I am officially a blogging flunkie. And I would have just left it alone, to fade into oblivion, except I was just called on it by my mother-in-law, who had apparently been following my (sad) blog, waiting for me to update it! So, even if for no one else's sake but my dear mother-in-law's, I am going to update it once again, on a more regular basis. It's a good thing to do, anyway, because I need some place to document all the wrong things we do as parents, and more recently, the funny things Emma is learning to say.
So, here's what not to do as parents, just from this week's experience alone:
- Don't yell obscenities while driving, no matter how dire the circumstance, because it is sure to result in the little parrot repeating what you said. (Just for clarification, all I said was, "Oh, shoot!" as I came to an abrupt stop at a light cause a rather large bag of groceries to topple over in the back seat - so it wouldn't cook in my trunk on this lovely 114-degree heat. Emma immediately repeats, "Oh shoot! Oh, shoot!")
- Don't point it out (within earshot of other adults) when your child passes gas with a phrase like, "Emma, was that you tooting?". At 28 months, she understands that's a social faux-pas, and is likely to come back with, "No! Mommy tooting!" And adults believe two-year-olds more than a 40-year-old.
Stay tuned, Ma Busby, for more to come....

THANK YOU!!!! We are happy to hear that you all are still alive and doing well. We thought as Emma was just entering Nursery when you blogged last that we wouldn't hear from you until she became a Sunbeam. ;)
