It seems that I lack it. I've had complaints from one family member (thanks, Mom!) that I never update this place. I suppose I ought.
Well, I've had a bout of insomnia, predominately due to a teething baby. How can any one possibly have get more teeth at 11.75 months? I'm guessing it's those year molars making an appearance. I dare not put my finger past the eight front teeth that have already appeared---this shark bites.
Seth is coming out of his cuteness phase. Soon he will be five and past the really sweet little boy stage. He can ride a bike now, punch his brother and get very dirty. But he still whines with the best of them. He found a poisonous snake in the yard today and wasn't even scared of it. Frankly I wasn't either, I wanted to capture it for Jonathan to see later. It slithered into a tree though and I was unable to apprehend it. Perhaps I'll find something else next week that will be easier to catch.
Seth still does his funny mispronunciations. He has this sword shaped stick that he plays with all the time, and he used to hold is up and say, "George" when he was about to attacked. It wasn't until I listened very closely that I figured out his mistake, and I mentioned to him that "charge" was the correct word. I think the "george" was because of Curious George and missionary George Muller. We're reading a book about the famous missionary George Muller who was the type of guy who never asked for money and depended upon God for all the needs of his orphanage in England. When I started reading the book to the kids, they peppered me with the question, "Why is George Prussian?" or "Why is George stealing money from his father?" I finally realized that they were combining the monkey and the man, an odd bit of syncretism.

Oh my, a poisonous snake.....I would have been very afraid! Can't stand them!
Hope the insomnia has passed and you and your little one are sleeping better!
Blessings!
