Our Smart Baby

Congratulations to our 2nd Top Toddler Mom Blog of The Week, BubandPie

Read her interview below and then go visit her site and tell her we sent you.

1)Please tell Us more about yourself

I am a part-time university English professor and full-time mother
(through the magic of online teaching) to two children: my toddler,
whom I refer to on my blog as the Bub (age 2.5 yrs.) and my baby Pie,
11 months. My husband just graduated from law school, so we are
eagerly awaiting the joys of paying off student debt. When I was a
little girl, inspired by people like Emily of New Moon and Harriet the
Spy, I always wanted to be a writer. Then I grew up and became more
accustomed to analyzing other people's writing than creating my own.
Now (again through the magic of the Internet) I feel like I'm finally
beginning to find my own voice again.

2)Tell us about your toddler

We all know that every child is unique, but the Bub, perhaps, is
evidence that some are more unique than others. (Grammar alert!
"unique" is not a comparative term! Okay, I'm putting the red pencil
down.) The Bub is a young Encyclopedia Brown, engaged in a constant
study of the laws of physics ("If I push my sister, will she fall
down?") and the principles of chemistry ("If I mix my carrots into my
yogourt, will they combine to create an explosive substance I can use
to achieve world domination?"). He loves numbers and animals,
concentrates with fierce intensity, and keeps his mother firmly in her
place.

3) What is the best thing about having a mom blog?

Um, the renewed sense of purpose in life? The attention? The
validation that people actually want to read what I write? Um, scratch
those. The best thing about having a mom blog is the motivation it
provides to record all the things about my children, and about my life
right now, that I will want to remember, and laugh and cry over, when
I'm eighty.
