We went to the beach today. Last year, Ethan enjoyed eating the sand one fistful at a time (and he won't eat a green bean?). Mackenzie was terrified that a scary shark would eat her so she wouldn't set foot in the water. Today, Ethan played in the sand and didn't gobble it up. And Mackenzie, well, she's still scared that a scary shark will get her but she did venture a little into the surf. She was also very concerned about Ethan getting carried away by the water. So she kept an extra set of eyes on him for me. We went to Ft. Lauderdale beach and with the cool playground and the shady picnic area it made for a really nice morning. Now it's raining. But at least we made it outside earlier. Laundry is calling me. I don't want to answer.
What am I going to do about my son? I thought maybe a sign around his neck that says-BEWARE OF BITING CHILD!! I'm trying to put this in perspective. This is not the worst thing that could be happening with him. He is not flunking out of school, planning on running away with his pregnant girlfriend or experimenting with weird drugs. He's two and he has a penchant for sinking his teeth in other people's skin. With a smile might I add!! Little people, litte problems... Thank goodness for understanding and gracious friends at church. I really am afraid to show my face in the nursery for fear that someone will hurl some insults at me about my parenting. (I'm partially kidding. tee hee) I'm anxiously awaiting the day when this stage will pass. Then on to the next stage. In the meantime he'll have to wear the sign everywhere we go.
When will the semester be over? Matt says this semester has flown by, but I say it is the slowest one yet! He has one more semester to go and will be done in September. September can't come quick enough!! Poor Matt. He's the one doing all the work and I'm doing all the complaining. He's at the library now with his group working on a project. Only 2 more weeks to go for this semester. I will be curious what this degree will do for him at work, as far as him moving up the "company ladder". We shall see. Until then, we will enjoy where we are. Funny, it's taken me 32 years to become content with So.Fla. I'm a little slow.
Me time? No, M.E. time, as in Mackenzie and Ethan time. Are we on the same page now? Good. Need some wine with this cheese? Yes. But how can you not be cheesy when you're the mom of these two little imps?? I tried the blogging thing on MySpace but I was a little leary of the press it was getting, so I thought I'd try this site. Hear that? That's me jumping on the bandwagon.
