Weekend Reads: Kids Movie Research/Reviews, Rock Star Parents, Real Family Photos
Well hello hello! It’s been a fun and eventful weekend here, as my dear little 2 year old son has some sort of stomach bug. It started on his way home from daycare Friday….I got a text from my husband saying he’d thrown up. When I got home 20 minutes later, my son was sitting on the couch looking very pale and sad. I asked him how he was and he said “Mama, I spilled my tummy. I spilled it on the floor!”. From here on in, this is how I will refer to all vomit, always.
But enough about tummy spills, what kind of link are you looking for this weekend?
If you’re looking for….some Ayn Rand for kids:
Here she is reviewing children’s movies. Objectively, of course.
If you’re looking for….more commentary on kids movies:
The British Medical Journal has a new study highlighting the violence in some of our most loved kids films. Spoiler alert: we show our kids a LOT of parent death.
If you’e looking for….some developmental psych:
How our earliest experiences influence us later on….a little a little.
If you’re looking for….why you have kids on the brain:
If you’re a mom, your kids cells could be literally in your brain.
If you’re looking for….some rock stars:
Here they are talking about their parents. I love that Frank Zappa’s mom was jealous of his hair.

I like these. I really like these.
