Grown up Conversation already...

RJ and Mom had a great heart to heart today. When Reilly naps, I try to spend some good 1:1 quality time with the boy so he doesn't feel neglected! Today we laid on the floor together and he just got this amazing smile and started babbling away. He would pause, then I would start talking to him and he would listen and smile. Once I was done, he would start up again. It was seriously the sweetest 5 minutes I spent all day. I still can't get over how quickly he is changing, and I know before I blink he will be running around with his crazy big sister and talking like a real boy. But for now I will cherish the cooing, even if I can't get him to do it while the videocamera is on for the life of me!

Today I received a gift, a true gift. I was able to go to the grocery store, sans children. It was the most amazing 15 minute shopping trip ever. I could actually load the cart without having to maneuver around a carseat and a toddler. I went through the aisles without a trail of goldfish behind me, or a tiny person screaming the ABC's (or something closely resembling the aBC'S) at the top of her lungs. I got in the checkout line and didn't have to rush forward so all the candybars and tabloids didn't wind up in my cart. Thank you Angela, and thank you Dr. Anthopolous (oh I forgot to mention the only reason I got to grocery shop alone is because my pap smear was much quicker than expected so I had some time to kill before my sitter had to leave). Ahhh. The little things.

I am excited to be blogging again. I feel like bedtime is getting easier. I really have to work on those naps though!!

I have many random thoughts tonight- I am pissed at ebayers. I keep losing bids on Mickey Mouse costumes in the last few minutes. I can't believe what some people are bidding for these costumes. There has to be a better way. More to come...
