my favorite daily sountrack

ge all out refused to sing and hated when other people sang just a few short months ago. but i persisted and rose above his screams of "nooooo" while i sang the abc song over and over on our drives about town. and then, one random day, he stopped screaming "noooo" and he just sat there, tolerating my obnoxious renditions of twinkle twinkle and the abc song. and then he slowly started paying attention, and then practicing on his own, and then singing to me, and finally he burst out singing his songs with pride. he will still only sing 2 songs, but he is listening, and i am happy for now. i love music and i hope to give him that gift of appreciation, if i can.

so it is with great pride that i present you with my little man's first 2 musical performances by way of my flip video camera. i think he is so adorable, but of course i am biased.

the beatles were right

- it is getting better all the time.

today has been a much easier day. perhaps that is because i bought a fan and a few clothes i feel good in from the target, or perhaps it is because i noticed that since i stopped taking the zoloft my hair actually stopped falling out, perhaps it is the antibiotics finally kicking in, or it is simply because i have an amazing family that has rallied around me for days. i wish i could say that my poor husband is doing well, but it is month end and his numbers aren't where they should be and he is very rabble rabble.

today ge and i battled back and forth about every hour or so. we are working on listening, which is far easier said than done. chunk is really wanting to crawl, but only thinks that that can be done while floundering about on her over-sized belly. and as much as i want to blog, i am tired and 30 days is a long time. i started out so passionate, but i have just lost that loving blog feeling.

and it's gone, gone, gone ... woahohahoh ba dum ba dum.
