....to do so many things. It seems that time moves twice as fast when you have two little kids. I am quite sure the month of May lasted exactly 78 hours. Someone said to me the other day that with two little ones "the days are long but the years are short," and it makes a lot of sense to me.
The one thing I have decided I must find more time to do is to blog, not for the benefit of anyone, but for my own memory. There are so many little thoughts that go through my head each day regarding Lucian and Abri that I simply must have a place to put them.
Case in point....Lucian did a face plant on the beach this weekend and came up with about a pound of sand in his mouth, and my immediate thought was....how in the hell do I teach a kid to spit out sand, swoosh water around in his mouth, spit again, rinse, and repeat till no more sand? Is that an instinct or a learned behavior? Who knows? So I found myself unable to impart this knowledge on my son and went with the tried and tested, stick my own sandy finger in his mouth to get out all the sand, forcibly hold his mouth open and rinse with bottled water and then try to get him to spit....I was standing on the beach saying "just spit like when you throw up...you know, BLAH, BLAH." Which believe it or not, kind of worked...but the day on the beach was over nonetheless.
And little Abri is so determined to crawl before she is 5 months old...she did an army scooch all the way across the living room yesterday....tummy time is not an issue with this one...I fear she will be walking by the end of summer and all hell will break loose in the Delo house.
At any rate, I plan to write more tidbits here....some might be interesting, some might not...but all are really so that in the lightning fast world of my children's lives, my 40-something memory has a place to document the little things.
