I have to record this moment for posterity...
Owen was in his jammies and waiting for Aron to put him to bed tonight, so he got into his music drawer, grabbed his xylophone and a drum stick, brought it to me on the futon and started playing it. Aron walked to the bedroom and said 'C'mon Owen, let's have milk and go to bed." So Owen jumps up, turns around, grabs his xylophone and his drum stick, puts them back in his music drawer, and runs in the bedroom.
Wow.
When he fights with me about cleaning his room or picking up his toys or whatever, I am going to have to remind myself of this beautiful moment of spontaneous cleanliness. It was so lovely, I almost cried.
a teeny blurb about me
- another clueless mom
- I am a 32 year old first time mom who is continually shocked at how much those baby books and doulas and midwives don't tell you about having and raising kids...let me tell you, it's a lot!

Newbie
There is going to be a new baby in the house in several months. This means a few things will happen:
1.) I will have more "Holy crap how did I not know about that?!" moments to share with you, because every baby and every pregnancy is different (although so far this one is pretty much living up to my expectations...)
2.) I will begin navigating the new and terrifying world of having-more-than-one-kid, and I will probably be freaking out and totally exhausted for a few months at least.
3.) I will be trying to figure out how to make the transition from only child to older brother as smooth and painless as possible for Owen, who clearly enjoys the lavished attention he gets as an only child, but who also clearly loves playing with other kids and trying to poke little babies.
I am not tooooo horribly worried about any of these things, but I figure it's all going to make for some interesting blog posts, which my poor sad blog has been lacking lately.
On a side note, all of these things make me miss my mom real bad. There's all kinds of stuff I wish I could ask her, or bounce off of her and get her thoughts, and it sucks that she's not accessible.
