I don’t know if it’s all the sickness or lots of work but I’ve certainly been in a funk for the last ten days. Not productive. Not inspired. No art. No nothing. Ugh.
Besides working, I have been spending a lot of time with both of the kids. I’ve been reading with David and looking for some math puzzle books for him, too so if you know of any, please let me know. Anything that encourages math learning. He’s really interested so I want to cultivate it. And Nathaniel and I have been snuggling a lot. Laughing, hugging, and just being together. I am really glad to enjoy all this time with him.
He still loves shoes and the backyard. Trying things on and taking them off.
Here, he’s actually bending down to put the shoes on. Crazy boy.
David laughing at him.
And me.
See how it looks like Nathaniel is hugging him?
And yet. Truth is different.
More laughter.
All around!
It’s getting to be fall here. A little chilly but not cold. Almost perfect weather if you ask me. And I am so excited about the holiday season. Ok, not so much for Halloween but for all the others. Especially December. Still thinking about the blog, of course. I wonder about all the range of content. Should I break it up? Is it hard for you to find things? Are you finding it hard to navigate?
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for all the snuggly time Nathaniel and I have been having lately. He’s so so so much fun.
2. I am grateful the 5+ miles I’ve walked in the last three days.
3. I am grateful that it’s promising to be a low-key week.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. playing games on mommy’s computer
2. being the star of the day at school
3. checking a Biscuit book out from the library
4. Playing outside with Nathaniel
I read your blog everyday through google reader. so far I love the content and what you have been doing. I enjoy your daily diary cause its so real, raw and I can relate to your day to day life. I did enjoy your photography tips you did a while back. It was helpful for a beginner like me. Honestly I just enjoy your blog because of how open you are and whatever you have plan for 2011 am sure will be great!!
hope you get out of your funk soon!!
At that age Riley loved mazes and they make some books of mazes that are math-like. e.g. working through a maze counting up, down, by twos etc. I love the daily diary parts of your blog, even if I am envious of your weather and the amount of stuff you accomplish. I also appreciated the photo information you used to post.
