Believe it or not, I actually do participate in some textbook parenting now and then. For example, this morning the kids and I were having a discussion on the dangers of smoking, and all the reasons why it's bad for your body. When the topic moved on to brains, Connor wanted to know exactly what a brain was. After I told him it was something in your head that made your body work and helps you think, we moved onto how we can take good care of our brains. Sayde said, "Don't smoke and eat healthy foods."
"Good one," I said.
And then there's my other child...
Here's a useful tip from Connor about how to take care of your brain:
"Keep it in your head!"
That sounds like the keystone of a good life to me.

Oh my - kids are just way too cute! Oh, and don't let them forget about running 50+ miles in a matter of days to drop quick weight! (smile) Still laughing about you.
Kurt Cobain: NOW you tell me this?
Holy Shit! That's sooo wrong - yet my laughter somehow makes it right.
If you brain wasn't in your head, it couldn't move your lips and you couldn't smoke. So maybe Connor's logic is all wrong. Ok, ok... smoking is bad and brains should stay in heads. And your kid is a genius. :)
My parents just told me "See what we are doing, don't do this."
Sounds logical to me. Thank you Dr. Connor for that one!
Did you leave on your trip yet or are you simply still on the treadmill?
