Overall I am pretty proud of my parenting. There are definite things I could do differently but I am not going to get myself stressed out about it. My one weakness: I HATE getting up early. Ask my mom. No really, ask my mom and she will tell you all the horrible and cruel things I yelled at her while half asleep each morning when she tried to wake me up for high school. In my defense school started at 73oam every day. It wasn’t pretty. I am sure I am not alone in this hatred.
Addy on the other hand is a total morning person. She is sweet and talks all quiet in a really breathy voice. It’s funny, really. So most morning she comes in around 730 to tell me something random. This morning she comes in and strokes my hair, saying “I like you hair mom.” Thanks Addy I like your hair too, except when it involves washing it and you scream and yell about the soap in your eyes. Then she says, “Mom, are you going to take me to preschool!?” Yes, Addy. ”To the slide!” Yes Addy. ”To ALL the rooms?!” Yes Addy. She went to preschool orientation yesterday and I tried to ask her about it last night after work but she was all tight lipped about it. After a couple minutes of this exchange, I send her off upstairs to talk to Nana. The beauty of living with in laws that INTENTIONALLY get up at 630am.
A little while later Addy comes back down crunching on something. What are you eating Adds? Nothing, she says. Hmm, smells like a cookie. ”It’s just nilla mom, it’s just nilla.” Oh my.

ask my mom about this. we christiansens are not morning people. we knew not to wake her up. and now, ryan knows not to wake me up…or evil will crush him.
Does andy look like he’s been lifting weights or something?? And Owen is so huge!! He’s going to be off to preschool before I see you again! sad sigh.
p.s. it’s just a nilla kat…could be worse.
I thought the same thing Jame. They are just man boobs
We will see you for sure by Christmas and Owen will definitely not be in preschool by then. He is getting so *big*!
C’mon, they are called moobs!
combined with the fact I’m in denial that I wear a large size t-shirt now…
No seriously, it looks like you’ve been using the bench press from here.
