In all the talk about the difficulties of parenting in time-starved dual career families, we forget to mention the simple joys. It doesn't get better than a laughing baby. It also reminds me of the miraculous power of a piece of paper.
Oh, and I posted pix of my favorite pair of summer sandals. http://badmomgoodmom.blogspot.com/2008/07/shoes-of-summer.html
I've been wearing low-heeled granny shoes all my life so I am not going to change now. Walking is my way to fight climate change. http://badmomgoodmom.blogspot.com/2007/02/what-is-wrong-with-this-picture.html
Adorable...and a big shout out to my son and daughter....bring on the grandkids....I'm ready. What I love best about this video is the way that the adult, I assume the father, allows the baby to fall over and doesn't fuss over the child. Because of that attitude the baby takes it all in stride and just keeps laughing.

The place that baby is at? I need to get to that place. Without alcohol.
