Read­ing:

The Vac­cine Book: Mak­ing the Right Deci­sion for Your Child (Sears Par­ent­ing Library)
by Robert Sears, M.D. F.A.A.P & What Your Doc­tor May Not Tell You About Children’s Vac­ci­na­tions
by Stephanie Cave, M.D., F.A.A.F.P. & Deb­o­rah Mitchell. Both books offer infor­ma­tion to help you make deci­sions about vac­ci­na­tions. I like that the infor­ma­tion is based on sci­ence and doesn’t dis­count the pos­si­ble value vac­cines can offer soci­ety, even if there are con­cerns about them. Good for par­ents who are won­der­ing if they want to keep the cur­rent CDC sched­ule, delay vac­cines, selec­tively vac­ci­nate, use an alter­na­tive sched­ule, or not vac­ci­nate at all. Really help­ing us in our own dis­cus­sions on vac­ci­nat­ing options for our own fam­ily. Hubby has been read­ing, high­light­ing, and taken more inter­est in learn­ing about health than I’ve ever seen before.

Lis­ten­ing:

My daugh­ter attempt­ing to sing AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS!! TWINKLERRR TWINKLERRR LITTLER STARRRRRR!! (Not sure why she adds the “rs”, maybe artis­tic flair). But I must admit after hear­ing her shout her singing over & over & over & over again this morn­ing I am wor­ried that she will take after momma with her singing abil­ity. Really pray­ing that doesn’t hap­pen. Since I can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Also, really pray­ing I have more Tylenol (or really the generic Tar­get brand because I’m cheap like that).

Watch­ing:

The Snorks My chil­dren have dis­cov­ered the joys of Snork­dom. To be young again. I’m lov­ing that they are on Boomerang.

We need more under­wa­ter kids adven­tures that are really just The Smurfs
redux.

But I still won­der why there was only one girl on The Smurfs & think the show jumped the shark after they added the baby Smurfs.  Kinda like what hap­pened to Happy Days.

Ahhh Boomerang! My favorite cartoon channel! There is something to be said about cartoons from our days. Not a bunch of flash and anime, just good old fashioned (ew did I just reference our childhood as old fashioned?) cartoon fun!

I haven’t heard of the Snorks… I think probably becuase my kids are older? They look cute.

I’ve always been cautious about vaccinations. I tend to do a bunch of research first and limit the number of vaccinations given at one time.

I was never allowed to watch Smurfs as a kid. Now I’m curious.

@genny–i grew up w/ them. they are “retro” now

@faemom–it’s probably cuz your parents wondered why there was only 1 girl for all those guys. either Smurfette got around or she was a fag hag. maybe she wasn’t even a she, perhaps in drag? see there i go starting stuff again. now the Smurfs won’t be sending me a Christmas card this yr.
