back to business

After a short breather of 7 months I think I'll get back to this blogging thing. A couple nights ago there was a journal-worthy incident that I had to write down, and after it was written I couldn't help but flip back through the polka-dotted book where I write down all the gems, or at least some of them, that come out of those unpredictable little mouths. But alas, you'll have to wait for the most current entry, as I decided I would just start at the beginning of that journal- July 2007- and make my way through it until I am current on this blog. So the kids you'll read about here are two-and-a-half years younger than they are now. Some of the entries will be funny, some sweet, some just written down so I never forget the mayhem of the first few years, but it will give me a great sense of relief to have this treasure chest of things they've said and done recorded somewhere else than a little journal that could be lost or destroyed. I hope you have as much fun as I do. July 2007: Jackson (age 2) kept getting out of bed one night, so finally David let him lay in our bed with him while he read. Jax laid his head on David's chest and said "Daddy, I love you SO much." A few minutes later I came up, David told me what Jax had just said to him, and then he looked at me and said "Mommy, I think you're so precious"- OH MY WORD. I thinked him and then crawled up beside him to snuggle for a minute. He continued, "Mommy, I think you're so cute." I was thinking he'd just landed himself a lifetime pass to Mommy and Daddy's bed whenever he wanted. August 2007: I was putting away clothes in our bedroom and Mia (age 2- almost 3) was watching me. Pretty soon she picked up a hanger of her own along with a pair of Jackson's Diego underwear and proceeded to thread the top of the hanger through one of the legholes. As she hung it on there she sang, "Won't you be? Won't you be? Please won't you be my neighbor?"
