a couple funny things...

I am teaching a class at the USU Brigham City campus this semester. It's been awhile since I was actually in a class and not just paying tuition while I write my dissertation, so I was a little nervous to teach. The best moment of class so far came while we were discussing the benefits of breastfeeding (it's a human development class and we were talking about infants, so it wasn't just me being political). I noted that one advantage is that breastfed children have better jaw development because bottle-fed infants are "lazy suckers." Whoops. Sure didn't practice that part of the lecture out loud. It got quite a chuckle. For the record, I was not trying to make any sort of statement about bottle-fed infants' moral character, just that they tend to suck lazily.

On an unrelated note (but also funny), here is a picture of Cole eating breakfast this morning. Annie woke up early and needed an early nap (needed, but sadly did not get), so I was trying to get her to sleep. I came down the stairs and there was Cole, camped out in front of the fridge helping himself. Oh isn't independence great!

Cute picture of Cole and too funny about him getting in the fridge by himself. Looks like he was craving some pizza! I hope Nathan doesn't figure out how to get into the fridge.

I liked the "lazy suckers" comment. I want to come take your class - entertaining and informative I am sure!
