Natalie tagged any and all of her readers to do this little questionnaire she found in Real Simple magazine. Since it's not Wednesday anymore, I can't very well leave "Wordless Wednesday" up on my blog! Heavens! So here goes:
* Bath or shower? I shower, for time's sake, but whenever I'm giving my kids a nice warm tubby, I'm very tempted to hop in with them, or go start one for myself. I always tell Audrey, as she whines during conditioner time, "I would LOVE for someone to wash my hair in the tub! You're so lucky!" She doesn't buy it.
* What did you want to be when you were little? I think I wanted to be a teacher, but then, I went to college, grew up a bit, and realized I totally don't have that in me.
* What's the one thing you'll never understand? Men. Just kidding, they're so transparent. :) I don't understand lots of things, like, for example, polygamy. But I've also never understood why grown people would start smoking. Or why mature, intelligent people still think it's fun to get drunk.
* What surprises you most about your adult life? That I still feel like I'm very young and have so much still to learn, even though I'm almost 30. And that I have experienced the miracle of having a baby three times.
* What's your idea of the perfect meal? I'm gonna break it down into meals like Natalie did:
Breakfast--hot chocolate (the real kind made with milk and real chocolate), fresh squeezed orange juice, pain au chocolat, and eggs scrambled with a bit of sharp cheddar cheese, heavy on the black pepper.
Lunch--a really, really good deli sandwich, turkey with everything on it, something crunchy on the side, and lemonade
Dinner--Chips and salsa, a nice, tall virgin strawberry drink, and really good fajitas with homemade tortillas. Ice cream on the way home.
* What's the craziest fashion trend or hairstyle you've worn? Big bangs in fourth grade. And, due to my very strong Fish cowlick, I can't really have bangs, so, looking back, I don't know how I did that.
* What amount of money would make you feel you were set for life? How about 20 mil, wisely invested.
* If you could change careers now without any consequences or financial loss, what would you switch to? I'm changing this question to "if I could start a career," which of course, I won't be doing for a long time yet, if ever. Anyway, I would be a travel writer. And Neal would come with me.
* The big decision I'm currently wrestling with is... how in the world am I going to get Miles to fall asleep on his own and stop waking up 4 times a night, since he won't take a binky, and I'm a total wuss and can't let him cry. Speaking of, I'm off to take a nap.

have you read elizabeth pantley's "no cry sleep solution"?? it is the book for your last question - I read it last week and so far so good at our house with sleeping...
see, now wasn't that loads of fun? :D
I read the No Cry Sleep Solution (and every other sleep book too). It was good, but didn't work for Mia. Check this out, "The Sleep Lady's Gentle Guide..." http://www.amazon.com/Good-Night-Sleep-Tight-Helping/dp/1593153562/sr=8-2/qid=1169757425/ref=pd_bbs_2/105-9289675-3013261?ie=UTF8&s=books
We did this with Mia (although she was older) and it worked great. I could not do the cry thing either (and Mia would throw up if she cried too hard).
thanks for the tips, girls. you would think with my third kid, i've have a system or something (beyond the swaddling, shooshing, white noise system). he does okay, night to night is different, though. bottom line is, he loves loves nursing. with the other two, we ended up letting them cry about 7-8 months. they end up being fine by a year, it's just this first year i hate. miles is just too sweet to cry. :)
i have a baby that is addicted to nursing too. he loves it like i love ice cream. we both need to be weaned a bit.
okay this isn't about getting babies to sleep (that seems to be the thing to comment on today) but i have to say that i agree with you: it would be fantastic to have someone wash my hair every day!
