The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new. ~Rajneesh

Riddle Me This
*(Bad picture, sorry!) Why, after Sophie was born did they give me (and all the other mothers) a piece of umbilical cord to keep? All the moms I asked said they didn't really know why, but that they wouldn't dare throw it away. Yes, it is in there. No, I haven't opened the box.* Spaghetti makes a great headband. Why didn't I think of that?
* Why does our aparment elevator always smell like someone ate a bushel basket full of asparagus and then peed?
* Why as I almost broke my nose tripping over toys and falling on my face, both kids laughed. (Sophie's first real laugh!) Priceless!!
* Why when Sophie was only a few days old MIL suggested it would be ok to leave her sleeping alone in the apartment while I went to the store, but is disgusted at the fact that Bailey sleeps in his own room (usually) and not in bed with us?
* Why does taking a drink directly from the faucet (Bailey's favorite new trick) taste better than water from a cup?
When you figure it out, let me know.
