Don just reported to me that our son put on his own sandles for the first time today! He was very proud of himself, I understand. No matter that he got them on the wrong feet....
That boy is growing in leaps and bounds. Another thing I've started noticing about him lately is that he's trying very hard to hold actual conversations with anyone and everyone, from his 2-year-old best friend to his Aunty Cathy.
Just because this is a short post and I have to get offline soon, I'm going to close with a recent picture of the cutest little boy in the universe! Happy trails!
Whoops! Several people pointed out to me lately that I haven't been updating my blog. My bad! Sorry folks. My attempt at an excuse is that I don't own a computer. I do this during my lunch hour at work, or after work. Strangely, sometimes I'd rather have a lunch break or go home on time. :-D
The big news at our place is that Gabe has moved into his big boy bed! No pictures yet - I'm not real happy about the room arrangement at the moment. Don and I had been keeping our eyes open for months, looking for the perfect Gabey bed and came across it at Ikea about a month or so ago. Ikea has "showrooms" where you can see their furniture set up into little, actual rooms. You can go in and play with it. So we did.
Gabe LOVED it. Every time we visited Ikea from that point forward, he was very excited about going to see "his" bed! Well, a couple weekends ago, we got it. He moved into it on a Sunday night and hasn't looked back. He's learning that once the lights go out and he's alone in his bed, it's not OK to get up and play. At night, he plays lullabies on his Baby Tad and snuggles his elephant until he falls asleep. I am led to understand that, with another kid in the room during the week, that naps have been much more challenging than night time bed time.
At the same time, we got a tall stool for the bathroom so he can wash his own hands and stand on his own two feet to brush his teeth. He's thrilled to be more of a big boy every day.
I would just like to say that the remake of Battlestar Galactica running on the SciFi channel TOTALLY ROCKS. Here's more information at the SciFi website:

It has a large story line, compelling characters (some of whom ACTUALLY DIE), dramatic themes (religion, morality, political ethics, species survival), superb actors, excellent directing and editing. All in all, an epic-class series. Reminds me and my boyfriend of Babylon 5 (hence the title of this post). Here's more information about this older, also epic, science fiction TV series:

Motomom says, "Check it out."
