the difficult thing about being a parent is this: striking a balance between encouraging and discouraging certain behaviors.

brian and i got this picture today from grammy -- evan had a sleepover there last night and was discovered in this somewhat compromising position -- and i was just so glad that i wasn't the one who caught him because i think every strand of my being would have been so proud and i'm not sure i could have hidden my pride well enough to put on my stern-mommy face and say, "evan, we do not sit in sinks."

how cool that my kiddo climbed into a sink today. this is big! he is big! i'm such a proud mama.
