"Can I Have Some Coffee?"

This seems like such a reasonable request for someone to make at 6:00 in the morning on a Monday. Reasonable, until I tell you that the person making said request is my 22-month-old son. He is clearly his mother's offspring. And I have to say that I'm very proud of the fact that he's stringing 5 word sentences together before he's even 2, and I can't wait until the doctor asks me about his vocab development cuz I'm going to BRAG BRAG BRAG.

I just hope the doctor doesn't ask what he actually said. I mean, coffee at 22 months? I think I was at least 3 before my mom started letting me have coffee.

Dark Confession #1

On monday in my class at the gym, we were working out with body bars. Body bars are metal bars about 4 and 1/2 feet long that weigh 18 pounds. For about 10 seconds after picking it up, all I could think about was how nice it would feel to beat the crap out of someone with it.

Caden Update

As you can see, Caden is still living up to his WCBITW title, although I think that now he is "World's Cutest Boy in the World" instead of "World's Cutest Baby in the World".

His latest words are:

Samuari (Pronounced samah-RIE)

Yoga (This was on ONE page of ONE book out of the hundreds we read, and he latched onto it)

Fizzy Water (Pronounced pizzy waddah)

He's very into announcing whatever he's doing. "I'm running!", "I'm jumping!", "I'm peeing!".

Just 2 days ago he was playing on the bed as Pete and I were getting ready for work, and all of the sudden he shouted, "Daddy, watch me!". We both just died on the spot. It seemed like a big milestone for some reason. That's such a little kid thing to say. He's not a baby anymore.

Bring on 2008!

This year, I resolve to do the following:

1. Start my own successful business which is both stimulating and flexible, allowing me to spend more time with my child- all the while earning just as much if not more money than I make right now.

2. Reduce my carbon footprint

3. Halt the aging process happening on my face

4. Go to the gym (okay, this is a cheater. I already go to the gym and have no plans to stop. I just wanted something that I can cross off the list.)

5. Buy organic

6. Remember to send birthday cards (Except I already forgot my sister Cathy, who's birthday is today. oops!)

7. Moisturize

8. Stop buying clothes at Target

9. Put my wedding photos into an album

10. Have another baby

I'm sure I'll be able to do all of this stuff, no problem.
