Huh. Hard to figure out how to play this one.<\/p>\n
It’s not every day you get quoted in the Globe and Mail<\/a>, after all. For an attention junkie like me, it doesn’t get much sweeter than that. When Fiona sent me an e-mail to ask if I’d mind being interviewed for a piece she was working on about baby-led weaning<\/a>, I knew if nothing else it would make great blog fodder.<\/p>\n Ah, but as many other A-list celebrities like myself have learned, the media is a fickle mistress indeed. I’m quite sure I never would have said that my mother was “nagging” me to start feeding Lucas solids. “Haranguing” maybe, or “cajoling.” “Hectoring” would have been a good word, now that I think of it. But I would never in a million years told Canada’s national newspaper that my mother was “nagging” me. Never. <\/p>\n I’m *so* getting a lump of coal for Christmas, aren’t I, Mom? (We won’t even get into the fact that we skipped over six weeks’ worth of milestones, from first cereal<\/a> to first Cheerios<\/a>, in a single en-dash!)<\/p>\n Now that I’ve alienated the one person whose vote I knew was in the bag for the Canadian Blog Awards<\/a>, I need your vote more than ever.
