August 10th

From seeds we grew those flowers!  I don't think I"m ever going to tire of fully grown flowers growing out of seeds.  They're so pretty!  Yay!

So you, Sir, are not a happy man these days.  Your second top tooth just popped through, so hopefully that's what's been going on - though - I kind of imagine more than one is working its way through the jaw bone or something - you're never this cranky.  Maybe it's teeth in conjunction with knowing what you want but not having the language for it - that seems to be happening a lot too.  You want something to happen and when it doesn't you throw whatever it is that didn't work as expected down and say "NO!"  Then walk over, pick it up and the whole scene repeats itself.  Kiddo, I wouldn't be a toddler again for all the money in the world.  Not true. Money would actually be lovely...but just about anything else I wouldn't do it for.  All things considered I actually think you're doing the growing up thing fairly gracefully.  

Things I loved about today:

1) You and "the streets" (sidewalks...of Lower Merion shopping centers)

2) You and mirrors

3) You and Rosie

4) Yapple

5) You (finally) sleeping

6) You deciding that you can dose out your own meds

7) You dancing with your pants

8) You and Abby Cadabby... (which I believe makes me "that" parent...)

I adore you you cranky cranky little crab apple...
