He's done it! He saw the camera, he looked right at it, and he SMILED! It is so exciting. For so long it was that deer in the headlights look. He does like riding around in the grocery cart. He likes the colors and the people and especially the balloons. Sometimes we take one around with us while we shop and then drop it off before we leave. Notice the booties, very colorful from Guatemala.
He's currently sleeping. Ahhhhh. I will be soon. Friday night, pish posh. I worked today at the toy store, which was fine. I like it. It's pretty low key. My co-worker Joy and I have started a tradition of Friday Pie Day. There's a coffee shop on the corner three doors down that serves a delicious variety of home made pies. They usually have at least a dozen types to choose from. Today I had pear, ginger and dark chocolate pie (that's all in one slice). It was fantastic. Joy had banana cream, the same as last week. She likes the cream pies. I'm not so into it. I like the crust. Last week I had a traditional apple, with caramel. Very tasty.
Working at the toy store is a nice break from mommyhood. I get dressed up, high necks and dangly earrings. I've even made some new mom friends! There's some normal moms out there amidst all the crazy ones. I swear, so many crazy moms. Freaky deeky obsessives. And spoilers at that, they bring in their kids and they're fighting and throwing fits. Behavior I think warrents an immediate withdrawel from toy land. These moms? Oh no, they still buy them crap!
A quote from today, "Stop fighting you two! Now, which one do you want, the dinosaur or the killer whale?" Kid: "Both!" Crazy Mom: "Ok."
What the who ha. Bunsy will not be such a terror.
He hung out with my roommate while I worked. Then we went out and had delicious dinner with Lovely Lisa at Rumpspankers. I know, it sounds dirty, but it's just a really tasty neighborhood restaurant. I will bring you when you visit. Just try and say it without smiling. Rumpspankers. Ha.
I've got some tests coming up for my classes again this week so I have been hitting the books. I'm in the home stretch and soon I will be able to watch a movie. I want to see Vicky Christina Barcelona.
Today I went to the mall in the morning and sat in the vibrating chairs at Brookstone for a bit. Sooo nice. If anyone has an extra one of those I will take it. It massaged the feet, the calves, the butt. Ezra fell asleep. So nice. There's an ice skating rink in the mall and he really likes watching the skaters.
Yes, he's doing quite well. With the exception that he has completely lost his interest in food. Remember when he used to lunge for anything that anyone was eating? Over it. He hasn't wanted to eat anything for 3 days. He sucks on crackers and today was sort of eating some sticky rice off his sweatshirt. He's got his bottom two teeth and the top two are coming soon so I wonder if that's it. I'm glad he's a chunk of change or else I'd be more worried. He can live off those cheeks for a week or so. But he doesn't sleep as well and he's in general crankier. This is why my job eating pie at the toy store was a bit of a relief today.
I'm putting off studying. Oceanography is turning out to be a lot less interesting than I thought. It's like when you take the Astrology class thinking you're going to learn all the constelations and then it's just a bunch of calculations. I don't want to know the salinity of the sea! I want to know about the crazy huge waves!
I had thought perhaps being an Oceanographer was for me. Nah. Chelsea Cousteau. Nah.
My other class is extreemly interesting however. Evolution of life. We're at dinosaurs. Dino fun fact: Stegasaurus used all those plates on its back to get rid of heat, as a way to cool themselves.
Now you got something to talk about around the water cooler.
Other exciting news, I have switched my part! It was from right to left for years and years but now my hair has taken a drastic move.
Ok this is getting super mundane. Isn't there some other random news to scratch up...
the moon is full, the rug needs vaccuuming, the next door neighbors ALWAYS have their blinds closed and I imagine what they're doing in there (meth lab, naked parties), ok you're excused.
To take our dishes over to the festivities we borrowed Ezra's stroller.
Ezra wore his Chinese vest and was possibly the best dressed. Here he reclines with Kristine and Jason pre-dinner. P.S. Jason is our friend who invited us over, it's his house.
Another one of the men of the house (there are 3) this is Brye, the tallest of the household members. He cooked up some mean dinner rolls and still had time for Tumpky Wumpky.
I wore a necklace and Ezra was obsessed with it. I had plenty of reading material to distract myself from the hunger pains (they said we'd eat at 2, we didn't sit down til 4!).
My favorite shot! Ezra got his hands on this Uke and was thrashing! Doing the splits too, he is a true rock star. One shoe as he favors.
Look at the curve of that cheek!
Gets some attention from Brye.
Does a quick 180 to get some lovin' from Sarah.
Monty the Moose oven mit is an old favorite. Look at those rosy cheeks!
After the feast. So delicious. Ezra ate a lot of mashed potatoes and stuffing. He took a nap promptly after dinner. A complete success.
