This reminded something that my son said last summer at the age of 6 1/2. We
were driving to Vacation Bible School with a food donation and we were
talking about things we do to help people.  He mentioned that on Nickelodeon
(a TV station devoted to children's programming) the kids in the "Big Help"
(a station-sponsored community service project) danced in breastfeeding
houses.  I had no clue as to what he was talking about...just exactly what
is a "breastfeeding house" and why would kids be dancing in them?

It took a few minutes before it dawned on me...NURSING HOMES!!  These kids
were dancing in nursing homes and my delightfully smart, breastfed son
decided that it had to be breastfeeding related.

On another cheerful note, I just heard that a friend of mine is home after a
week in the hospital following surgery for a brain tumor.  Her 5 month old
daughter has returned to the breast after a week-long separation!!
