I rarely listen b/c when the kids are around it's all: "Who is that? Who's talking? Who's that lady? Is that your friend? Who's that kid? Is that me when I was little? What's she talking about? Is she talking about me?" <BR/>But the kids are out of the house today (halle-loooooooo-jah!) and I'm "working." (I'm eating dark chocolate and listening to your blog and also "working.")<BR/>Anyway. I think our babies are always the babies. And they are cursed and blessed both by this. And our big kids are always our big kids, with the attendant blessings and cursings. <BR/>The baby always smells better (in comparison to the big kid) b/c the baby still has more of the sweet baby stink left on him (even when he's 4--the same age as the big kid when we could no longer smell it in him). And we notice their lisping more and their funny talk, whereas with the big one we notice the big words and the unbelievable smartness. Even though the little ones are just as smart.<BR/>My little one can pat like nobody's business. He can cuddle and squeeze and hug and pat your arm like a cartoon cherub. I'll bet the big one could do it too, but he's too busy zipping around on his bike and blasting off to the moon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-87045039283138905372008-01-11T14:23:00.000-05:002008-01-11T14:23:00.000-05:00Hi Catherine, Delurking to say congrats on your mo...Hi Catherine, Delurking to say congrats on your move (don't have an account at Disney Family so can't comment there).

I have 4 children, and my second, a girl, is only a few months older than Birdy. She always amazes me with her intelligence and personality, but it's true, the firstborn's achievements are more "celebrated" just because he's the first to do everything. Right now she;s SUPER EXCITED because she was invited to a party at Chucky Cheese's and her brother wasn't (it was from a little friend from school).

Recently we've realized that we use the phrase "jesus christ!" (as an expletive) much too often, since we've begun hearing it repeated back by our 5 year old. It really hit home at a Christmas gathering, when someone said "Jesus!" and our daughter added "Christ!" We're working on training her (and ourselves) out of it. But I have to admit the Christmas episode was pretty damn funny and I just had to share, after having read the comment to your previous post from the woman who was offended that Ben said "Oh my god."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-2961916986441849632008-01-03T11:43:00.000-05:002008-01-03T11:43:00.000-05:00Catherine, I'm commenting here, because I'm too l...Catherine, I'm commenting here, because I'm too lazy to sign in at Wondertime. Congrats on your new home. We too, moved from a condo (a lovely, light filled condo in LA with gigantic closets in every room) to a sweet gramma house in Vancouver, WA. It's got tiny bedrooms and no closet space, but it does have a large finished basement (where my son will play, but only if I walk him downstairs and flip on all the lights and hug him close first) and a lovely little yard. I had to laugh at all the little "omens" you got. That just naturally comes with older homes. But just think of the history, the life that has been lived under your roof. It bodes well.anniemcqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321843578386603574noreply@blogger.com
