Popi Naps with Justy

Some People Like Privacy . . .

. . . And then there's Jupiter Johnson. But hey, if you're proud of your new skills, why not show the world? Jupiter, once famous for her tendency to strip her clothes, hold her fists high, shout "Pee-pee" and urinate on the floor, now shouts "Pee-pee," races to get her potty, lifts it up onto the couch and waves at citizens passing by. How many of us know that double joy?

When you're feeling down, who do you turn to?

As James adjusts to his new little sister, he's turning to Alfie, the excavator car from the Thomas the Train series. James broke his arm about a year ago, and after that, he became fixated with one-armed characters, from "Scoop" on Bob the Builder to "Diesel 10" from Thomas the Train. Now, James is in love with Alfie, a little train he eats with, sleeps with and races home to say hello to. Having your mom half-occupied with a new baby must feel like growing up with one arm tied behind your back.
