That's about it, these days! Me and my little buddy, who runs amok (which means is to behave in a wild or unruly manner, as I just searched online. Origins from a Malay word. Whatever that is! And also it's in the DSM (the big book of diagnosis that psychologists, etc use! But just to clarify I use it for exaggeratory purposes only. I have a rambunctious 1 year old is all the sister tryin to say. Yo.)![]()
Anyway, here we are in various stages of our summer adventures as Mom and child. My Wonder Woman shirt and Wade's plaid overalls were sent to us from Wisconsin by our beloved as 4th of July gifts. Dang that was nice, PerBear! Then we can see Wade just being a cute as a button at my parents house in St. G.
I am also seen wearing my Ao Dai, a traditional vietnamese dress for my dear friend, Angela's Vietnamese Engagement party/wedding celebration. She invited me to be her special guest and wear the traditional dress! I was so flattered, and it was a lovely night. I especially like her Dad, he is so cute. And also Elder Dallin H Oaks was there with his wife. NBD.
We recently returned home from a trip to my birth state- TEXAS! Tara and Andy flew me out, and it was just lovely. Humidity raging, hair out of control, we had an excellent 4th of July and celebrations for their daughter's baptism. We also visited the NASA Space Center and Mission Control Center. You know, "Houston, we have a problem"??? Yeah, we went into the control room. So sweet. Their goals are to be on Mars by 2035-2040. That literally is incredible.
T & A are a part of a gorgeous community, with several pools available for its residents. Wade and I enjoyed the splash pad, particularly.
Alright. Upon review of the pictures with Wade's mouth open as FAR as he possibly can get it, what would you supposed he is doing?
Makes me giggle EVERY TIME. He is merely waiting patiently for the spoonful of food to enter his mouth. He does it basically EVERY BITE. Can we say excited to eat some food??? YES, I think we can. I just realized how much he wants to eat all the time the other day. He wakes up and I start talking to him, or I have to go potty, etc, and he will put HIS hand to MY mouth to make the "eat" sign language sign with his "MMm?" noise. When I pick him up and repeat "You want to eat?" He will then hold the sign on his mouth until he has food going into his mouth.
This (eating), coupled with violence (hitting, pulling hair, using the plastic bat on my head, not to mention on other children especially his littlest cousin Ruby (So so sorry!), etc), teasing endlessly, and huge messes(exhibit A being the pile of books-2 shelves worth-on the floor, with gigantic smile on face. He is walking all the time now, ya know) is my day to day life. And I dare say this may continue for the next 18 years!
But he is also just a happy, sweet boy! I cannot WAIT to show Perris all of the new tricks! 2 weeks until reunion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Extreme excitement here!!!!!!!! Life is great with Wade, but I never wish to be or wish anyone to have to be a single mother. On to the sweetness of Husband/Wife/child family!!
