\"\"<\/a>I’ve been kind of a wreck lately with a
\n persistent (chronic, says the doc) sciatica and too much mental
\n time on my hands to debate every minuscule decision I make.
\n Since when am I such a worrier?? But when I get too crabby I
\n try to step back and realize what a wonderful life I have. Food
\n in the cabinets, gas in the car (cars!), a nice, warm, safe
\n roof over my head. Life is good. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s been really neat watch Lex with our 3yr
\n old. He is so analytical and precise and she has such an
\n imagination. We made biscuits today and Lex and I always use
\n the alphabet cookie cutters. She wanted to use hearts and it
\n kind of threw Lex for a loop. Then she started insisting the
\n “V” cutter was a heart and the “D” was a window and he just
\n stared at her with such a “what the hell are you saying???”
\n kind of look. It was great. I think this is really good for
\n him. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Eve is on the go these days, and starting to let
\n go. I’ve seen her stand, unassisted, for several seconds before
\n plopping on her padded bum. You can also take her hand (just
\n one) and she will walk across the room with you. Assuming she
\n wants to go that way, of course :) Otherwise she plops right
\n down and keeps at whatever she was doing (like eating a book or
\n banging on the tv!) Tonight while we were reading bedtime
\n stories she was on my lap jabbering away, rubbing Lex’s head,
\n saying “gentle” (in her own way), and chewing on my face and
\n neck. She was so entertaining that I was having trouble reading
\n the stories. Fortunately Lex was equally amused and was holding
\n her hand and being playful. <\/p>\n

How is it
\n possible that I get so down?? (rhetorical question, of course,
\n I know the answers)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
