Um, what don’t you guys know about me? Let’s see...
When I was a kid, one of my favorite places to play was the railroad tracks a block away from my house. There was a short railroad bridge (that big trucks used to run into about once a month, because they ignored the ‘low bridge’ signs; now there are better signs and it doesn’t happen as much) right next to a small wooded area with dirt bike trails that we’d ride and run around on.
I’m one of those hippie granola* moms who cloth-diapered** and breastfed both her kids past their second*** birthdays. It’s good for babies, it’s good for moms, it’s cheaper, etc....but mostly I did it because I’m lazy and breastfeeding, once you get the hang of it, is so much easier than dealing with bottles. I’m really grateful that despite some struggles in the early months, I did get the hang of it and was able to do that for my kids for as long as I did.
*I’m more like semi-hippie granola, really. I shop at Target and eat at McDonald’s and lots of things no true hippie would unashamedly do.
**21st-century cloth diapers are so high-tech and easy to use and wash. And they’re super cute.
***By the time kids are past their first birthday, they’re really not nursing much. My kids at that age nursed for about five minutes before nap and bedtime. By the time they quit nursing, it was more like one minute before bedtime, but it was like a magic trick for getting them to sleep.
I’ve never played any version of Super Mario Brothers. Ever. I’m not really a video game person. We own a PS3 but I’ve never played a game on it. The only video games I ever played with any regularity were Pac-Man and Centipede on our Atari 400 when I was a kid, and Tetris on my brother’s Nintendo64.
