The nap strike that has kept me in a fog for the past week has apparently abated for the time being. Thank goodness, because Mommy without downtime is a frightening thing. Just ask my children.
Is winter almost over? Come on, snow, you can go somewhere else. This is why I don't want to live in "Alaska" with my parents. I don't do snow very well. I like it for Christmas, and by New Years I want it to be spring. Reminds me of my former job, the greenhouse. Oh, how I loved working in the greenhouses. I remember one spring break that I worked the entire week, and only left the greenhouse to eat. It was amazing. Potting soil smells great after a winter of bleach and red, green, pink and white (Christmas and Valentine's Day in the same season? Come on!).
Ooh! Big news! I'm going to start teaching Aiden to read! I was talking to his speech therapist, and told her about all the words that he can spell. She said to go ahead and get him started reading the correct way, because his interest level is so high that it might be easier to do it now. I'm so excited! (Can you tell by all the exclamation marks in this paragraph?) Move over, Einstein, my sweet, handsome and brilliant son is moving on up!
Ok, now that I've bragged on him enough for this post, I can tell you that Parker is starting to talk! (Warning: More exclamation marks ahead.) He says mama, dada, papa (Parker) schlah (nice) mo (more or milk) and ball! I think he is frequently trying to imitate what I say, also, but it's not quite as consistent. But my baby is talking! I can't believe how grown up he is already!
Enough rambling. Cleaning now. Bleah.
