"By the old, Mill Stream..."
So, on Friday, Charlie and his mommy came over to play with Buck and to have some coffee and pastries. Charlie and Buck have become 2 typical little boy friends - Buck whines and complains as they pull toys away from each other and they spend about 20 minutes wrestling and pulling. They chase each other around the house on riding toys and they dissappear downstairs in the basement until one of them gets stuck in the plastic riding horse. Then, after Rachel and I have gone downstairs to save them, they come running up again. The 2 mommies sit downstairs discussing which baby classes we're signing up for tomorrow and - all of a sudden - we hear laughing and shrieking and running upstairs.
When we come upstairs, Buck is splashing in the 1/2 inch of water covering the kitchen floor. Buck (and maybe Charlie, but we don't know) has emptied what was left in the water cooler (sans water bottle, so I thought the water was gone) all over the floor and proceeds to yell "I swimmin'" as he splashes. This was one of my first "shouldn't laugh but should be angry" experiences. I did give Buck a time out - for which he both screamed and then said he was sorry - but I had to leave the room from laughing.
This reminds me that I found a blog to read (it's hard to read them regularly, but I really like this one) in the latest edition of Good Housekeeping. The blog is Testosterhome.
Rachel Balducci has 5 boys - the youngest is about 2 months old, I think. If you have a house filled with boys, this is the blog for you! She's also published in the September GH, if you'd rather read her in that old-style way. If I was web-handy, I would put a link to her on my blog, but I am still too much of a newbie. Hers is a professional web-site and RKZ said I should be a professional blogger, but I think that not too many people would be interested in the day-to-day poop habits of a 2 year old boy (grandparents and poor family members aside!). Anyway, she's a good read.
This weekend was a doozy here at the Grady home. We went shopping for a birthday present for Buck (he's officially 2 on Thursday) and he ended up rejecting the cool bike I had all planned for him. We thought maybe it would be a better Christmas present. Buck spent 20 minutes playing with the Thomas the Train set at the shop, so we just broke down and bought more Thomas parts. At least Buck'll love them.
Later, RKZ put in a ceiling fan. Nothing like a giant wiring project to send fear into my life. Now, I just have to deal with a 2-year old who is obsessed with fans. He is currently upstairs flicking the light and fan on and off. He thinks it's a giant propeller. Loves of my son: Airplanes; anything that has to do with airplanes (ie. propellers & ceiling fans that look like propellers); trains (Thomas included); and outside.
Well, as Buck is currently walking down the stairs with a wooden train track saying "break off," I'd better go. No pictures until later.
Oh! the Canadian Safari Guide came over for dinner last night. It was so good to see CSG again. I didn't get any pictures, but I will next time. I'm actually beginning to reach out to other people again. Imagine.
