It’s been 4 years since we became a family, and it feels like it’s gone by in the blink of an eye.  That seems to be a common theme among parents, how quickly time flies.  Once a squishy baby, now he’s all long legs and elbows, but he will still cuddle and sit on my lap.  Those are moments I hope continue for a long time.

Has it really been since March? So much has happened since then, most of it pretty lousy. 2009 in general has been the Year of Craptacular Suckage.

He’s growing up in such a different world than ours. Technology is a part of his everyday life. He loves playing games on the computer and asks to send his Daddy email during the day. Over a bagel at Panera 2 weeks ago he asked me to “text Daddy and tell him I dressed myself”. Today in the car listening to the radio he would like both Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand and I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones to be songs on Guitar Hero. He’s played it a few times with his cousins! And we thought the Atari was the most exciting thing ever. Kids these days…

Resolution: Will try to post more frequently; funny stuff happens every day, it’s just a matter of taking/making the time to write.

“C’mon, General Grievous,  it’s time to get in the car to go to preschool.”

Yes, he was running around pretending to be General Grievous.

P and I take turns reading in the bedroom while Little Guy falls asleep.  Tonight was my turn.

Little guy said “are you going to sit and read?”

Me: “Yes, I will.”

LG: “Why? “(EVERYTHING gets a WHY these days!)

“Is it because you love me?”

Oh yes, sweetie, I do.  More than you know.

We went out Sunday night in Philly to see Matt Hales aka Aqualung do a show sans band-he was incredible! We had a great night and got to meet him at the end.  He is incredibly talented, and we’re all enjoying his new album.  Little Guy likes his music too!

Not sure why I can’t embed the picture slide show…but it’s going to be an interesting year!  Little Guy was not thrilled the times I needed to be out of the room doing my co-op duties, dissolving into big tears twice.  We’ll get there, slowly but surely.  His teacher is fine with moms needing to stay for a while to ease the transition.
