and yes, that is my kid face-planted on his mat, compliments of the exhausting efforts of Tummy Time. I’ve already gotten up 10 times to turn his face to the left or right, but he keeps moving it to a full on make-out session with the printed monkey. Also, please note the canine passed out [...]

I’m doing this & thus opening myself to cheers, jeers, & cyber-”I-told-you-so’s.” & so we begin what will undoubtedly be the next few years of Blair’s “Never Have I Ever.” Pre-parenting motto: “I will NEVER co-sleep with my child!” Exhibit [...]
