Time, Time Time

So you'll notice it's been a year since my last blog, OVER a year actually. Where the hell does the time go? I'll tell you... children are TIME SUCKERS. They suck time in amazing quantities and even more so if you're a working parent, which I am. You see, I want to spend all my non-working time (or have to just to get him fed, bathed & in bed) with him... so I do not want to get on my computer EVER anymore. But as I'm pregnant again, and starting a new blog for that, I thought I'd get this one moving again too.

William is now 2. TWO!!! He's a walking, talking, hitting, biting, testing, laughing, counting, singing toddler. The singing is hysterical. He sings his ABC's and then the last part comes out "Now My Know My ABC's...nes, murmer, murmer, murmer wiff meeeeee!". He also sings Twinkle Twinkle Little Star which comes out more "teen teen, teen teen wittel stars... how i, how i, murmer are! up aboff murmer high... like a dymon murmer skies". I just die laughing. The murmering when he doesn't know the words is killer.

I don't think children have any idea the amount of amusement they provide. Who needs TV when your toddler can sing "Teen, teen, teen, teen, wittel stars" at the top of his lungs OR go through the entire process of "putting you to bed" (this includes tucking mommy in, reading her a fable, turning off the light, turning on lullabyes and shutting the door) over and over and OVER. Toddlers are MASTERS of repitition. I think William's favorite word is "again?" Like when you swing him around even though you're too tired too and he laughs and says "again?" Or when you read a horribly cheesy kids book like Blues Clues: Blues Birthday party and he says "again" (5 times!). Or when you "bonk" yourself on the head with something and he laughs and says "again!" Yes, toddlers love the "again" request. Just make sure that whatever you've done to entertain them, you're willing to do AGAIN. And again and again and again... you get the picture.

Until I post AGAIN...
