How Did We Live Before the Internet?

Do you ever ask yourself that question? Ten years ago, I don't remember email being a big thing at all. Even looking over my high school yearbook, not one person put in an email address to keep in touch with (although one did include his pager number!) And as a freshman in college, I remember hand writing out papers before I got a computer of my own!

Now, I'm on the computer at least twice a day. I am taking a class online this semester. I'd say I receive about half of my news information from the net, about half from the TV, and a bit from NPR on the radio (if we happen to drive around that day and T is in a good mood). So look at all the cool stuff I can read about!

Here's an article from the New York Times website. It is about Harvey Karp's new endeavors with toddler behavior.

We really enjoyed his insight for infant soothing and it worked well when Trenton was a baby. I've read a bit about his 'caveman approach' and although I haven't tried it out yet, it seems a bit more far-fetched than what I'm used to. We'll see!

The second one was sent to me from my cousin via her moms group. It shows a clip from the seventies Sesame Street. In it, Big Bird is asking a mother about nursing her baby. It was interesting to read some of the comments left on the page. Could something like this fly on PBS nowadays? Probably not. But I do think that mothers nursing babies is on the rise again.

And finally, if you haven't seen it already, here's one of Trenton's favorites. The fact that he gets the joke is hysterical. Shows how smart he really is ;)

Have a great day! We are off to take pictures at the mall. He has a bit of a runny nose (same thing when we did this last year!) but is willing to use a tissue, thankfully.
