Weece!

The e-mail from my sister-in-law this morning said- look what I found for the first time this morning. I opened the attachment and found this picture. How cute is my neice- Riley? This is Christopher's anthem at the moment. He walks around saying the names of his cousins- "Weece!" (Reece). "Wiley" (Riley). Weece!

Makes me sad though because I cannot even remember the first time I came into his room and found Christopher standing at his rails- although I do know that it is a March development that he has started to attempt jail breaks from his cot- scary and funny all at the same time.

Had a lovely evening out last night and the wonderful peace of mind knowing that Christopher was with Leanne and she again was a little life-saver- sending me those wonderful sms's letting me know how my little guy was doing and when he was asleep.

We saw the Blind Side last night and I can only say that there are some really really incredible people out there. I cannot imagine taking a strange child into my home the way that they did. What a lovely feel good story- even if it did give me ocassion to cry a few times.

I have learned a lovely new word today- snafu. A real word that allows you to swear in polite company because according to dictionary.com it originated around 1940 and is an acronym for (s)ituation (n)ormal: (a)ll (f)ucked (up). 

I am so tired today that I am even jealous of James who has gone home sick to get into bed. I am so looking forward to my bed I cannot tell you. Although Christopher sleeps through he does cry out some nights and I stagger through bleary eyed to plug in bottles and dummies and anything else required by his young lordship. Luckily for me he then falls instantly back to sleep. I am usually not far behind- but sometimes this type of dis-jointed sleeping can leave me feeling like a zombie the next day.

I do not even sew but looking at my cousin's blog I am so tempted to go out and get Amy Butler's book. How cute does this look? I don't know what it is with me. I love to get cookbooks and craft books and just feast my eyes even though I don't cook and generally don't craft.

Yay! It is a long weekend as Monday is Human Right's Day.
