• Bug,  Life Lessons,  Slow News Day

    here’s to a million firsts

    I know I’ve said this about eighty times already but I think one of the most wonderful things about having a kid is going through all the “first times” with them. Life is full of wonder again. From the first time she discovered that toilet paper unravels, to blowing out a dandelion, to learning how to turn the water faucet on and off and banging cupboard doors open and shut, open and shut… it’s all so much fun. Having kids makes it easier to get old, I think. I’m not so afraid of the future any more. I’m excited about it.

    sunny days

    You know things are going good when you have nothing else to talk about but the weather. Either that or I just don’t really feel like talking about those deep dark secrets right now. But really, things are going great. The weather too.

    It’s terribly unnerving to have a toddler who’s walking. Everywhere I look, there she is. Out of the corner of my eye I see a little person propelling in strange directions she never went before. Just like you all said, she’s finding all kinds of new things to get into. Like this for example. (sorry firewall guys, another youtube movie)

    I’d also like to point out that Baby Bug did not inherit my short waist. Looks like she’s taking after her dad in the pants department. (And yes, her shorts are too big.)
