A wise man (or woman) once said that "time flies when you are having fun". This was quite an astute observation, this person must certainly have had small children entertaining him or her, for we have been having a lot of fun over here at the Herron household lately! So much fun, in fact, that I hadn't realized how long it has been since I updated this blog. So much has happened since my last post, that I'll just give a few highlights (and try and be better about updating more often :)
- We had such a great time at Christmas this year! Last year, Em made it halfway through her presents, then threw up her hands and pleaded "No more!", it was so overwhelming for her. Not this year though! She would barely tear the last bit of paper off of a gift, when she would be exclaiming "Another Present!". She's already stating almost every day "Another Christmas is coming mama!", where by I answer "It sure is, but it's a LONG time from now...after Easter, after your birthday, after Halloween, after Thanksgiving...". This does not seem to dampen her excitement in the slightest. Oh, to be young again!
- Baby Adam is turning into Toddler Adam right before our very eyes. He is now sporting six teeth, is crawling up a storm, standing up, cruising furniture, and trying to climb onto and over everything he possibly can (including Emily, much to her panic and dismay). This sudden catapult into almost-toddlerdom has led me to prematurely grieve the loss of my "baby", and to occasionally muse that a third child might not be so bad...(which, in turn, has led me to pawn off all of our baby gear to my sister as quickly as humanly possible, as if the absence of baby gear will keep me from having another baby...hey, it sounds good in theory, right?)
- This growing up of my "baby" and the maturing of Emily from toddler into little girl has made it possible for us to actually start doing things together, as in out of the house, and it has been so much fun! We have thus far made trips to the Detroit Science Center (Emily had a blast at their "Kids Town"), the Children's Museum in Flint (where even Baby Adam had great fun, and got to meet others of his own kind), and we are scheduled for a trip to the DIA for some storytime this weekend. In the meantime, I'm going to try and make sure that all of this FUN doesn't keep me from updating more often!
