[blparent] Convention question

[Leanne Merren]

My kids always handed things to me or put my hands on things, but when 
reality started to set in, around age 3 or 4, or sometimes even a bit older, 
then they started asking questions.  They would still try to show me 
pictures and things, so it was obvious that they didn't really understand 
for a while.
I was still nursing Kaelyn at convention.  I'm comfortable nursing in public 
though, and just kept us covered, as I would anywhere else.  She ate a lot 
of Gerber puffs that week though. *smile*
