see it, and it gets my kid in the habit of helping out. And it's a small enough job that you can see what you accomplished. It's also the kind of thing a kid can do.

I don't think you need to defend what you did, Glatt. As I said, we have the resources in this country to do both, that was what you could do and made sense for you to do. It's important to honor the dead AND take care of the living.

They were taking photos at Minifobette's therapy clinic for a little Christmas ornament craft. To get a natural smile on each kid, they were being silly and making faces. Except Minifobette is keenly aware that therapy is serious business and she is 100% compliant. So she promptly did what she thought she was being told to do.

[grossly ignorant] Isn't Beans a little young for solids yet? [/GI]

Chocolatl · 01-08-2013, 08:05 PM

Zen -- I thought so, too, but turns out babies are okay to start thin solids between 4 and 6 months. (I'd always heard 6 as the start.) Beans is 4.5 months old, now, and at her check up today the pediatrician told us to get started. A few teaspoons once a day to help her body get used to digesting something other than milk. It's also cereal formulated for babies -- like instant mashed potatoes, very smooth.

V -- We'll try rice tomorrow -- hopefully that'll go over a little better. She's 1/4 Asian and 1/4 Hispanic, so she should be genetically predisposed to like rice...

Aliantha · 01-09-2013, 05:50 AM

I have been trying eva on a few solids over the last couple of weeks. So far no interest at all. Maybe next week. Yes, she is only just hitting 4 months, so no big deal. Just giving her an option. One day she will change her mind. Till then she's happy with her bottle.

Choco, did beans cut a tooth yet? I dont think eva is too far off it. Shes been chewing everything in sight. lol
