For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. ~ Audrey Hepburn The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. […]

Such a handsome little man you have there!

LOL too sweet. He is adorable.
-
So cute!
-
He isn’t dumb, he knows it is important to keep the ladies happy. My 3 boys are flirts too.
-
He’s starting early!! lol
-
Awwwwww, that’s adorable! I was going to go on that but I canceled because the heat was so brutal and the humidity even worse!
-
And so it begins! ๐
-
Awww! Cute photo!
-
Great shot. Glad he actually got to see NY outside of the Expo floor. ๐
-
So sweet! His first love. <3
-
Aww. Little ladies man!

-
What a cutie!
-
Oh boy! Mama better look out! ๐

I think I was on the same tour as you (Fri, 2pm) because I remember this little guy … he was so cute! ๐
-
ROFL Little man is so cute!

When I was single, I would go about my care-free, single life business, noticing parents with uncontrollable kids out of the corner of my eye. I would judge moms whose two year old was having a tantrum, thinking if she did x, y, z she’d have perfectly behaved children, and what the heck is wrong […]
-
That’s a determined face!
-
I babysat every summer and any holidays there wasn’t school from the time I was 12 till I turned 18, and I think because of this, I never judged parents, before I became one myself. I realized what it was like taking care of kids. It also made me never want kids. I changed my mind, obviously, but I was 38 when I had my son. ๐
-
I think many of us used to be that single person. It’s part of the humbling experience of being a parent. We are in a pretty nasty 3 yo stage right now… here is hoping it gets better soon!
-
I’m glad I got to meet him being sweet as pie! ๐ But yes you just have to let them do their thing when they are like that.
-
As a “judgemental single” myself (I’m married actually but who’s counting) my poison thought of choice is less about how much better I would do (because let’s be real, folks) and more disdain that people don’t keep their children to themselves.
Awesome meeting you at BlogHer, by the way!
-
Oh, how many times did I shoot a nasty look at some poor mother juggling screaming babies, or make a snide remark about her parenting skills, because I was THAT single person and then some. We always said when we had kids we wouldn’t take them in public until we were SURE they would behave.
I think we more or less stuck to that, but then, we only have the one and what a shy soft-spoken thing she has always been. I imagine, that sometime in the future, Karma will give me a giant kick in the butt for all those snide comments I made and dirty looks I gave. And I will totally deserve it. LOL -
Isn’t that the truth. I love the photo great job!
-
Isn’t that the truth?!? I was the same until I had children.
-
Hahaha… SOOO true. We knew so much when we were young, single, and without kids. =)
-
LOL! Well luckily Goo didn’t have those tantrums but Kay does. I give her this eye and she just gets up and gets some act right now as for her mama…not so lucky. LOL! It will get better.
Thinking for fun you should just lay in the floor and scream and yell when he doesn’t do something you want him to do … that will probably scare the foolishness out of him. LOL! -
You really just have to do the best you can. I also have an incredibly strong willed, stubborn child and I’m forever researching ways to more effectively parent and really figure things out. I feel so lost sometimes.
-
I really put my foot in my mouth before I had my son and I feel so embarrassed when I think of the things I said.
-
Thank goodness Sweet T inherited both our passive, non-controversial natures. I don’t know what I’d do with a strong-willed child! Pray that we luck out with #2 too.
-
Been there. It’s amazing how children will change the way you view others.
-
Wonderful post and so true for myself too! Those same single gals will have their day of realization as well. It’s part of the life cycle I suppose.
-
I am soooo guilty of this same thing! It’s hard to understand until you have one of your own…
-
It’s amazing how you change when you have kids of your own isn’t it? I’ve been there and I quickly learned. ๐ Your little guy is too cute!
-
I think a lot of us thought that way before we became parents. If we had only known…
-
Awesome meeting you too! I am publishing your “half” pic soon ๐
