    I’ve browsed your wife’s and your blogs occasionally for awhile now, never commented though, maybe once on your wife’s.

    I’d just like to say that, as a parent, I have found that a crapload of your energy is spent defending the child-rearing decisions you make. It is probably worse when you put yourselves out there like you guys have.

    When my husband & I decided to keep our daughter out of Kindergarten due to illness I got so sick of defending our decision to everyone and our dog that I started making shit up. It got to be kind of fun after awhile.

    Most of the time I end up just smiling and nodding even though I’d like to facestab the person giving unsolicited advice. I know in my mind that they probably have the best intentions but sometimes…

    That’s a cute picture and enjoy my comment that is probably totally unhelpful. ;)

    Btw, the English language is new to me. I mean, I’ve only been speaking it for 26 years now. ;) Can I just blame my typos on lack of sleep from a teething toddler?

    God bless cell phone cameras. How many moments like this were missed 20 years ago because there was no camera handy. Thank you for sharing, Jon. I think the world of you and Heather. :)

    When I was Leta’s age, I sat in Mom’s lap. How did we all ever survive.…heck, I am old enough to remember when seat belts weren’t required for ANYBODY.

    (I think you and Dooce are perfectly capable of know ing how to wrap yer youngun in cotton and styrofoam peanuts till she turns thirty.)

    LOL — when I was a baby I used to ride up on the back dash so I could look up a the sky out of the back window of my mother’s LTD! Imagine what would have been said about her today!

    Car Seat Nazi:

    LETA IS OVER 20 LBS. LETA WILL BE 1 YEAR OLD NEXT WEEK. FUCKING BACK YOUR SHIT OFF MOTHERFUCKER.

    Just make me love your family more and more. Fuck what everyone else says, you seem to be awesome parents and to top it off you seem to have an awesome relationship — and you have a fucking sense of humor about everything to top it off. My lord I wish yall would have raised me, maybe I wouldn’t have had to go to the thereapist today.

    Jon: Thank you for your website and your great pics of lovely Leta.

    Seat Nazi: Dude, that backwards-facing 3-year-old is going to have ISSUES. I’ve never seen a kid that age riding backwards. That’s inhumane. They can’t expect him to stare at the car seat on every trip. And think of the humiliation he endures when he brings friends home from preschool. They all fight for shotgun and sit normally in the car, and he’s in his baby seat facing backwards. Yeesh. He’s also going to have a permanent kink in his neck from constantly craning around to see out the freaking window, for god’s sake.
