ABOUT PARENTING
Chocolates do not agree with my 3-year old. It upsets his tummy. "Mommy," I overheard my 3-year old ask my wife one night. "Could I have chocolate?" "Are you sure?" my wife asked. She explained how chocolates upset his tummy, how he has to go to the potty ten or 15 minutes afterwards each time. My 3-year old thought for a second. "I'm sure," he said. "I will live with it."
Two updates:
100 Portrait Ideas. I've redesigned my photo blog—again. Please visit at mikeleonen.com
Writing A Book In 40 Days. Except for updating my blog and Twitter, I'm where I want to be, surprisingly. One thing I've learned about updating my blog and Twitter and writing a book in 40 days: they don't go together. I'll post more sketches this week.

A boy after my own heart...I too would live with it, whatever it is, for a piece of chocolate :)
I can't wait to see updates on your book - this project has me very intrigued!!

How funny - I'd probably go ahead and eat the chocolate too.
Looking forward to your book sketches...

Yeah I agree with commenter #1 I too would eat the chocolate and live with the consequences :)

I'm with him -- when I was a child I was allergic to chocolate and would break out in hives. But I would have lived with it, too!

What a wise son you have :) I'm glad to know the book is on track - I've missed your Tweets and posts!

oh yeah, I would learn to live with it too, lol! What a cute comment, hehehe! They say the cutes things and they don't even realize it. That's the beauty of it.

Your 3 year old is already learning to live with consequences! I'm impressed...
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the Mother's Day greetings. I'm glad to see you are back in blog/Twitter action. I know what you mean. They are a huge time suck.
Looking forward to seeing the new sketches!

It takes sacrifice :)

Man...I wish I had that problem. It just might keep me away from my secret stash! :o)

That is a compromise I would also be willing to make...smart boy! Chocolate is just one of those little things that make life "sweet"
Haave a great week!

Oh my...that is too cute!!

I'm glad to hear the book is on schedule. I can't wait to read it!
I think most of us would take the consequences to eat chocolate! They seem so grown up when they make comments like that don't they?

I wish chocolate would upset my tummy, then I would be about 15 lbs lighter. LOL
I am very interested in seeing your photography blog, but when I click over there I can only ever see the one picture. When I clicked on gallery, it explained the three different things but I couldn't click anywhere or see anything. I am using Firefox, could that be the problem?
I am a new owner of a Nikon D60 and PSE, so I would love tips and ideas.
