I'm always like, "You know you wouldn't be having these problems if your kid was in bed like they're supposed to be!" I'm with you on the vomiting thing too. No way, no how. I hate it.

Nothing work on babies. They're babies!<br/><br/>Save the growling and death threats till the kid is at least 4.<br/><br/>(Thanks for the blog-by! I'm enjoying your site as well.)

I have been an unlucky witness to this, and quite possibly am scarred for life.<br/><br/>(thanks for your comments on my site. Speaking of crack, and should you be wondering, last night we learned that "ass crack" is also called "the valley of the buttocks," which I can't seem to say without a Forrest Gump-like inflection.)
