My baby boy is becoming a toddler!!!

It was a little bittersweet that Kurt couldn’t see it.  We knew George wouldn’t likely wait until Daddy comes home in November

George is getting into everything now    He’s got 2 favorite’s that drive me batty:  1) he climbs up on the bathroom stool (2 steps) and turns on the water in the sink and plays with it   2) he climbs on the oven using the bottom drawer handle as a step, from there he can reach the burners, unless the oven opens first and sends him flying.

These things are driving me nuts.  I can’t get much done since he’s constantly moving between these two things and I spend all my time getting him down and/or trying to block him.  Its great that he’s so adventurous, but he’s cruising for trouble.  The floor in the bathroom and the kitchen is tile (ouch!).   I wish he’d be more careful since he can’t even walk yet or stand on his own very steadily.  He’s crazy!

  Her thoughts are always in amongst princesses, ballerinas, animals (expecially horses).  No matter what she is doing or saying, reality often takes sudden left turns into her vivid, and extremely detail oriented imagination.   I often think she is talking about something real, only to figure out that she is telling me an elaborate story she has dreamt up.  I love her creativity, I hope she keeps it forever. I especially treasure her capacity for unbounded joy.

It always makes me smile when she tells people (in complete seriousness) that she is going to be a princess ballerina veterinarian when she’s bigger. ~:o)
