Week to Weak
June 19th, 2009I am sunburned. My back is KILLING me. And I feel like I haven’t slept in years. Oh, and also? I’m having the time of my life.
A toddler is so much WORK and so much FUN. The imitation quadruples every day. She likes to “clean” things with a sponge or washcloth. These things do not include her face, BUT she will randomly sponge off her feet in the middle of the living room from time to time. When the phone rings, she puts her hand to her ear and announces, “Ha-wah.” Today she distinctly said “bubbles” and “David.” Yesterday she did not go down for her nap until SIX-THIRTY. At the Zimmer yesterday, she refined her methods for stalking and touching other children. Today at the beach, she wanted to play in the water a lot. Without being shown the game of run-away-from-the-water-as-it-comes-in, run-toward-the-water-as-it-goes-out, she began to play it. She wanted to sit in the way of the water. She wanted to put sand in her mouth and then grin up at me as she tried to push it out with her tongue.
I would write more, but I can barely move my fingers. I would say I could count on help from Steve when he gets home from work, but he took one for the team last night when the kid woke up and wanted a snuggle-buddy, and bunked with her in the single bed in her room. He is a wonderful, wonderful man.
And here are some photos!

What all did you take to the beach? There is barely enough room for the kid in the wagon! Kidding! Lover the photos……
I am so loving your mom/bob life stories……
Is David aware he is one of her first words!

The pictures are just too cute for words. And that pink hat us HER!. I am surprised that she keeps it on. Erica and Dani never would.
Grandmothet and I can not wait to get our hands on her. I can she and Grandmother wading in tidal pools.
They are a handfull at this age, but that is just to get you in shape for the 2-3-4-5′s. They go full throttle at those ages. Breathe now, but you will not be able to later.
