Month in Review

This is probably my last blog post as a mother of two I'm guessing considering that I can only manage to get with this blog thing on a once a month basis...

I am operating on a base level of brain cells at this point, at 39 weeks pregnant, so my ability to recollect what this last month has entailed will probably be a bit of a failure, so I'll just stick to the highlights:

*Lilah has stopped napping, which is totally fine because she willingly stays in her room and plays for over an hour. I guess she must really enjoy getting away from me? :)

*Miles wants to stop napping, but this is not as acceptable to me, because he still very much needs it, and he's not so pleasant about having "quiet time" in his room.

*Now that Lilah knows where babies come from, she keeps saying that she thinks the new baby wants her to be her mommy. I can't help but take offense to this. I mean, I'm at least as competent as my 3 year old as a mother on most days, right? There are some days that I know I can do a better job considering that Lilah regularly puts her babies to bed under about 5 blankets, an endeavor that surely a newborn would not survive.

*Miles is talking up a storm, and he's mastered the art of being condescending. He will purposefully answer the opposite of what's expected to every single question I ask him, and he even manages to conclude his answer with a confident snicker.

*Lilah's starting to learn to write her name

*Miles is obsessed with the letter W because of it's capability to be the letter W, and the letter M if it's turned upside down. He also really loves the letter U for some reason. I have no idea why. The letter U is one of the most boring letters of the alphabet. I bet he likes it because it sounds like a grunt when it's enunciated.

*Thanks to Jade, the knock knock jokes are a big hit around here, and are told ad nauseum. Up until recently, the only punchline they'd use would have to do with pooping. For example: Knock knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? Banana pooping.
These jokes go on all. day. long.

*Miles has taken to being a dinosaur for at least 50% of the day, and will respond to everything with a roar.

*As of tonight Miles is in a toddler bed.

*Baby #3 has yet to make an appearance and I waver between feeling patient, and at least 50% insane.

That about concludes the last month I think... Next month's update will either be REALLY interesting since we will then be a family of 5, or the post will be non-existent.
