It's a Fine Line Between Charming and Scary

[lawnrrd]

I gave Leo a chunk of a Carr's Table Water Cracker because he said he wanted to taste it. Once he had the chunk, he looked at it for a moment, and then he dropped it into my glass of water, looked up at me, and exclaimed "goldfish!"

You have no idea what you're in for.

Aaww are you saing I'm not up for it?

I'm scared - and cannot believe in 10 weeks I'll have a living breathing doll that I actually have to take care of, but I'm very excited. I honestly didn't think I would be getting this excited about this *laughs*

I'm saying that no one is up for it. I've compared having a boy to sharing my house with an incontinent, drunken, alien monkey, but that's not quite right; it's actually worse, because he's a lot smarter than a monkey.

The only unsolicited advice I'll offer is that you should try to relax. They seem to be a lot harder to kill than you'd think at first.

If you want more advice, you'll have to ask for it.

incontinent, drunken, alien monkey

I like monkeys woohoo!!!!

Yah I don't think anybody is ready for this sort of thing. At least I am aware of the well....I know it's not going to be all sunshine and roses. Ready for the late nights and feedings and all that come with it.

My stress levels are not nearly as high as they use to be oddly enough. The past few days have been bad due to the whole having to do the insulin but it's only for 10 more weeks *crossing fingers*

How old is that little alien monkey of yours now you said two right? Wow....that's just so amazing.

Glad to hear that you are holding up well thus far though it's good to keep in touch with you again ;)

haha, no that's great. good play skills! language and play skills are the things i assess where i work.

plus it's cute.

Well, Leo has language, play skills, and cuteness to spare. Oh, and spots, lots and lots of spots.

Seriously, if you ever want to do a case study on the cognitive, linguistic, and social development of a spotty toddler, Leo's your man.

i wish! that portion of grad school is over. now we just talk about old people who can't swallow or have motoric issues. :( i love babies. haha.

[lawnrrd]

Leo's incontinent. Does that help?

[bravenewworld.livejournal.com]

he is basically an old man. i will study his drooling patterns and do some oral motor exercises with him to strengthen up those articulators.

also, leo may be spotty but he is my favorite baby on lj. haha. because he's cute AND he makes trouble. and if the trouble doesn't involve me then it is very cute.

[lawnrrd]

Well, you do both live in Brooklyn, so maybe you'll run into him one day.

[bravenewworld.livejournal.com]

that little man has his own apartment i bet.

haha. i might move, but hopefully we will run into each other before that can happen. lower rent of the southwest is tempting me..
