If D-man walks for Mr. J before me I admit it. I’m going to be a lit­tle jeal­ous, as in remind­ing D-man his whole life how he walked for Mr. J but I am the one who car­ried him in my womb & birthed him. ME & it took like 3 weeks of labor to have him. That’s right THREE WEEKS, THREE– I mean it FELT like 3 weeks even if it only a few hours. Hours become weeks when you are labor­ing, WEEKS I TELL YA!! WEEKS!! But any­way all moth­er­ing guilt trips aside, Mr. J has been try­ing to help D-man get his land legs every­day. He can’t wait to have D-man take his first steps & he is hop­ing that when D-man does walk it will be with him. Although I’m won­der­ing if Mr. J has thought through this plan, because once D-man is stand­ing & walk­ing on his own 2 feet you know that he will want to get into EVERYTHING that is Mr. J’s. He’ll be like a flash of tod­dler lightening.

Mamacita and Mr G. are both learn­ing to read. Mr. G is learn­ing to rec­og­nize words. While Mamacita is in the ear­lier stages of “read­ing” a book, mean­ing she looks at the pic­tures & tries to tell a story based on the pic­tures in the book. She’s try­ing to under­stand the under­ly­ing mean­ings to words, & it’s darn cute. Espe­cially when her sto­ries involve dia­logue. “Oh, what do we have here? A sugar bug? Bet­ter get the bug spray.” Let’s hope she real­izes sugar bugs don’t require actual bug spray before she goes on to med­ical school–what am I push­ing? Just because she reads books on the den­tist and Dora going to the doc­tor doesn’t mean she’s going to med­ical school? Well, I think it just might.

Catch­ing a moment with D-man & Hubby. Looks like some­thing is about to happen.

Yep, it hap­pened. Hubby went in for the tickle. D-man is so excited that you can see the drool. Lit­tle ones can pull off the drool, adults not so much. And I’ve gotta admit I love watch­ing Hubby play with the kids. He is a big kid at heart.
