There are those times as a parent when you understand why some species eat their young. Then, within minutes, that changes to an “aaawwwweee” moment.

It’s lunchtime. Delaney had started eating her apple (whole). Brianna just finished slicing hers & got the last caramel dipping cup from the cabinet. Delaney started throwing a fit that she wanted Sissy’s caramel cup & refused to eat her apple. I offered to cut her apple but told her she still wouldn’t get Sissy’s “dippin’.” She refused. Then it occured to me to offer her some peanut butter for dipping her apple slices. Delaney perked up & agreed. Crisis temporarily averted.

So, I go into the garage to get something & when I return I see Delaney dipping her apple slice into Brianna’s caramel. I looked at Brianna. She says, “We’re sharing. She let me have some of her peanut butter, so I’m letting her have some of my caramel dip.” I said, “Funny how that works, hu?”

Well, I just downloaded the new iTunes Store app for WordPress blogs that allows you to manage your blog posts, write new ones, create pages & manage comments. So, let me see if I can add photos and format text.

Well, it looks like I can add photos from my iPod, but they are added to the bottom of the post by default & I can format text using HTML coding, italics, did bold in the other paragraph, & I’m sure I could do colors & other formatting manually also, but that is a pain to do when you have to type with your thumbs. Oh well, it seems like it would be a great app for people who blog shorter blog posts on the go, but, as you can tell by the massive amount of posts on my blog , I’m not sure how much use I will get out of this app. But I do see a use for it for many people.

If this post turns out right, hopefully I will have moved the picture that is automatically inserted at the bottom in between two of these paragraphs.

Why is it that if you have a perfectly functional driveway, people will still park in the street?
