I've been meaning to blog all week, but something keeps getting in the way. It's not that I have nothing to say, it's just that I have to say so many different things that don't relate enough to make a cohesive post.
Perhaps a numbered list will do the job? I love numbered lists.
1. I went to a psychic this past week with Mikaele. It scared the hell out of me, but also gave me some things to think about. You can believe in that stuff or think it's crap, and that's fine, but she did tell me that Evan will be talking by the time he's four. And I didn't have to tell her he had a speech problem. I hope she's right on that count at least.
2. We are fairly certain that Evan is allergic to pineapples/pineapple juice. Not throat closing, rush to the hospital allergic, but stinky rotten diarrhea allergic. He had a diaper rash this week that would make most fellows cringe. We've stopped the juice we were giving him and the nasty poop stopped too, so we're not giving him pineapple anything anymore.
3. My kid is hilarious. One of his new things to do is to sit in his "reading nook" in his room. He has a little comfy chair there, and he'll sit down with a book from his collection and begin reading it out loud. He runs his finger under the words and makes gibberish noises, and turns the pages until he gets to the end. It's way too cute.
4. It's so damn cold. Evan and I went out this morning and the wind absolutely took our breath away. We've got the storm windows down now, and the flannel sheets and down comforter on the bed. I even got out Ev's winter coat from last year and what luck! It still fits. Now I just have to find a good hat.
5. We bought Evan one of those little trains with the wooden track yesterday (they were all Brio when I was small, but they seem to be everywhere these days). He's been so interested in them for several weeks now, but we were going to wait until Christmas because they are so expensive (and if it says Thomas the Tank Engine on it, add $30). But we happened to be out yesterday and saw a little starter set for $12, so we bit the bullet and brought it home. Evan is loving it so far, and I figure we can always add to it as he gets older. I love those kinds of toys. Imagination and near indestructibility.
6. I'm sure I have more to say, but I can't think of it right now. Mike's calling me from downstairs, so I'm off. I promise to try to write something better next time.
