Dad as a Stay at Home Mom After Sophie was born, Betsy was upset. She felt she wasn’t doing a great job as a mom (but she was and is!), and she felt like something was missing from her life – her career. She was used to traveling, meetings, selling, etc. All those things that …

Bye-Bye Bah-Bah! We finally decided to force the issue with Sophie. We felt that she had been addicted to milk from a bottle (street slang, “Bah-Bah”) for too long. It was taking over her life.

My Ladies…Here’s a picture with all three of my ladies…just hangin’ out, waitin’ for the bus to take ’em home. You can see Sophie, she’s rfeady to push the stroller all by herself. She’s had a lot of practice. Somehow all toddlers love to push doll strollers around. We have two, since we left one …

I still say they all look alike. I really can’t see any difference between Sophie (here), and Maggie (down below). This is in spite of the fact that Maggie just had a big suction cup stuck to her head so she looked like this year’s Toilet Plunger Queen. Oh that’s right…I can tell. Look who’s …
