Weekend Update by Heather Romios

What is the appropriate age separation for your kids? Basically, how far apart should I have spaced my children in order for friends/co-workers/strangers to NOT comment You're pregnant AGAIN? I know I have brought this up before, but I honestly hear it all the time. Reunions, the breakroom, Starbucks...the same question. It's not like Nikos is still in 0-3 month clothes (well, besides socks, ha!) or I am still on my first maternity leave, THEY WILL BE 21 MONTHS APART. Anyway, it just amazes me how often I hear it.

And...on to another lovely subject. Nikos is obsessed with closing and opening doors. Since our bathroom is directly across from the front door, if he is playing in the bathroom while it is...uh, in use...I will just close the door and have him sit on the floor and play with his bath toys. Yeah, well, somehow he caught me pre-flush and tossed in my fancy shampoo bottle to swim with the uh...fishes. Oh yes, after some creative language on my part (so that his 5th word -- after Dadda, Momma, yay and sock -- isn't a cuss word) I asked Taki his advice on how to disinfect the bottle. His suggestion - toss it. Great. Did I mention this was Kerastase shampoo? I was going to point out that fact to Taki but I thought it would just open another can of worms (similar to the You want to pay WHAT for his Halloween costume can that was opened earlier this morning)...
