This is a typical day in our lives.
I can’t wait for Halloween.

There’s something I forgot to show you….
Since the posts seem to be of “Michael is walking finally!” lately, I thought I’d post a video that my brother, who was seeing it for the first time, recorded. Plus, a video of how my nephew and Michael play—with my mother’s curtains. Ha ha!
Michael taking his first steps. <3
…and just for laughs, baby cousins playing with a curtain.
Somebody come and play…
Somebody come and play
Somebody come and play today
Somebody come and smile the smiles
And sing the songs
It won't take long
Somebody come and play today
Somebody come and play
Somebody come and play my way
Somebody come and rhyme the rhymes
And laugh the laughs
It won't take time
Somebody come and play today
Somebody come with me and see the pleasure in the wind
Somebody see the time is getting late to begin
Somebody come and play
The above is one of my favorite songs from Sesame Street. Michael loves it too. Lately, we've been singing and playing along with songs. Since he has been somewhat tantrummy, songs like Someone Come and Play help him calm down quickly. I just get near him, sing a little song, and he forgets about whatever tantrum he was going to throw. The song is also the intro to Play With Me Sesame, but that’s more upbeat, mellow seems to work when calming down my little dude. Come and take a listen.
Love it!
Where's Michael?
Aside from that little fun milestone, he is getting quite close to walking. He's been surfing furniture for weeks. He is still very cautious about letting go, but every once in a while, you will see him just holding on with a finger or so. I would bet that he will be walking about a week or two after his birthday. Seems so close.
I seem to be catching whatever bug is around here. It's not a heavy one, which is good news since I hate being drugged up on meds, especially when caring for Michael. It's just a light tickle in my throat with a slightly annoying cough. I know Michael is somewhat sick too because his nose is runny and well, he had a fever a few days ago too. Plus his appetite has been lacking until today. Go figure.
On the marital front, we are doing absolutely great! Steve and I seem to be getting out of whatever tiny funk we were in and are all cuddly. Which is weird, well to me, because I am not affectionate like that at all ( I've gotten mushier?) You know what though? I kind of like it. I mean, Steve seems to be happier with my being much more affectionate (he's the mushier one, physically though) than usual. Now, if I could only get over my fear of feet and maybe, just MAYBE I'll do a foot rub (I don't mind getting one, but me giving one--ewe!)
Family Time
Steve has been working so hard these past few weeks that it's been almost impossible to have some family time. Today I let him sleep in for almost 10 hours (I would have let him sleep in longer but I needed him to watch Michael so I could make lunch) that he woke up in such a great mood that we ended up taking a walk after lunch. We decided to walk to the main street and then see where that led us--a park. I've seen the park before but I've never actually visited it before today.
Getting ready to head out.
About to head down the slide.
I've also added some random pictures from earlier in the week for fun. :)
Michael and his cousin Gabriel
My mom and her two grandchildren.
Every time I see this, this lyric pops into my head:
"They see me rollin', they hatin' " LOL
