This post has been a long time coming. Once upon a time – almost three months ago which in toddler-development-time is like three hundred years – I started to write… At H’s 18-month doc appointment three weeks months ago, I knew it was coming – the dreaded question – and was prepared with the canned [...]
While FUBALLLLLL is still firmly implanted in the kid’s brain as a worthy activity, a new one followed as an even longer lasting obsession. Elizabeth and her boyfriend Dave took H to the Children’s Museum where they discovered his apparent talent and love of every parents worst nightmare. Apparently he stayed and played the drums [...]
The kid is 18-months-old tomorrow. I am flabbergasted. The last six months flew by like Christmas morning for a 10-year-old. While the first year was more like that 8am Biology course I took the first semester of my freshman year at college. Whoever believed I would be able to wake-up at that ungodly hour and [...]
I can’t remember if I posted about this, but, the kid now says Ta-Da. Not a huge deal – it’s a pretty easy phrase – two syllables that he’s been saying for a while. But, it’s HOW he says it that makes it so irresistibly cute. First of all it’s much higher pitched than almost [...]
So, I woke up this morning determined to commit a blogging sin – to go back in and edit what I had written. I was feeling guilty for being so negative about H. I assumed that nobody would have checked the blog that late at night so, I would be safe. Apparently not… thankfully. Nicole, [...]
What about mean? Or just plain scary? So, when I mentioned that things were going so well with our angelic 17-month old – that weekends were filled with Marc and me sharing our thoughts on how adorable our son has become – how smart, how sweet – that because of that perfection we were undoubtedly [...]
I’m sorry Grammy and Nicole, but, we just couldn’t handle the mullet any longer. He was starting to hide his O’s back there. And we won’t even mention what happens to all of the stray yogurt that used to find its way into those golden locks. Bye bye bird-nest: Hello clean-cut little boy: And mom, [...]
uh-oh no yeah I am certain there are more, but, he’s in the middle of getting the last 2 of his first molars and today is a particularly rough day – more crying than conversing I’m afraid. Thank you to Elizabeth for her unending patience… she calmly tells me after he’s gone to sleep that, [...]
Hoo-Hoo (as in the sound an owl makes) SSSSSSSS (and a snake) Meow (and a cat) Dot (while drawing he learned what a dots are – as in polka dots – and repeated it over and over and over…) Listening: The Crazies
… I heard it. We can take ICE out of the Folder-Of-Lies and place it on the official list of Words-That-Are-Barely-Perceptible-That-My-Son-Has-Uttered. Other items on that list include, but, our not limited to: Ice Bus Truck (but, you knew that one already) Moo Meow Roar Ree-Er-Ree-Er (That’s a fire engine siren for those of you who [...]
