So Cute

I am sitting on our bed and the little one is watching the Letter Factory and he has his hand on my knee. He is becoming quite the affectionate one. I've learned a handy trick - headphones. He plays with the volume non-stop so now it only "bothers" him not me and I am free to watch Law and Order or Dr. Phil in peace. It only took a few weeks but I'm getting there.

It's getting pretty cold outside, supposed to be below zero soon so I think we will be confined to being indoors. I do not know what we will do. I think I'll unleash the fingerpaint soon. I was saving it for a rainy day but a cold day will suffice. I'll probably get it all set up and he'll play with it for two minutes. Long enough to make a mess.

Everest continues to keep us laughing and at the same time keeps us frustrated. He is into everything. Like a puppy who chews your shoelaces. He just likes to try to help so much but ends up making a complete and total mess while trying and he will not be deterred. I hope this helpfulness continues when he is old enough to not want to help any longer. Probably not. We're learning new things about each other every day and he is becoming more and more comfortable. I am not sure if I am becoming more comfortable though. I always feel a bit uneasy and I wish I didn't. He is so charming, so full of life and yet I feel myself holding back. He doesn't deserve that and neither do I. I know I'll get past it as I think I am putting too much pressure on myself. This week has been great except for the mini-temper tantrum upon removing him from the children's museum after 2.5 hours. A girl can only take so much. That was about two hours too much.

My gosh I can clearly hear the Letter Factory through the headphones on his head. We are on the P's. I think I might put it on repeat. Think he'll notice??
