My Seussical Life for 2004 February 14

Leonard and Brendan were privy to one of the unfortunate realities of life with little ones: night wakings. Thanks for being good sports, guys.

On our way home from picking Atticus up from gymnastics, Leonard asked him what he did in class. He answered, "I played 'Motor Boat,' and I crawled around like a trilobite!"

Atticus was distraught over Leonard and Brendan's leaving today. His sadness slowed him down enough for an afternoon nap, though. After he woke up, I asked him if he had a good sleep. He said "Yes, my body was saying 'Ahhh, this is so nice.'"

Last night I was explaining to Sumana over the phone that my life is not boring. Today, as I was picking herbal tea pouches out of the VCR, I realized the meaning of my statement. When you are a parent, you never know when you are going to walk in on your children peeling all the labels off your canned goods. Yes--this did really happen to me last week. That kind of anticipation makes life anything but boring.
