Man, I have been tired and lazy and crabby. So, not blogging. Lots of things have been happening, which accounts for me being tired – which leads to me being lazy – and then I realize how much I need to get done and how hard it is with kids – which leads me to being crabby.
The biggest thing is that Ben started preschool. He did great his first week. He did great his second week, except he has a bit of an obsession with his buddy, Jack, that the teachers are trying to curb. Mainly, he does not want to interact with any other kids other than Jack. Jack is one cool kid, but it would be nice for Ben to branch out and not be uber-cliquey with his bud. On a different note – Ben can totally write his name!! Sure, it’s a dyslexic version, but he is doing it. And, yesterday, he was asking me how to spell my name, daddy’s name, Jack’s name, Caden’s name (get the picture?), and he was able to write each and every name. Sure, you might have to channelyour inner Sherlock Holmes to crack the code of all the letters, but they are there.
Teddy, well, Teddy is almost one. It’s crazy to believe that a year ago, I was excited and nervous to meet him. We are prepping for his big birthday bonanza. It’s a monster theme - fitting for our strong-willed, temperamental, insomniac child. As I type this, feeling a bit of mom guilt – Teddy is a great baby. Yes, he is stubborn, but a joyful stubborn. And, he’s quite the dancer.
Ummm, we had more trips up north. Spent more time in the city doing lots of different things. Hung out with friends. Basically, our crazy style of never staying at home.
I’m pretty happy to be home for a bit. And, pretty happy that fall tv has started. I don’t think this post is making much sense, but this is how my mind works when I am tired, and lazy, and crabby.
