It's the end of the month and I bet everyone is tired of looking at my toilet, so here I sit, trying to muster up something interesting to write about. January has given me a major case of the blahs so I haven't been taking pictures or doing that much fun stuff. I guess if I tried to do more fun stuff in January, I might not feel so blah-ish.
Aaron's been starting to say a few words these days. He started back in December with his first word being "shoes" (but it really sounds like "shiz"). He loves to get people their shoes and is always so excited to get his on. It's the funniest thing how he gets so dang excited by shoes.
Other words he says are: mom, uh-oh, and uh (for up). Sara is convinced that he says "sis" but I'm not quite sure about that one. Even though he only says a few words, he understands so much. If I ask if he needs his diaper changed, he starts grabbing himself (if you know what I mean) and then walks to his room and changing table. Yesterday, my sister was here visiting and we started talking about how Aaron is not doing well in nursery. We talked about things I could do and I shared how since we started trying to take him to nursery, he doesn't like being left with anyone, even family. Soon it was time to pick Sara up from preschool and Aaron started freaking out. He knew we were talking about leaving him and his reaction was to cling to my leg. He finally calmed down after he had his coat and shoes on and I had mine on too--then he knew we were both going somewhere together.
Sara's been saying some interesting stuff too. The other day she told me, "Mom, if you are tired of your credit card debt, you can talk to a professional in 5 minutes." She has also asked, "Are you sick of scrubbing and scrubbing the toilet?" When she watches TV these days, I think she picks up more from the commercials than the "educational" shows I try to put on. Maybe we should just go back to PBS.
