Eavesdropping

There's nothing better than listening to E and his fanciful bathtub play (complete with different voices) while I lie on our bed. I get a break, he enjoys himself, AND it's cute.

Out of the Mouth of E

His nicknames for R2D2 and C3PO:
Arty and Gold Boy

My Favorite Christmas Shopping Discovery

Here it is.
So cool. Yes it works. And they even make a size you can carry in your pocket. Great for work.

The Cliffs Notes

I have some lovely holiday images to share with you at some point, but that requires real computer blogging versus my much more common iPod scribble. Thus, you get this post for now from our crazy part of the world...

1. E turned three and suddenly realized that pee pee can be (somewhat) controlled! Yay!

2. In related news, pooing on the potty is THE END OF THE WORLD.

3. Lovely for us that he's still not potty trained because our daycare lady informed us she's retiring.

4. IN TWO WEEKS.

5. Are you aware how much harder it is to get into an affordable daycare with an un potty trained child? No? A LOT harder.

6. Beware the caps. Shit's been going down.

7. In happy news, we had a truly beautiful 3rd Birthday party. The first real one we've thrown.

8. I'd share photos, but my computer decided to join the make life difficult for Barb club.

9. Allergies are plaguing the house.

10. E told me I couldn't kiss his belly anymore. :( "just my cheek mommy."oh my God, I don't think I'm ready for this.

11. I'm really thinking about observing a Quaker (Friends) meeting. Seriously. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

12. I have a few relatives who would, I'm sure, feel that I've been seduced by the Devil because it's what I want to hear. But they still love me. I'd almost rather they just denounce me as a sinner and be done with it.

13. Once again in related news, I've deactivated my Facebook account. I may go back at some point, but it's most likely to be minus a few people and perhaps under a different name.

14. Happy Tuesday!

Birthday

And my baby is three.
