I took this from my friend Lisa's blog, but I figured she wouldn't mind.

Logic

Why is it so easy for a psychotic murderer to buy a gun or guns ...

yet...

I have to sign my soul to the devil and give my first born to get my baby some Sudafed at the Longs Pharmacy?

The Unknown

When you were a little kid, were you ever curious of what's behind that one door in your house that you were never allowed to open?

Chris, Reese and I shower in our bathroom every day. Anytime someone is in there taking a shower, Bailey sits right outside the door waiting for something to happen or someone to allow her in. She's not to go in there because she pulls the toilet paper roll until it's empty, not to mention there's a toilet in there. Icky.

How frustrating must it be to not be able to talk or communicate efficiently to say what you want or need from your parents. How do you satisfy your curiosity when they just won't let you go into the bathroom?

I know she wants to go outside and play with her brother.

Now that she can walk... soon she will be able to do just that.

Update

It's been a while! Work has been busy, posting anything at home is nearly impossible. So... I have a few minutes right now to write.

Let's see what's been going on around here...

Reese is now riding a 2 wheel bicycle thanks to his friend Sarah for helping him out. She's a kid down the street that goes to the Y after school. She's older, 3rd grader. Loves playing with Reese. Little tomboy-ish. That's ok, she's got good manners and make good dicisions. She sort of watches over Reese when they play together, like a big sister would. Her mom is great too.

What else is going on with Reese... OH YEAH... little man decided to WALK to school by himself yesterday.

BIG NO NO.

He thought he missed the bus when infact he was way too early and no one was out there yet. He decided he'd just walk to school by himself. When he told us he did that, Chris and both freaked out... there's a major intersection of Williams and Boynton he had to cross. He said there was plenty of people crossing with him so he wasn't scared. I'm really surprised he wasn't picked up by SJPD... a little too young to be walking to school by himself. He did have his backpack, school uniform on so he looked official.

Now that we're done freaking out....

Chris said he's old enough to figure it out .. and the fact that we ALL used to pull that crap on our parents when we were younger. I am really proud of him for being a problem solver and not scared to just take initiative. He thought he missed the bus, so he said ok, I guess I'm walking.

Anyway...

The other big news. Bailey is WALKING!!

Yes, she's taking a few steps on her own now. Wabbly steps, but that's how they start, right? She would take her steps, fall to her knees and just crawl to where she needs to go. It's much faster! She is trying to keep up with her brother afterall. I will post pictures another day.
