He's pretty great with the baby. He's a little too helpful, constantly kissing and touching her face to the point where she gets upset cause he's smothering her. I have him help me with her (diaper changes and picking out her clothes) and he's really happy to do all of that. It's just everything else. He's totally defiant and does things he knows damn well he's not supposed to do. We've played games, read him books, and I praise him on the things he does well but everytime I turn around he's doing something he's not supposed to unless the TV is on or he's playing video games. I can't have that all the time. He needs to occupy himself without misbehaving.
He's also really rough with other people. A lot of rough housing even when those involved are saying, 'OK. That's enough.' He also 'hates' everything. It's like he's over excited and no matter what you ask him about he hates it. We are huge Phillies phans and people are asking if he watched the game and he's going, 'I hate the Phillies. I want the Ankees to win,' just to say it.
I know this is a phase/ he's jealous/ still adjusting but does anyone have any ideas as to how I can avoid punching him until my sweet, intelligent little boy comes back? (At least till he's a teenager anyway?)
10 days old :)

Liam loves to hold her :)

I guess I'll have to get some with her eyes open huh? lol
34w 4d ... so close and yet so far....

1. Make a list of 5 things you can see:
Little noses saline drops
Camera
remote
pens
dream book
( cause my if my friends jumped off a bridge... )
We went on a little vacation earlier this week and I thought I'd share some pictures. We took our yearly trip to Knoebles! If you're ever in Elysburg PA and have little ones I'd totally recommend it. Free parking, free entry to the park, great prices, great food.... you really can't beat it.
Anyway... Our usual place to stop for breakfast was closed so we drove a bit to find somewhere else. We happened upon this cute little 50's inspired diner next to a laundromat/tanning salon (which is a fabulous idea if you're into that sort of thing... but I digress). After we sat down the place got really busy and nearly every seat filled up... including the ones at the counter when I saw this.

So naturally I had Liam pose for a picture!!!

We finish our meal (which was very good) and headed on down to the park. Being 27 weeks preggers I can't ride on anything so I was waiting on a bench while my hubby and son were in line for a ride. I was watching the Waltens comedy/variety show when this gentleman and his lady friend stopped right in front of me to catch a glimpse of the show... and scratch his ASS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME!

He did this long enough for me to dig my camera out of the black hole I call my purse, take the camera out of it's case, turn it on, focus, zoom in, and snap this shot.
Fortunately that was it for the butts on our trip.
My beloved fish Gargamel ceased to be this morning.
He hadn't really been eating lately and I was worried something might be wrong.
When I checked on him this morning he was breathing pretty heavily and lying on his side.

Your bubble nests were lovely dear and I enjoyed the time I had with you.
May fishy heaven be exciting.
RIP
I have all of these sitting around that I've made from time to time and decided I'd share/show them off :)

Eastbound and Down

And last but certainly not least... My beloved PHILLIES!!

Dear Women everywhere,
Here is some public restroom etiquette. One would hope that this isn't necessary but judging by the flith... it is.
1. A) If you manage to rip tiny pieces of toilet paper off the roll before getting an acceptable sized piece to wipe your fat ass DON'T THROW THEM ON THE FLOOR!!!!! Do you do this at home? B) Trash goes in the trash can... I know, it's a strange idea but that's what it's for.
2. If, while washing your hands, you get water all over the fucking sink CLEAN IT UP WITH A PAPER TOWEL!!!!!
3. DO NOT tug at the paper toilet seat covers so hard that you rip them off the wall... That's just stupid. If you do happen to tear it off..... PICK IT THE FUCK UP AND THROW IT AWAY.
4. It's not going to kill you to touch the door to the bathroom.
5. Don't toss dirty diapers all will nilly. See section B of #1.
6. Tampons/Pads go in... (EVERYONE, all together) THE TRASHCAN. Not stuck to the wall.
7. It is NEVER ok to wipe your shit anywhere but on the toilet paper. Ever.
8. If you would sit the fuck down on the toilet.... say it with me now... THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY PISS ON THE SEAT!!!! Stop this nonsense!
If you have anything to add to this list... please feel free.

It's by a German artist (Mueck... I think?) and I find it very striking... it's scary even. And all it is is a huge realistic sculpture of a baby. The way it's peering at you... Wild... I can't stop staring at it.
I need help guys :) I can't decide which founder to submit for Nova's next Legacy Challenge.
( Come see :) )
