Silly
It’s gotten quite silly in the Brady household. Seriously silly, much more then ever before. I mean, who are we kidding? We’ve always been light-hearted and fun but at the same time, it’s always been in both our personalities to hold on, ever so slightly, to dignity and strength. Heh, those days have definitely gone out with the poop stained wash. Who needs elegance when you’re having so much fun?!
There is a whole list of things I thought would end as soon as we had a kid. Actually, they were some of the reasons we put off having kids for so long. Things like eatting nachos at midnight (ugh, this has got to stop), taking mid-day naps (a family that naps together?), watching movies or reading books (it might take a little longer) and just the over all silliness that comes when you don’t have a little one relying on you. I was so worried about all the silly things we wouldn’t be able to do anymore, I forgot to consider the fun new arsenal that accompanies childhood. It turns out that having Jackson has made us a little crazy!
I love that at any given moment you’ll find all three of us crawling around the house like elephants, that my feet often dance their own little jig and that I’ve discovered a language that only little boys seem to understand. I don’t take myself or anyone else so seriously anymore. Why worry about all the small things when you could be jumping around the room while clapping and dancing…waiting for one silly toothless grin.
(not for long…the two bottom teeth will be here any day now!)
