I think EXPECTATIONS is a dirty word. I call it the
'E" word. I try not to have them and to live in the
now, not prejudging and not living for some future
fantasy.

Oh, and my older son was running at 8 months (he
skipped walking). My younger son was walking, very
cautiously, at 15 months. They are very different
people.

Thanks for this Jessica. I completely agree.

<<<<And because she's kid of an Anglophile,

American.

She can be an irritating kid. <g>

We'd get along great!
I kept picking apart the Americanized Harry Potter
books.
We just finished reading Mr. Potter's Pet by Dick
King-Smith and for some bizarre reason they changed
mum to mom in the book, but everything else in the
book remained British (like the money being in pounds
for example).
Okay, I'll stop being irritating now <g>.
