Thanksgiving

I have now spent Thanksgiving with white people, Puerto Ricans, and now black people.

One thing is the same throughout. Music and dancing. My family gets together and does an interprative dance number to the Dixie Chicks, Landslide. Puerto Ricans dance the salsa and play instruments along with the radio. The black family pumps up Beyonce, does some line dances, then slows things down with Barry White.

Funny, how its the same thing in each house going on.

He really does listen

Tonight on our walk, I was explaining to Josh that it was finally happening. I always tell him leaves on green, but they are going to change and fall. So, all red leaves on the ground. I said see Josh, look at the leaves.

with that he waits till we are under a tree and points up to the leaves and makes a noise.

So, there you have it. He's been listening, leaves are on trees.

Adventures in Babysitting....

Tonight, we had our new little friend over to get to know us before he is dropped off tomorrow. I like to think Josh just had a strong interest in this kid's head, but the way he kept smacking it makes me wonder.

Toy sharing and refereeing. The little boy goes right down to sleep...2 hour naps twice a day. Our new friend is going to show us how its done. Josh...its boot camp time.

Night 8 of no sleep. Tylenol was already admistered tonight before our walk. Getting ready to put him down now.

For my mother, Leo also saw the big one coming in in the back of his mouth. lol...

So....Leo came home from his stint away wanting us to go out to eat...that explains my dinner.

Baby Boy turning 10 months old...

Tomorrow is double digits. Ten months old. When I was ten months old my mother was entering her third trimester.

We were at a playdate today. A ten month old was walking all over the place. When others were crawling a few weeks ago, I pushed Josh to crawl. I guess because that's what babies do...crawl. But walking? Once he walks, in that second he goes from baby to big boy.

Another mom of a 4 month old was there. She had to leave early since she was nursing. She was shocked that I still nurse and I am able to go to all these events. She wants to know when it gets easier. I told her the 3 month mark then the 8 month mark. Honestly, I wanted to tell her its when you come to terms with the fact that this is your job and chore. Go sit in your car for 20 minutes and come back to hang with us. By going home you are only making yourself a prisoner. But I didn't, I said nice meeting you...see you soon.

10 months breastfeeding. 10 months breastfeeding this allergy baby. 10 months of wearing breast pads daily. 10 months of having sex while lactating. 10 months of extreme thirst. How can these be the fastest 10 months that have ever gone by...but at the same time the longest ten months ever?????

When I die....

I am coming back as your child. No one has it better then that baby of yours.

That's what my 70-something year old neighbor told me yesterday. Tucky Lee. Until yesterday, she was just Tucky. She said she always wanted to be Tucky Lee, she realizes its a little late in the game, but if I could call her that she would love it.

For a compliment like that Tucky Lee, I shall refer to you as your majesty.
