Mason


Okay, so let's get to the point of this whole thing. I know what you want and you don't want me. You want to know about the kids. So, I'll roll them all out one at a time blog style.

Let's start with Mason.

Mason is 20 months old as is the sweetest, most sensitive, calm cuddle-bug you could ever ask for. Don't get me wrong.. he is ALL boy in every other way. He has always been interested in sports. Currenlty he is into tennis. Within five minutes of waking up he asks for his raquet. He then gets a tennis ball and repeats "tennis, tennis, tennis" over and over until I throw the ball at him. The raquet is actually too big for him to swing so the game is more me trying to hit his raquet with the ball. He loves it!

A few weeks ago it was baseball. He turnd a stick into his "hit" and went around all day with his ball and the "hit." What is it about the male brain. He just KNOWS what to do.

Okay, I'm delving into a new blogging technique. I'll see if I can attach a picture.

The other cute thing about Mason right now is his "tag." He has always been very attached to his silky blankie and is a thumb sucker. I love the thumb-sucker!!! Now he has moved from just needing his blankie and thumb to needing his "tag." The problem is that he often can't find it on his own. So, not only do I hear "tennis, tennis, tennis" all day but I also get to hear "tag, tag, tag." I am enjoying every minute of this little boy's life. What a dream child.

Water fun

Some of my earliest memories are of me in the backyard baby pool, undies and all. My kids had a great time too, saggy diaper and all.
