Challenge Fail

I am SO busy. Trying to make dozens of hair bows, clippies, and flower clips for a local store, friends, and a festival that I *might* have a booth at when we get home from Washington, D.C.

Speaking of D.C., our flight just got cancelled for Wednesday, so we're leaving Tuesday, which means one less day to get ready for Lillian's birthday... and all the hair accessories I'm trying to catch up on. Oh yeah, and packing.

As soon as we get back from D.C. we have another small trip to make for 3 days. We'll get home the day before Lillian's birthday party. ::insert freak out here::

I HAVE SO MUCH TO DO.

And while I'm stressing about this all, guess what we did tonight? No, I didn't work, or pack, or finish up decorations for Lillian's birthday. We went boating :). And Lillian got to see her mama wakeboard for the first time in 4 years. It was so much fun!

Things I don't want to Forget

I don't want to forget your high pitched "dadaaa da" when riding in the back seat.  The way you play "repeat" with me when we're riding in the car.  And how after I repeat you, you think it's necessary to be the loudest each time :).

I don't want to forget the way you scratch your head through your hair when you're tired.  You run your little fingers through your hair and it cracks me up every time.  Usually you're trying to find a bow.  If you find one you rip it out along with a few hairs and try to chew on it. It's cute that you remember to check daily for the bow that appears on your head.

I don't want to forget how in a room full of toys, you choose to crawl for any paper, extension cords, or picture frames on the TV stands.

I don't want to forget how easy it is to tell when you recognize someone.  You literally light up with joy when you recognize somebody (friends, family, therapists).  But when you see someone you don't recognize, you're instantly quiet and very aware of them. You study them trying to figure out what they are doing and why they matter to your existence. People at the store always comment on how attentive you are.

Delay Schmilay

Girlfriend is CRAWLING and she's right on target with it. Seriously, I have friends and family who's babies started crawling at the same time (and some later), right around 11 months. Totally typical non-delayed children. I'm so proud of her!

A Great Blog to Stumble Upon

Somehow I stumbled upon The Stir, a cafe mom blog.  There's an article called 9 Lifesaving Car Seat Rules You're Probably Ignoring that caught my attention.  It's a pretty good article and is also written with some humor.  Anyway, I was poking around the rest of the website and discovered one of the parents is a special needs mom.  She writes a column about her experiences called "Isn't That Special."  She has a sense of humor.... I like her :).  If you have a second, check out the website and poke around.  I guarantee you'll find something you like!
