Clime, Clime

Clime is toddler for "climb" and it's one of Parker's most favorite verbs at the moment. Example A:



Example B:




Example A was taken last Monday hours before he fell flat on his back out of the grocery store cart. Yes, I got mom of the year award for allowing my child to stand in the basket because it was 5:30 at night and he refused to sit correctly and wear the seatbelt.

No one saw his swan dive and no one seemed to notice his hysterical screaming. No blood, no goose egg, no dialated pupils, or nausea. We came home (without dinner) and he got a dose of Tylenol. He was no worse for the wear and went to bed by 8pm. I snuck back in his room at 10pm and poked him a few times to make sure he was alive. He didn't act like he even remembered the booboo the next day. I guess in the instance it's a good thing that hardheadedness runs on both sides of the family!

Day 9 of Thanks - 2011

I'm thankful for songs that randomly come on the radio and take you back 12 years to your freshman year of college with no warning. Tonight, I heard "Back that *ss Up" and I was back in the Shirley dorm at TCU borrowing clothes from my Kappa pledge sisters and getting ready for a Thursday night at The Aardvark!

Great memories with Jaclyn, Kirsten, KJ, Maggie, Abby, and Schwaller!

I'm thankful for my three parttime jobs that allow me to be home on nights and weekends with my family, yet still be involved in science and schools during the day!

Day 7 of Thanks - 2011

Tonight I'm thankful for date nights with my favorite little guy. We ate at Central Market on the patio and listened to two guitarists play the Eagles. He had fruit and chicken tenders and I had Mongolian beef. Then we shared some lemon sorbet for dessert!




Then tonight he was ready for storyline with mommy!

Day 5 of Thanks - 2011

Today I'm thankful for hilarious laughing so hard you can't breathe antics between Benton and Parker. The only thing better than laughing that hard myself, is to hear it from Parker.

I don't have a picture of the goofiness, but here is Parker two seconds after he was head-first in Jack's food bin. I had a good laugh at his expense!
