• 10 Ten Videos of Babies Falling (and not getting terribly hurt)

  When you have your first baby you handle him or her like they are full of nitro glycerin. Gingerly you pick them up and set them down. Then baby starts walking and you wince when they stumble and fall. Then you watch your kid take a big spill and realize they are much sturdier than you realized. Then you pull out the old video camera and wait…  Check out the rest... Read More...

• Dr. Phil Bails Girl Arrested For Videotaped Beating of Classmate

  The Dr. Phil show has seen fit to pony up bail for one of the girls recently arrested for beating a classmate unconscious and video taping the crime with intent to post on You Tube. When asked about the motivation, staffers for the show said it is common show policy to make financial contributions to former guests and hopeful future guests. Where do I spew my bile first?

• Scream-Free Births

  My husband and I took a six-week childbirth class about a month before my due date. The instructor was unquestionably pro-drug-free labors. So, in addition to going over all the anatomy charts and talking about our fears and how we handle pain, etc., we also watched a ton of birth movies. Tons and tons and tons. Her goal was to bore the fear out of us, I think. In fact, by the end of the six weeks, we'd seen birth from all angles -- you know, except the angle of actually experiencing it, which by then felt a little beside the point. Read More...

• Manchester United Recruits 9 Year Old

  Remember when Freddy Adu started playing for DC United when he was only 14 years old? No? Fine. Nobody in the US actually follows major league soccer, or you didn't before  The Beckhams moved to L.A. It's okay. I don't blame you. I'd watch golf on tv if there was a slight chance that David Beckham would appear shirtless. Read More...

• Oh, Remember the Singing Grapefruit?

  The first time someone who thought I should be exposed to opera played me Bizet's Carmen, I immediately had a serious flashback. I felt warm and comfy and citrus-y. "Daisies and rubber bands?" I thought. Of course I was reliving this wonderful bit from Sesame Street.  I love the kitchen collaboration to make a perfect diva, and my favorite part is that stretch of a high note. I wonder if Maria Callas' face ever flew in the air when she sang? Posted Jul 17 2007, 03:51 PM by Kelly Mills with | with 5 comment(s) Filed under: sesame street, nostalgia, you tube, videos, songs

• Buffalos Open a Can of Whup-Ass

  There's a long list of things I can't handle now that I'm a parent. News stories about abused or kidnapped children. Movies like Babel. Books that have a child death as a plot device. Shoot, Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" could send me into a tailspin now. But you know what tops that list? Nature shows. Because the circle of life often involves baby animals being eaten. Yeah, yeah, it's a wild kingdom out there, but I don't care. I'm content to be a wussy. So I got all choked up when I watched this video via So Close about lions and a croc fighting over a baby buffalo. It reminded me too much of sending my kid to kindergarten. But then, the buffalos form a posse, and...well, check out what happens. Don't mess with a buffalo baby!  Posted Jul 16 2007, 06:55 PM by Kelly Mills with | with 2 comment(s) Filed under: you tube, nature, crocodile, lions, baby animals, wild animals

• What's Better Than Reading a Harry Potter Book? This Is.

  Okay, so I'm not a big Harry Potter fan. So sue me. I read the first book; I get the idea.

• Does YouTube Count as TV for Kids Under Two?

  Here's the moronic question of the day: Does YouTube count as TV? The American Pediatrics People Who Don't Enjoy Fun, or whatever the acronym is, say kids shouldn't watch any TV until they're two. But how about an occasional YouTube clip? Dana was sick this morning, and Emmeline was bouncing off the walls, so I sat her on my lap and forced her to watch two clips or Bert and Ernie. She was mesmerized. But then I started to feel guilty. We don't let her watch TV at all, but there she was -- watching what amounted to TV, albeit a smaller version that is more personalized and contains no commercials. So what's the answer -- and please, please, please don't get me "anything in moderation."

• You Tube Goodness: Father's Day Tribute

  Nope, it's not too soon to be thinking about Father's Day, at least not if you're Seattle-area Internet company Efinancial.com, which has put together a video tribute of dads and daughters from across America (some, apparently, from the 1970's!). WARNING: SACCHARINE ALERT!! If you have an allergic reaction to sweeteners, you may find this a little sappy for your taste, and you may wish to replace the soundtrack of "Daddy's Little Girl" sung by R&B recording artist E. Walter Smith and American Idol contestant Tatiana McConnico with something more to your liking, but all in all there are some moving images here of dads and their little girls.  Posted Jun 05 2007, 07:51 AM by Karen Murphy with | with 1 comment(s) Filed under: video, daddies, you tube, father's day, Efinancial, little girls, dads and daughters

• Parents Babble: The Human Face of Hipster Parenting

  Parents Babble, a regular feature on the video section of babble.com, recently featured an interview with "Rock Critic Dad" Simon and his "Ol' Lady" Joy who survive on little sleep, think "parenting causes brain damage," and don't take the whole hipster parenting thing too seriously.
