The wolverine is into turning things over. Its his current "thing". Today he turned over the rocking chair in the bedroom. HE pushed it around for awhile and then realized he could climb up on it. He laughed, he squealed, he enjoyed this new discovery under mommys watchful eye UNTIL he slipped and his leg got caught in the slats that make up the back to the chair. At first i thought he was laughing..and maybe he was...but once he realized he was stuck he went into panic mode. He thrashed about like a trapped animal and would scream at frustration when he couldnt get his leg free. I was trying to help, but mainly had to focus on keeping him from wrenching his leg around making it worse or breaking it. It finally slipped out and he howled and cried and found comfort in mommys bosom for awhile. I had never seen him like that before. He WAS the wolverine...leg trapped...instinct set to flight. IM glad i was there to calm him down....but i think we have reached a new level of CRAZY in our house. Im not totally confident in my ability to calmly navigate these next several months as we sail towards two.
Dont ya hate earworms......those songs you hear and then CANT get them outta your ear. The Bon Jovi/Sugarland duet "Who says ya cant go home...." has been circling in my mind like a vulture ever since this morning....Thanks honey!
Lunch with a friend is a wonderful respite from motherhood. Just two gals, no kids, no diaperbags, no husbands......chatting, eating. Of course the crying baby three tables away kept interfering ....its like once your a mom you have the mom equivalent of the "Spidey sense" (Spiderman/ comic book reference for you non-geeks). A baby cries and my head starts to tingle (or in the early months your breasts let down milk) and then i wonder how i can help the baby find contentment again. Kudos to the daddy who brought his baby girl to "guys lunch". Just 3 guys, their beers, and baby girl. The hubby will be glad to know he isnt the only "modern dad" in Lexington.
GOSSIP PAGES ARE FULL OF Gwyneth and her "alleged" Guiness beer. First of all who really cares. And second if you do care and youve been pregnant before you know a beer aint gonna kill or harm the baby. Its not like shes guzzling back a 40 or doing tequila slams.....its a BEER for goodness sake. Let it go.

I need some gossip sites. All of mine are saved on my other computer that is on a ship in the middle of the ocean right now :)
Glad you could get out :)
I am stressed about the twos and the closer we get the harder it seems it's going to be.
