Bink And Plue, Mum!

The most adorable things have been chiming out of this sweet little boys' mouth...he is now saying "Mum" "Mommy" "Mama" ect. to me/when he wants me as much as he is saying "Dad" "Daddy" "Dadda" to/about his old man. Also, he repeated "Bink and Plue"----the names of our spiders, Pink and Blue!
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!

Good Daddy!

Tuesday, 27 September: A special shoutout to wish a happy belated birthday to Osrid Olov's uncle Dodo, who turned 27 yesterday!

& Now the news: our little one has broken his record thus far and has made 7 tinkles on his potty today. Go Osrid! What a clever little tinkler. He said what had to be the cutest thing I think I have heard him say, when Paul praised him post tinkle with a "Good Ozzie!" he replied with a smile and said "Good Daddy!" "aww, why thank you 'Srid!" Doesn't that make your heart melt? It makes my heart melt.

We have been walking around quite a bit, which is really wearing and tearing my poor fibromyte (read: vax-injured) body, but I want to be better about getting O.O. out in the fresh air now that the sun is majoratively gone (sun allergies). All I want to do lately is sleep. It can so hard sometimes to do the right thing when you're ill, but Osrid Olov comes first and foremost in my life above all others, even myself, and it will always be so! I sure do love my kid, and I sure do feel lucky. It keeps raining when we go out though, which is frustrating as, well, as much as I love the cold I am not much for cold water. Drat.

A footnote, I had to add: I managed to catch one of the nasty gnats and tossed it into the web one of the spiders who lives in our bathroom. She ran out and wrapped it up right away and looked very happy, which sure made me happy too :D I love feeding spiders!

Rain Comes Down...

It's Saturday, 24 September.

I can't say I've had much news of interest to post as of late, I guess things have just been going as they should. Our little comrade Osrid Olov has been really expanding his vocabulary the past couple of days-oh the words he has been saying are absolutely out of this world! He is really testing out the beginning of the alphabet, using words like "Apple" and "Anger" (he really likes this one, but says it even when he is happy and giggling! Odd little man!!!). He is still saying "I like it" to so many things-he really likes the things he does and is so very passionate. Just like his Mommy :)

We took a little walk downtown today, just the two of us-Paul was a bit worn out feeling-there was some music festival going on but it was not very loud nor was it that crowded considering. It was a busy day, but, for what it was, not very bad at all-no more so than your usual summer day full of out-of-towners. The strange part was that Adrian Edmonson (Eddie from Bottom) was, supposedly, down in Looe today-considering this you would think it would have been PACKED, right? I didn't even know he was down there, but Paul told me after I had already got home. That is a real shame as I would have liked to have seen him. We might go back though, he is supposed to be here through the weekend.We'll see. We saw Claire downtown today, which was nice especially as I don't think she has met O.O. yet, and she let me use her phone since I needed to get ahold of Paul. It started to rain while we were out, I wished I had taken a better jacket for O.O., but I just decided to head back (in a taxicab) early. Osrid was so very quiet and well behaved-and shy, as he always is whenever I take him anywhere. My cute little guy didn't make a peep until we got back inside...and then he was back chattering away, telling Daddy all about how his walk went. "DADDY, HI! HEY DADDY, HEEY!"...that's my boy.
