I can't believe it!
Yes, you.
How can this be?

She wouldn't leave the hospital to eat dinner because you were on your way. She knew. You were there shortly and crying for some food.

Wasn't it just yesterday that you were 1 month old and I rocked you to sleep in your bedroom during my birthday party. I made up your song that night. You gave your stamp of approval by going to sleep as soon as I was done composing it :)

You've been so much fun to play and learn with through the years.

Now
You are taller than me ... no surprises there
You have a FIT ... a very cool, stylish car ... just like you
You're on the varsity volleyball team ... congrats on last night, BTW
You're really cool to hang out with ... especially since you'll play Nertz or Scrabble or whatever

You know what today is going to be?
Shopping for your present
What will it be?
You know 16 is a VERY SPECIAL day :)

So off to shop. And then we'll be making some gelato
phyllisophical_momYou are such a cool aunt! 
laughing_eyes^ I learned from the best on how to bond with kids 
dwatkinsOooh! I want to make gelato too! I'll leave right now. See you at 2:00 a.m.! 
nikyes thanks that sounds good

London Story 0.0.0.3982xy; Hans Story 93.0+6 09-05-08 01:07pm CST
I was going to leave then Cherry asked me to stay for lunch. While we were eating...
London: I was crying upstairs
Cherry: Why were you crying?
I was puzzled because while I was up there he didn't cry. Must have happened when I came downstairs. As it turns out, it was because I was leaving.

As I was really getting ready to leave...

London: I don't like it when friends who are cousins aren't close

I'm about ready to walk out the door, and London is REALLY sad. Put him on my lap.
Me: London, let's think about all the fun things we did together today. Sidewalk chalk. Then chase outside. We hid from Aunt Charlotte and Linda. We played bionics and balls. We ate lunch together.
By this time he's some happier.

Hans was having allergies. At first he only wanted Mom. But eventually he was in a sunny mood. Such a sweetie. He has 2 teeth that peek out when he grins.

txmomToo sweet! :) 
jerzgirlFun days! 
derbydiSounds like a good visit! 
theauntSo you hid with London! So much for not hogging the boys! :) 
laughing_eyes^ well, it was fun. :) we hid on the side of the house. actually i stood there and he hid behind me. Then he had the pleasure of jumping out and yelling like a "monster." Quite fun.

C: Your mom and Linda are coming over Friday to see the boys.
You could come ... but ... you CAN'T hog the boys (grin).
Me: (thinking) Who me?! (innocent look and grin)
textiletCherry needs to have more boys so there will be more to go around! 
scrappyhappymamaYes, but will the boys hog you? 
adamandjessesdad:-) 
jerzgirlDid you tell her, "No promises."? 
derbydiHa ha! 
theauntCan you help it if the boys are mysteriously drawn to you? I think not! 
littlebitI'll check with Fred but I don't see why not... let me know the details and I'll be sure to bring my cinnamon roll ingredients :-)

starting over 09-02-08 09:24pm CST
Today began a new semester of "open" swim
In about 20 minutes I did
- 0.24855 miles, or
- 400 meters, or
- 437.445 yards, or
- 1,312.34 feet
most of it backstroke
I like the "1/4 mile" the best
It sounds longer than the others

now I'm off to do some cooking

Was this a Mon/Tues for anyone else?
sam_eduI can always make occasions for making ice cream. :) 
nomesIt was a Monday. Yeah for swimming 
jerzgirlI never learned to swim. :(
