This comic is related to this musing:Study Shows Formula Feeding Makes Kids Less Smart!

hathor: “Wow. this study just flat-out states that formula-fed children are…um…how to put this politely? less…um…not as intel…”
darling super hero: “ahem, you could just say breastfed babies are ’smarter’ like the article does…”
hathor: “and let these people use formula as the standard?! NEVER! I just need a better word for ‘less smart’”
baby:”Unintelligent? insipient? incapacious?”
darling super hero: “Kids! Bring mom the thesaurus, she’s at a loss for words! and a camera to document baby’s first words!”

If you’d like to leave a comment, please scroll down to the next available non-comic blog entry, you know, a word-y one (For a myriad of reasons I turn off the comments on the comics themselves)…and comment away, I love to hear from you!!!!

I am…but alas, I am not!

Come to find out I’m Marianne Dashwood, and therefore must re-read Sense and Sensibility to remind myself how cool I am.

I am Marianne Dashwood!

Take the Quiz here!

but first I have to finish reading the stack of birth stories (Man! everyone has me on the edge of my seat!) for my upcoming book. And with the crazy schedule around here: camping, dinner-dancing, ren faire-ing, paddleboard racing, and so on and so forth I may never get to it!

Another thing I wish I could get to, but can’t:

If you’re a fan of The Daily Groove, or if you’re wanting to become more creative in your parenting, you’ll want to join us on May 31st in L.A.! Scott Noelle will be facilitating his live workshop - The Seven Powers of Attraction Parenting. Here are the details:

When: May 31, 2008, 10:00am–1:00pm (Saturday)
Where: The Community Room building adjacent to
Holy Nativity Episcopal Church
6700 West 83rd Street
Westchester, CA 90045
(Los Angeles, near LAX)

This workshop will focus on “The Seven Powers of Attraction Parenting” as described in Scott Noelle’s new book, The Daily Groove: A Creative Parents’ Guide to the Art of Attraction Parenting.™

You will learn practical, “inside out” techniques for meeting the challenges of modern parenting, with ease and grace, using…

The Power of Acceptance
The Power of Alignment
The Power of Attunement
The Power of Attraction
The Power of Attachment
The Power of AND
The Power of Appreciation

Registration
Enrollment is limited to 50 adult participants, and pre-registration will begin Friday, May 9th. Your investment is only $45, or $75 for couples. There is no charge for children and non-participating babysitters (see below).

To make sure you get a spot, send a blank email to…

event-info-la at aweber.com
…and then check your email for a confirmation link.

BONUS! Register before Tuesday, May 20th, and get a free month of membership in Scott’s “Total Immersion” coaching program. (A $24 value! New members only.)

A Child-Honoring Event
While this workshop is intended for parents, we also want it to be a child-friendly, attachment-honoring event:

“Attached” children are welcome, but if your children are old enough to be separated from you for a few hours, we recommend you come without them. Near our meeting room there will be both indoor and outdoor spaces where children can be active without disturbing the workshop. Childcare will not be provided, so those who bring active children will need to bring their own babysitter/helper to supervise them. We recommend you also bring along healthy snacks, water, play supplies such as crayons and small toys, etc. If your child is a baby who will nurse and/or sleep on you (or next to you) for most of the time, you may not need a helper person. Please contact us if you have any questions about bringing your attached child.

I’ll be out of town, boo hoo!

but will be waiting to hear all about it from those of you who are nearby Los Angeles!

xox,
Heather
