My Our Parents are *TOTAL* Nerds: News...

Well, not too much news to report, which is good, I suppose. Riley has chilled out on his biting a bit at his new school- he was THAT kid, biting when he didn't get attention and/or something got his diaper in a bunch. But, our little Hannibal Lector has seen the light and is down to about 1 bite/week. The potty has gone by the wayside, but we're not pushing it as he'll know when he's ready. New fascinations include shadows (sometimes they terrify him but usually they intrigue him, especially in the wee hours of the morning), corn (but of course, only at school), pumpkins, juiceboxes, plums, birthday parties, and my expanding belly. He will laugh at me if sees me changing in and out clothes- it's a real confidence booster, really. He's talking like a mad man, which is pretty cool, but Jim and I have learned to abhor the word "Please".
For example:
Riley: SIT UP, Mommy
Me: but mommy has a terrible cold and is so tired and Diego is making her ears bleed a slow death (ok, I don't really say this but I'm thinking it)
Riley: PLEASEeeeeeeeee, Mommeeeeee, SIT!
Me: OK (grumble, grumble, grumble)
*He does the same with Jim..and Jim has had a bum knee as of late but Riley will still say Please and then they're both dancing around like idiots.

A couple of days ago (I was unfortunately on my way to work already, Riley pulled Jim into our computer room and told him "I WANT TO DANCE!!". ha ha ha.

Big weekend this one coming up- it is birthday MADNESS, with Dylan & Olivia both turning 4, Blake (or "Blakey" as Riley calls him) turning 1, and Uncle Woods turning 30ish...hee hee. We will be covering mass quantities of highway from Saturday to Sunday, but excited to see a whole slew of our friends and family.

Here's some recent pics of a recent playdate with the Catalanos and pumpkin picking!
