My children are eating cheerios, watching the Flintstones while we wake up and get ready today. Turn the clock back 35 years and it could easily be me and my brother.

In other news, I’m competing this weekend in Northern Berkshire Family Nursing’s trivia contest at the Williams Inn on Saturday. This is a cause very close to my heart. Nursing doesn’t come naturally to some women and babies and having a free support system in place is beyond invaluable, especially in an era where the most likely source of support, your own mother, probably didn’t nurse.

I spent most of the first 12 weeks of Cate’s life working with a very expensive lactation consultant before surrendering to the reality that she was going to be a bottle baby. Alex took to it much easier, and I think still has moments when he remembers the comfort he got from it, even though we stopped three years ago.
