i happen to think he’s brilliant

And this would be one of the many reasons: he’s super in-tune with sounds of all kinds. He often recites things like stories from books and the words of songs, which I find terribly awesome. Somehow, however, his love for sounds themselves is even more intriguing and endearing to me. He picks up on sounds that I have learned to zone out. He doesn’t ignore any of them. He hears every creak, pop, ding, whirr, chirp, and squeak in the world around him.

Even before he could talk, he was an expert at mimicking the microwave, dish-washer, toaster, birds chirping, airplanes flying, and water running, just to name a few.

“Mommy, I hear sound!” flies off his lips with unbridled delight every day, still. I’m adding this to the “joys” category of parenting, and I’m once again incredibly glad that I always have my camera nearby. The days just seem to fly by, but I have these memories documented.

On Sunday, I shared this photo as one of my favorites from the past week:
02.14.10 Yup, he knows what THX is.

He looked for those letters among the rest and laid them out like that on the side of the tub.
Then he did this:

If it doesn’t sound familiar to you, here ya go:

Step two is crucial, really.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without this wonderful How-To from everyone’s favorite gifters.

There really is no occasion you can’t brighten with a dick in a box. And really, it would be nicer than getting a pap smear for Christmas or Hanukkah, right?

Also available on YouTube.

Merry Christmas to you all. May you find love and joy (and maybe even some genitals wrapped in pretty bows) today and for the rest of this season.

I only teach him the most important things.

And if you don’t think this is important, you wouldn’t fit in around here at all.

And I fart in your general direction.

Walk For Maddie

Posted by Lotus, aka Sarcastic Mom in Friends, Love, Making A Difference, Mental/Emotional, Miscellaneous Blabbering, Parenting on April 13, 2009

Scroll down for MoD Walk 4 Maddie Teams list!


April 7th, 2009, Madeline Alice Spohr unexpectedly passed away. Now, people all over are coming together to honor her and her family.  This post will show you a few ways you can do the same.

People around the country are organizing teams to walk in Maddie’s honor at their upcoming March of Dimes Walks. It is so easy for you to join in.  Just sign up with the team close to you and go walk that day.

I’ll update here as new teams are announced.

If you want to join one of these teams and walk for Maddie – please make sure you click over to the team page and sign up to join that team, so that you’ll be on the roster. It’s very easy and free, so make sure you complete that step so each team knows who’s walking with them!

It will ask you to enter an amount as you goal when you sign up.  Just enter anything – you can edit it later if you want. Don’t sweat that part, just throw something down and sign on.
