She Keeps Me Laughing...

One of the great things about going to the library more is that I've discovered they have a great number of exercise videos. This week I checked out a yoga video, and to my surprise, the Mermaid jumped right into it as well!

Also, today we were sitting at the table drawing pictures, when I remembered how Jack Newman told a story at the La Leche League conference to illustrate how deep our bottle-feeding culture influences children. He told of a mother who asked her six year old daughter to draw a picture of a mother feeding her baby. This girl had never been given a bottle, and has watched her mother breastfeed her baby brother countless times, and her baby brother had never been given a bottle, either. So what did her picture show? A mother giving a baby a bottle :o/

Curious, I asked the Mermaid to do the same thing; to draw me a picture of a mother feeding her baby. This is what she drew:

There is no bottle present. She drew a picture of a mother giving "na nas" to her baby. *tear*

This girl keeps me laughing every day, even in my darkest moments.
