What you might

What you might overhear at our house these days is one mommy interacting with her not-yet-2 year-old saying such things as; "Gentle buddy...oh yes that bug is very big-don't eat the bug!...dirt. Yeah dirt!, don't eat the dirt!...gentle buddy, don't poke the baby's eye, gentle buddy, yes, that's nice, you're very sweet to share your juice with Luke, yes he sees the dirty diaper too." What you might also see at our house these days is one certain slightly frowny 2.5 month old lighting up with an enormous grin for one certain mommy who displays all sorts of idiocy for that smile. You may also see that mommy walking circles and squares and circles and squares with her fussy baby just before he naps which he's doing more and more on his own and without complaining (yippee!).

What you may want to know... is that grandma and grandpa Spotts are on their way for a 12-day visit! They are in the air and will arrive at 2:00 a.m. Thank you hubby for doing the dirty, I mean, early work of airport pick-up.

Shane's First ER. A worse day for the 'rents.

Shane had his first ER visit. He, of course, was fine 10 minutes after he tripped and gave himself a good open gash in the chin. Mommy and daddy, however were scattered and confused until a few phone calls were made, a doctor was seen, and some flesh-glue was applied to the wound. He was all giggles and squeals while we bit our nails and wondered if the scar would last not only on his skin but on his heart too (dramatic, I know!!!). But we all survived and though we hope not be be frequent friends of the ER experience, at least that's one visit down... how many more to go!??
