Best cab ride ever!

We had a great time in Vegas, even though we couldn't make it past 11pm. Ha! But, we had a really nice lunch and a fancy dinner, drinks by the pool, did some shopping and slept in until 7:30. It was a great trip and we're looking forward to doing it again - for 2 nights this time - in February.

Our male cab driver from the hotel to the airport yesterday morning, however, was the real treat! He asked a little about our trip and it came out that we have a 9.5m old at home. From that, here are some fun facts he shared with us:

*Babies ONLY cry when they're hungry or wet. That's it! Otherwise, mellow little creatures.
*Formula is poison. Breastfeeding is the only way to go as it makes kids so much smarter than any baby fed formula. Sure, it makes it hard to leave a baby for longer than a few hours, but in that case, you can just give the baby a little formula. That won't hurt them.
*If you breastfeed, you don't need to immunize them! In "the olden days" everybody was breastfed and it protected the babies from all sorts of "silly" little diseases, like polio and chicken pox. If you breastfeed, no vaccines necessary.

At this point, I had to go to my happy place so I wouldn't go off on the guy. I mean, holy hell dude! Not only are you effing wrong, you have no idea whether I BF'd or FF'd, whether my kid had colic or was a magic baby, whether I was pro or anti-vaccine, I mean, gah! I seriously was so angry by the time we hit the airport, I could barely see straight. My poor husband was left to deal with the fall out. LOL

I told H that the only upside to the whole thing was that I couldn't wait to share it with my moms board.

I had a hygienist once tell me all about how daycare is a bad idea; that you never get back those early years with your kids; how it made her kids smarter and more thoughtful to be home with her; and that you can't fully trust any daycare provider. I was just trapped there with my mouth open, while she scraped away and semi-berated me. Then I realized that her daughter had been a daycare teacher for mine the year before.
