Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on August 10, 2008
I’m so into watching the Olympics. If I had it my way, I’d spend the next three weeks curled up on he sofa, bag of Trader Joe’s chocolate covered pretzels in hand, fixated on the efforts of Michael Phelps and the tiny little gymnasts. Unfortunately, that’s not gonna happen, so I’ve been trying to get Big Bro as into the viewing as I am, hoping that it eclipses “Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks” and “Word World” as his preferred television viewing.
Today I watched pairs diving with him. He liked it so much that he is now “diving” off of everything - the sofa, his bed, etc.
The way I see it, he’ll either end up in the emergency room or in the 2028 Games.

My Current Obsessions
Elephant and Piggie books by Mo Willems
Willems (of "Knuffle Bunny" fame) is this generation's Dr. Seuss. Trust me.
The Youth As We Know it products from Bliss
Most knocked-up gals glow, but when I was pregnant with #2, my skin was crap-tastic. These products whipped it back into shape, and now it's downright radiant.
Juno CD
What’s just as charming as last year’s indie hit “Juno” (and Michael Cera, who stars in the film)? The movie's soundtrack, darlings. My favorite track: Sonic Youth's cover of The Carpenters' "Superstar".

I’m also fixated on the, erm, “efforts” of Michael Phelps
Hi love your blog, I am a mother of 4 ranging in age from 9-3 I am also a writer. I was wondering, how did you get your article published on MSN homepage? Do you mind sharing your information how and where they accept queries? Thanks.

My grandson is just in love with Michael Phelps too. He tied a rag to his head and had me write USA on it in big letters. He then filled the wading pool in the yard to swim (with the rag on his head). The good thing is that events like these where we (the USA) do so well shows youngsters that they too could do the same one day.
My kids are loving the diving, gymnastics and swimming too. We can’t often find something on TV that we all want to watch so I’m loving the Olympics and all four of us reacting together to these amazing athletes!
Well, if you like Michael Phelps this is for you:
