My baby turned one...

Yikes. William is officially one. And he walks. What the hell is up with that??? How can he be walking when he was just born like yesterday?? My last baby. How nice to be able to say that.
Ok, some weird things that I have heard/seen lately.

1. Some woman on TV was saying she teaches her kids to use utensils to eat because, and I quote.."We don't eat with our hands. We are not dogs.". What the fuck?? Dogs eat with their hands??

2. Another woman (actually, a friend who may or may not read this) also had an interesting comment. When talking about the value of using Pull-ups or just going to undewear, I was told (again, I quote) "Well, I use Pull-ups because I refuse to let my kid pee all over the house. I am sorry, but I am just not comfortable with that." Is she saying that I DO let my kid pee all over the house?? This was followed up by "If I wanted a pet, I would get one". Who is she hanging out with that lets their pets pee all over the house??

3. Now , this is the killer one.
I was at my sister-in-laws house for a party. I realized I forgot to bring baby fruit for William and only had vegatables. So I asked her for a jar of fruit. She openeed her closet and had like 50 jars of veggies, but no fruit. The conversation went as follows:

Me: I guess Riley (my neice) likes fruit..you are all out!

Her: No, I actually don't feed her fruit. My pediatrician says not to give any fruit until at least one year because it trains their taste buds to like sweet over veggies.

Me: Oh, I had never heard that. Do you have any regualr applesauce?

Her: No..do you want to give him this (hands me some baby custard).

Me: No thanks, I am trying not to feed him desserts.

Her: Ok, I was going to feed this to Riley (Hands me a CONTAINER OF PUDDING)...how about that?

Me: Well, I haven't really given him anything like that...

Her: How about yogurt?

Me: Oh, great...
Her: (Hands me SPLENDA sweetened yogurt) This is Riley's favorite.
Rileys dinner of pudding was followed by ice cream cake.

So, let me get this straight. I am wrong for giving my baby Organic baby fruit, but pudding, custard, artificially sweetened yogurt, and pieces of CAKE are ok?? WTF??
People are weird
