HONEY GETS MORE THAN LEMON

The above link is to a post about the new campaign the AAP has in store for parents who choose not to vaccinate. They are like bullies on the playground for F's sake. I mean really, this person hits it right on the head.

Anyway, the kids are taking a nap so I'm sure to be up late tonight with them. G will want to be awake till at least 11pm. We went to Winward beach today with Joan and Joanie and had a really good time. We went close to noon though, so I know it was a lot of sun for them. We had no umbrella, so I slathered them in sunblock, kept her hat and little outfit on and left after about an hour and a half. I nursed her under a towel a couple of times, but I just don't know how much sun is too much for such a little one and so I didn't want it to sneak up on her.

G had a good time with his buckets and sand and Grandma taking him into the water up to his knees. Winward is really the river, not the ocean, so there are no really big waves there. That's better for the little boy. He would have gotten really nervous with the waves and probably not even want to put his feet in.

I brought my camera, but didn't take it out of my bag. I did this on purpous once I got there because I have broken 2 cameras on beaches (one on my honeymoon!) because they got sand in them. I hated not to take pictures of the kids today, but if I want anymore pictures this summer, I have to keep the camera working.

We brought them to the mall yesterday and when we were getting into the car getting ready to leave Jasper was strapping G into his seat in the back. G looks up at the overhead light (as always) and feels like he wants the light on because it's getting dark outside. The usual conversation goes like this. "Mommy, keep the light on." I say "No, we can't drive with the light on at night. It's against the law. It distracts other drivers and the police men don't like it. If Mommy gets pulled over, she'll get in trouble. We have to leave the light off" and that's the end of it. He does ask pretty much every time though.

Yesterday however, he looked up at the light and said this instead "Mommy, when we see a cop, we'll turn the light off and when we drive past him we can turn it back on again."

Oh yes he did.

Could you even?

The little bugger.

Boy am I in trouble.
