Violet is still talking, talking, talking - always shouting "watch me, mom!" or "look at this!" as she spins around and somersaults. And I better be looking. I know she's ready for some structured dance or gymnastics classes. She's also always asking me questions like "what happens if I don't cut my toenails?", or "what happens if I don't brush my teeth?", or "what will happen to me if you leave me in the car?". I find it hard not the abuse my power.
We went to the beach yesterday and she got a leech on her ankle. I had to fight the urge to scream obscenities, but she was totally cool about it. I managed to walk calmly over to the lifeguard and ask for some salt, and then we all laughed about how it squirmed away (shudder!) when the salt touched it. She's so cool.
Jem, that sweet snuggly boy, is cruising around and climbing up on everything. He says mama and dada, cat and hi! He eats more then Violet. It's so nice to have a kid that eats.
I started to try and wean him, but it's going to be a long road. He is very attached to me (although he's much less shy now), to nursing, and refuses to suck on a bottle.
So, that's were we're at. Looking forward to tackling some home improvement projects that our marriage might not survive, a week at a cottage, more family reunions and enjoying our time together.
xo, and hope to see you this summer!
