1. Kids are amusing.
They walk funny, they fall down a lot, they say strange things and they do a funny little dance whenever people dressed in giant animal costumes appear on TV.
They are a never-ending source of entertainment.
What can I say ?
I get bored and sometimes, I run out of good DVDs.
2. Kids make great excuses.
“ Oh, I can’t come in to work cos my kid is really sick …
Aiya, I have to leave this wonderful ( read: super-boring ) luncheon cos my kid’s waiting for me at home …
Sorry I’m an hour late, you know my kid la, always giving me problems " !!!
3. Kids can be useful.
Once they’re old enough – say, two or three – you can use them to fetch things for you, do chores around the house and if you’re lucky and with enough training, they can even lift moderately heavy, non-breakable objects and operate kitchen appliances.
4. Kids are like your personal dolls.
You can dress them anyway you like and they have to comply.
Sure I know there are precocious two-year-old terrors who are extremely finicky about their choice of attire but hey, take solace in the fact that they’re still small enough for you to arm-wrestle into submission.
5. Kids boost your self-esteem.
They ask you all sorts of questions (why is the sun so hot, why is the sky so blue, why is that tree so big ? ) which you can easily answer even if you have no idea what the hell you’re talking about.
“ The sun is so hot cos it’s made of fire " !
And they will believe you, which makes you feel really smart and powerful !

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
