So, hello world! I knew that I got reallly bad about posting when life got stressful. Now I know that is absolutely true. I am going to try to post a bit more. So to jumpstart things, here's something nice and light

Meaning? Sort of mindless, minor shock effect.

Wonder what he could do with my bum 'page up' key? (He does not mean Otto.) Now fixing it might not take a genius, but leaving a clever message to show that it was fixed would be genius! But what mother would deny the genius of her offspring? Just consider Little O!

S's gibberish made me giggle. What makes one person type "Every good boy deserves fudge" and another "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country"?

How about:

Hi grannylera hi granny key seem to lera hi grannylera

I share your opinion about S being a genius, and am sure he could do much better!

Oliver is indeed a genius. In the past week he has taught himself:
1. To crawl
2. To stand up in the bathtub (I'm not a fan)
3. To wave -- moving his fingers and not just his arm!
4. To clap!
5. To hunger strike. Oh wait, that's not new.

But seriously, he blows my mind! Just wait until you see him again!

Standing up in the bathtub is very frightening. It continues to be scary. Two days ago, we were late in putting the dude down to bed and something or the other caused him to throw a temper tantrum. Nothing would distract him, so I decided just to put him in the tub and get him ready for bed, even if he was screaming (I knew bed would be the best thing for him). I placed him in the tub, and he immediately stood up, screaming, and started stomping his feet and flailing his arms any time I tried to touch him. I felt sure he would fall and crack his head on the tub.

He didn't, though he did continue to scream and kick for the duration of the bath, while I dried him off, and as I put him in his diaper and jammies. As soon as he was dressed in his jammies and I let him get off the change table, he stood up, stopped crying, grabbed his blankie, and crawled up in the glider for his bedtime story. He was all giggles and cuddles then.

Ah, toddlerhood!

Doodle and Benjamin and Oliver in the tub. That would be a sight to see. And videotape.

Last night's bath was like you described... Every time I'd sit him back down, he'd stand back up. Oof. Standing in the bathtub seems like such a fun game for him. It's hard to teach *no*. Oof.

Pretty good--lots of geniuses in this family!

Any recent pictures to soothe a granny?
