cause and effect

 cal is crawling all of the way. zooming around the house, pulling up faster, more agile by the second. this past week i have noticed the "what ever you have i must have" becoming a theme for the boys. yipee!!   i'm over the moon stinkin' excited. but not excited. not one bit. not a smidgen tickled. good thing cal is such a laid back child, if he becomes upset over a toy snatched he recovers quickly. frederick. hmmm. frederick is a bit more aggressive, if i were not his mother i may use the word bully, but i am so i won't. nether should you. you'll be sorry if you do. that would not be polite.  we try to always be polite. see? i'm working on my manners, because there are little ears listening. all of the time these ears are allert, so travis tells me. everyday.  the boys have also taken to selecting their own toys from the shelf. cool. very cool. I actually moved the couch table away from the couch  against a wall in the living room. this has been done to  house toys at a level the boys will have access. their favorite part is clearing off the lower shelf in order to crawl about on it. it looks like that... (upper right)  as you can imagine i have many concerns. i removed the small persoins, but apparently the shelf has irresistible powers. they ignore me already!! i was worried that something like this may happen....
but hey i'm just the mommy what do i know?  i so just borrowed that line from my youth,  i sound like my my mother!?!  um, i think i will have to process that later-love you mom! am i a bad mom because i photographed the child crying rather than immediately saving him? in my defense i was already taking photos and it was less than a second to snap the photo. promise. then i scooped him up. cooed. kissed. hugged. swayed till' not a whimper was heard. i set frederick back down to resume the demanding business of being a baby. not a toddler-yet. baby. baby. baby. baby. got it? good!
now for a more serous matter. I have been doing a bit of reading, and this subject has presented its self to me randomly through this last week. random. very random.  because bof this i am looking for input, wisdom, thoughts on vaccinations? its a tuffie but i would appreciate any input.

poor sweet cal. with his new found freedom  has chosen to scurry of to the baby gate that separates the dogs from the babies. I think i mentioned this earlier; our jack russel is a bit afraid of the boys. frederick seems not to care what arnie likes/dislikes. cal on the other hand very much wants to be friends. every time cal approaches the gate arnie gives warning growls and eventually barks. every time cal breaks out in a fit of tears until he is soothed. and then he tries again. such a sweet boy. i hope arnie comes around.
arnie is not ready to be friendly.

cutie cal

today was a day of recovery in our home. the boys played and rested, daddy played and rested, mommy cooked ate and rested. sigh. but how cute is this?

 
until next week. i hope. i hope



waving bye bye. it's new. shiny and new. he's a smarty marty:)
