		<description>I absolutely love the movie Parenthood, and yes, my youngest could have been that little boy, never sitting still always into things, and we would sit back and let him explore and burn off his energy..He's six now and his language skills are above average and he is very inquisitive and loves to read. I have a strong feeling that Mensa is probably in your kids' futures and they are having fun and that's great they love to laugh and have fun with each other, love your story, too cute!</description>

		<description>Always great to hear B&#38;B stories - they crack me up! 

One of my friends here started calling her daughter Bean as soon as she saw her first ultrasound. It stuck so much that the little girl was actually named Natalie Bean in the end! Apparently there's even some young girl detective series of books about a Bean (or Beanie)?</description>

		<description>Your story about the hand-holder was on my mind during MA class, as discussed in my post this morning. See how the guilt can be passed around? Speaking of Korean parenting, did you remember the time your Dad left Booper with TOTAL STRANGERS at the zoo while he went to the potty, just cuz they are Korean?</description>

		<description>I'm betting there'll be years of numerous entertaining moments with those two.  I love the colliding game they play... as long as no heads are being cracked.  Perhaps they should wear helmets... Buddy cracks me up.  Sheesh, G, keep your stories short.  (haha, I know, I am in no position to tell someone else to keep their stories short.)

Now I am curious about the hand-holder.  Just last night, at a Korean restaurant, this mom continued to read her newspaper as her toddler (younger than LN) wandered over, sat on my lap for a while.  Now, THAT is Korean parenting.  I'd never seen them before.  :-)</description>

		<description>Your kids are f'ing smart and funny.  I wouldn't worry about their headbutting ways until they start ordering pizzas in class.</description>

		<description>your kids are so adorable.  I'm going to put asian mom pressure on my son to try to live up to the standards that buddy and bean have set in terms of being hilarious...how horrible is that?

my husband is kind of like steve martin's kid with the bowl on his head.  at least  i know why my son acts that way too.

as for the chronic hand holding mom, who knows.  that is my inane opinion on the matter.  without knowing any background, of course it would seem annoying and out of sorts.  don't beat yourself up.</description>
