My only advice on picky eating is to not make a big deal and keep offering a variety of healthy foods (and modeling it yourselves). I have one picky eater and one who eats anything and everything (she's now 6 & the other day a man gave her a flower when she was crying & she asked me if she could eat it!!). <br /><br />But what I really came on her to comment on was Mo & the neighbor's cat. I just finished reading Beverly Cleary's book "Socks" to my kids. Mo is young for it, but you might enjoy it. It's about a cat who is adopted by a loving young couple who then have a baby, told from the cat's point of view. We just finished it tonight & the last chapter is a great reconciliation between the cat and baby, now 10 months. If you have time. :-)Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409880189902727685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168799841998271534.post-38308475733538869352017-11-18T22:14:00.783+00:002017-11-18T22:14:00.783+00:00First world problem.

It’s impossible to keep a secret when a few weeks later everyone will eventually find out. First he has to act like he doesn’t know, then he does. Just tell everyone at once. He might have only known cause of his recent birthday. Extra something to be grateful for. I can’t believe how outraged people are.

There is no DNA on Harvey but a lot of papertrail with his contract and law suits. Like President Clinton he controlled their job and careers. Harvey signed into rehab. Trump talked trash, apologized for talking trash and nothihg more has been admitted or proven. Apparantly he was right that this is how hollywood talked years ago. Look what they are doing for pity sakes. Monica hashtagged me too and got blasted for it.<br /><br />In the 90’s it was not uncommon for a boss or coworker to hit on you. If you said stop and it stopped with no work consequences for declining all was well. They were jerks. Some of the very many allegations against many individuals are along these lines. There is almost too many people accussed at the moment to even believe it all. It seems a great easy way impossible to prove to bring someone down. I think we have greatly improved as a society to know none of this should have ever been fine to talk or act that way. Clinton did it a long time ago, his wife was fine with it in public anyway, and she 20. No one cared she was an intern and they did it in the peoples house. He was not tried for sexual harassment but for lying about it.

That is a real papertrail. But it is odd suddenly many are guilty without any lawsuit or conviction and expected to step down. Some actors and politicians have denied allegations. The consequence for sexual misconduct should be prison and not job related. Can not work from prison though. <br /><br />There is an accuser of Clinton who says it was forced. But no convicton. Monica got some backlash for her me too contribution. It is harassment when your boss or someone in authority makes a sexual advance at you married or not. It is what harvey did. He controlled their career and job. This is why it is a problem. Clinton made it fit for the presidency to be married and in the WH to hit on and go further with interns young enought to be his daughter literally in the oval office. You can even lie about it. This world is not fair, to answer your question. <br /><br />Pence was teased for going to great lengths not to be alone with any woman. Brilliant. The world should be more like this.

You mentioned some time ago that it was hard in London to find close friends. But young women with young children probably have time and similar wishes on how to spend time. Most of my "old" friends work, so it was great I had a few new Mum-friends after I had a baby.<br />- In one episode of HIMYM it was said that the same act by two different persons can be percieved very differently depending on whether you're attracted to the person. So yes, it's a TV show but I kind of believe it. Even if someone wasn't attracted to Trump in a sexual way, a voter was attracted and so the grabbing and bragging wasn't as bad. Same goes for Clinton of course (though wasn't it consenting with Monica L.?).<br />- I think you love daylight saving time! DST is during summer.

Although I was thankful the baby ended up being fine, it took me a little bit to get over the disappointment of not being able to announce it myself and when I wanted. He's almost five now, and I haven't even thought about the incident in years (until this post made me think of it). I think when you are dealing with pregnancy hormones though, everything seems even worse and more dramatic. I love this blog. Thank you for being so real and genuine. I find it so uplifting, and find your honesty about life not being absolutely perfect so refreshing. I hope you are feeling well!
