From Son Up to Son Down

I saw a great quote the other day: "Mothers of boys are active from son up to son down". I can attest that this is absolutely true--Little Man woke me up at 6:30 this morning (we still haven't taught him about weekends) with a pat on the face--"Mom mom! You waking up? It's time to eat and play trains!"--and he is now sound asleep. On the floor in his bedroom doorway, where he passed out about half an hour ago. We are learning the art of putting ourselves to sleep, and it takes a lot of practice.

Being active from son up to son down means that there isn't often a lot of time left in the day for anything--like blogging. In fact, I was considering wrapping this blog up. After all, I started it when I was pregnant and Little Man will be 3 soon. 3. 3! Can you believe it?

But then I started reading over the older posts, from when he was just a little stink. And I was reminded of things I had forgotten about--and probably would have forgotten about forever had I not recorded them in this blog.

And so I'm going to keep this blog going. After all, it is the story of my little family. And Little Man has never been more fun to be around. As he approaches that third birthday, he is full of words and questions and an extreme love of trains that I think will be around forever.

So the next few weeks will be filled with some catch up posts about our life with Little Man. I can't wait to share all the things we have been up to! Stay tuned, and don't forget: happily ever after is never the end. The fairy tale continues...
