Yesterday Sandra and Tony held his <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/yewenyi\/search\/tags:marcus\/\">party<\/a>. I was reminded of all the processes and procedures we have a work. Perhaps we should bring out a spoof Australian Standard on raising a child using a TQM process. He clearly had not been trained on how to unwrap a present, in fact the presence of paper around an object was a source of confusion. If only the procedures and processes were in place for the raising of a one year old. I cannot blame my friends. They clearly have a lack of support form the appropriate standards bodies. In fact, may be we need a benchmark and a set of &#8220;world&#8217;s best standards&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>More seriously the party went well. Betheny eventually got over the problem that the presents were not for her. Marcus also has not worked out this candle business and after a guerilla raid by Betheny who blew out the candle the first time round, Marcus wanted to extinguish it with his hand. Blowing in his ear was not a sufficient hint about the task he needed to take. Maybe there is another market opportunity here. I suggest that a group like Banana&#8217;s in Pajamas make training videos for your children on the basics of extinguishing candles.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Marcus&#8217; first birthday.
