This morning after Kenny’s MyGym class, he and I met Casey at the Scottsdale Stadium to watch a little Spring Training practice with the San Francisco Giants. The sun was high, the air was warm and the balls were flying. Kenny was excited, and we even nabbed a front row seat right behind the pitchers […]
Kenny pooped five (yes, FIVE) times today. How can that be? He’s not sick, all of it was “normal.” I guess when a boy’s gotta go, a boy’s gotta go…. When I said, “Wow, Kenny! You’ve pooped a lot today!” on change number four, he chirped up, “POOP! Poop like […]
Ok all you bloggers out there: Have you ever totally wanted desperately to write about something because it’s all you can think about and it’s practically consuming your waking hours, yet you can’t because what you want so passionately to talk about is not ready to be talked about? Or because a certain person […]
Kenny has gone from about a hundred words to at least couple hundred nearly overnight. He will now repeat everything and anything you say. (That is not a boast, it is a warning. No more accidental four-letter words allowed. No more even slightly-suggestive-of-four-letter words allowed.) Not only will he repeat […]
Casey and I celebrated a belated Valentine’s tonight with an unbelievable dinner out at the City Hall Steakhouse here in Scottsdale…. imagine Ruth’s Chris on disco. I think I ate a pound of butter, no joke, between the mashed potatoes smothered with chunks of lobster in beurre blanc, the butter crusted filet mignon, and the […]
Casey came home tonight bearing a gorgeous bunch of ruby-red tulips (my favorite!) and a gigantic ballon for Kenny. The balloon is easily twice his size, and he ran around the house with it like a cheetah in his excitement…. “BAOOOOOOOOON! BAAAOOOOOON!” There is nothing that would have made […]
All of the sudden, over the last three days, Kenny has started speaking in sentences. It all started Sunday, when we went to the railroad park: Kenny rode the train with Casey, and afterward we were talking about Papa and Gramma coming for a visit. Kenny said, “Ride Choo Choo!” and then “Ride […]
We had a little scare over the last few days. Kenny developed an odd little patch on his skin several weeks ago that went from a tiny bump to a spot the size of a dime; it was red and raised and scaly, and if you typed its description into Google, you got back […]
Kenny is napping. He is naping for the 19th day in a row, that is, every day that we have been living in Scottsdale. For those of you who may be new to this blog, Kenny did not nap for most of the first 15 months of his life. In fact, his […]
Kenny knows so many words now that I live in the world of a non-stop commentary. The grocery store, the mall, the park, at home in the kitchen, the living room, the bathroom… I am so proud of him and yet… Is it awful to wish for a moment or two of silence? Here […]
