I must say one of the biggest surprises as a parent that occurred long ago for me was how different my kids were. I guess I was thinking same combination of initial ingredients and out comes a very similar product. Not so with complex living beings.<br />Hey I enjoy your blog and wonder if you are open to a suggestion. I would not even want to know the type of schedule you endure as a working mom so I figure your blogging is very time constrained. The ideas and thoughts exchanged in comments are the best part of blogging for me and I can't help but notice that your revived blog seems to be low on comments. My suggestion would be quicker posts and more dropping comments on more blog visits. I don't necessarily mean my blog (but a visit and comment is always welcomed) but actually going to other blogs. Blog around a little. Ok, so I know this post has nothing much to do with blogging and I hope you didn't mind the suggestion.<br />All the best to your family and you know there will be day in the future when you'll wish your little one would still stay put for just a little longer.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816095773055947006.post-47370996095434683772014-06-25T13:11:58.791-04:002014-06-25T13:11:58.791-04:00I like that you set a goal.

Especially since I think you're with me in having that Calvin and Hobbes -"The summer is slipping through our fingers like grains of sand!"- mentality when it comes to time. At least you can take some comfort in the fact that C is growing up to be such a smart and kind-hearted little guy.

Thanks for the update. I don't know what happened to blogland activity. Smartphones and twitter I guess.<br />Nice picture. Looks like big guy has propped up a doll next to him. She is a doll I bet. The whole timing of babies is a relatively new concept for society. Before the pill there wasn't much timing going on. The previous methods didn't work so good. Most of our kids are spaced out by 5 years. It's weird to try to plan and schedule life and the world around us too much. Living, loving, growing, relationships and unfortunately dying can't be forced into a schedule. People need to work around nature's schedule and nature doesn't publish a calendar of events.lislemanhttp://afcsoac.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8816095773055947006.post-2863764462890664932013-07-10T18:12:07.870-04:002013-07-10T18:12:07.870-04:00Well don't get them mixed up because the baby ...Well don't get them mixed up because the baby is not going to know what to do with a phone.
