A friend used that phrase on Facebook this last week and I concur. I have a terrible cold and since I'm pregnant it is difficult to self medicate other than tylenol. So I sit with a box of kleenex, a big glass of OJ and a very sore throat thinking "stupid germs." I am glad though that (so far) I am the only one truly effected.
Des got his official induction to high school sports this last weekend. He went to his first football game and his first volleyball game. At football the spectators were far more intriguing for him than the game itself and we watched the pep band for a bit but could only stay for the first quarter as it was nearing bedtime and it was also getting chilly. The volley ball game he watched the action more than the audience but eventually it was too loud for him since the crowd cheers raucously after every point scored. We only stayed for the first game of the set.
I personally enjoy the high school sports - its fun to watch and, for me, its one of my only social outlets - even if I still don't know all that many of the families. This year, obviously, my attendance will be much lower than last year but Des and I will go when we can.
Des and I are in playgroup again regularly. I think he likes it - he talked for the first time at play group this last Thursday and everyone turned and stared at him and made comments. It was nothing unusual (he "said" what he is always "saying" at home) but he's never been vocal at playgroup because everyone else there is vocal. It'll be interesting to see what happens when he can walk well enough to run with the "big boys."
Marc and I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in our memory collection of the first born: The older he gets the more videos and fewer pictures appear on the camera each week. Most likely because instead of trying to catch a picture of the event we try to capture the actual event in its entirity. So I have made a concious effort to try to get more pictures of everyday life instead of just trying to get video of the exciting events.
#2 is doing well - as active and 'intrusive' as Des was - which convinces me that it is a boy as well but we shall see in December... A lot of people are rooting for a girl. =) And who's to say that a girl wouldn't be as (or more) rambunctious? =)
