I haven't seen the movie yet although I'm dying to (and yes, I will definitely want another one after watching it) and I agree that I would cringe at some of those parts. But then your last paragraph about how babies do unsafe things every where, even right under our noses? How true that is! I watched my 12 month old climb four steps today and then I watched her fall down those same four steps. I resisted the urge to leap across the zillions of toys between us to comfort her. And I'm glad I saved my energy, because she looked up at me and laughed out loud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3910944908737969258.post-52818251499133107272010-08-30T15:23:19.294-04:002010-08-30T15:23:19.294-04:00Loved this post, Leigh.
