I have been hoping for a moment of witty-ness to share with you today, but nothing is coming to mind. I guess this will just be a normal post. Oh well.<\/p>\n
Eric took yesterday off because he was just too tired and felt bad. So he took a day to recover and play with babies. It was nice to have him home for the day. And I got to run a couple of errands, sans babies, during nap time. Yay!<\/p>\n
My errands involved trying to find some clothes for my poor Alex, especially dress clothes for church. I have tons for Erin, but I really have to scrounge some days for the boy. And I hear that doesn’t get better as boys get older. Sigh. <\/p>\n
But that unfairness also raises another issue…<\/p>\n
Rant Warning<\/p>\n
Why is it, I wondered on my errands yesterday, that as soon as March hits, children’s clothing goes from fleece to short-sleeves (for boys) and no sleeves (for girls) with no in between? Why is that?!? I mean, seriously, are girls not allowed to wear short-sleeved shirts? And why weren’t there even sweaters or jackets out for covering those bare arms? Who decides on these things?!? Why should my children freeze just because someone in NYC doesn’t have any common sense? Okay, I feel better now…<\/p>\n
End Rant<\/p>\n
We have discovered that Alex is a totally visual little guy. He will not make animal sounds back to a picture. But if the real thing is there…he can make the sound like a champ. If you are blowing bubbles, he can name them. But not if he’s looking only at the bottle of bubble stuff. Eric describes is as “his eyes outweigh his ears.” He’s such a boy. <\/p>\n
My children have started experimenting with throwing things. We encouraged it when they were throwing balls. Now, however, they have moved up to books and other toys. It’s going to take some time, I think, to teach them that balls can be thrown, but nothing else. And in the meantime, the number of bruises they give each other may just go up.<\/p>\n
I just had to pause in my blog to “rescue” Alex who had pulled my water cup off the bedside table, all over the floor and himself. He was pretty wet, poor guy. It’s not the first time this has happened. I may have to start using a capped water bottle for nighttime sipping.<\/p>\n
Okay, I need to go dress my children who are currently running around in only diapers. Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
