Nothing sweeter than Sugar

So I have tons of things to blog about - specifically how thankful and blessed I have been; but when I think about it I'm too worn out to post them right now (those types of posts take thinking power). I will - just give me a week or so.

But I had to tell you about our adventure tonight. We are loving GGma & GGpa's house. The food - amazing & also bad for me because my 10-year reunion is in a couple of weeks (& I want to look fab). The temperature - perfect, I even had to use a blanket last night it was so cool. The company - great. John is working all hours so it's nice to have live-in adult conversation. And Buddy is just having a blast with all the things he can get into.

He has been an awesome eater since we got here yesterday afternoon. Loves fried zucchini & thinks he wants to try raspberries every time he sees them, but spits it out (even if it has sugar on it) as soon as he puts it in his mouth.

We went to the school today. Buddy didn't want to waste time going on the baby slide - nope he just kept climbing up to the big boy twisty slide. I was worried because I couldn't be @ the top to turn him around & @ the bottom to catch him, but I just told him to "turn around" and he did & went down all by himself about 1/2 a dozen times (only once head first). He loved it & I was amazed how big my little guy is getting.

He also discovered a use for the baby slide - throwing gravel/rocks on it. "It's fun to get dirty mom & look at all the mess I’m making." :)

He is now saying "Da Da", "Ma Ma" (just the last couple of days in relation to me), "Hi" (when he picks up something that looks like a cell phone), "Ball", and I'm pretty sure "Dog" (although it still sounds a lot like "Da", he says it when he hears or sees a dog).

I am tired from having to chase him (or be his jungle gym - depending on the moment), from cleaning, from the emotional process of saying "goodbye" (or "see you later"- because I hate goodbyes), and thinking about our upcoming weddings in August. But I promise I'll be better @ posting & I do have some drafts saved (just not finished) of things I want the cyber world (and all my fans) to know.

But for now..... g'night!
