I read other blogs and I think to myself, wow i wish mine could sound like theirs. Almost poetic in a sense. But I guess that's not what its really about. Its about whatever we want our blogs to be about. Poetic sounding or not.
On a good note: this weekend my brother, sister-in-law and I started talking again. As my dad put it, he has made an effort, now its my turn to repair the damage that I have caused with my big mouth.
My little man is turning a year old already! I can't believe he is that old. He has changed so much in the last year its unbelievable. He is at the point now that when he stands up he as started to let go and actually stand on his own. This is the newest development in the last week. That and he has decided that when he is happy or he wants something or you give him something that he is going to growl at you in excitement! Then smile at you!
Addison is going into her 3rd week of preschool this week. She had no separation issues her first day of school. Neil & I walked her in, she saw her friend Kaydence and play doh on the table and took off and never thought twice or looked back. Her teacher said, "Addison mommy and daddy are leaving." She turned (never got up) looked at us waved and said, "bye mom bye dad." and that was it! I knew she would do great. Although she has had a time out one time in 2 weeks. This doesn't surprise me at all. As usual she took a toy from her friend Kaydence and wouldn't give it back. So both girls were put in timeout. Addison has issues with sharing at times. I know its mostly her age and that as she goes along in school this year things will get better. She has been walking around the house singing songs that she has learned. But we can't get an entire song out of her! She sings "clean up, clean up" and "today is Monday all day long all day long" I look at her and say "Addison today is Friday." So she says "o.... today is Friday all day long all day long!" Neil and I just laugh!
today of all days there is a phrase that keeps running through my head, "if you are going to be a friend, be a real one!"
Maybe this phrase is out of a little bit of anger today or maybe I am just tired of seeing my husband get hurt by people that say they are friends but don't act like they are. To further explain: Neil found out today that a long time friend of his is getting married next weekend, but he was not invited. All of his other friends were but he wasn't. He found out today that he was probably cut from the list because they had to cut back on the guest list. I am pretty sure that is a load of crap. If you were really friends with someone would you not be invited to their wedding? A similar situation happened when we got married. Neil asked his friend since junior high that he was with practically every day to be his best man in our wedding and his response was "I have another wedding the next weekend and I can't get off work to come up. To this day Neil is still mad that this person. It almost felt like he just didn't want to. To me this makes no sense. I myself wanted to call and rip this person apart for hurting Neil the way he did. The other thing I don't get why didn't this friend's family come to our wedding either? They are local they don't live out of state. Neil has had enough hurt, loss, and disappointment in his life and he is only 28 years old!
So I say please if you are going to be a friend be a real one.
