I just bought the hurricane the cutest thing for Christmas (shh! Don't tell him) AND its fair-trade from 10,000 villages! Very exciting. But maybe I should just give him an apple for Christmas. He'd probably enjoy it more and it would be SOOO little-women-esque. Louisa May does Christmas well.Enjoying the oh so cute pics of the apple of your eye,aunt tish

This was a great post. Those firsts go by too quickly. Enjoy everyone.My 8 year old son discovered today, just how much fun the vacuum cleaner can be. He did his room and part of mine before it wasn't so fun after all.

Next up, give him a banana – my kids love the squish-toy/fruit combo.

Jill, Maybe you're not missing them from the past, maybe you're longing for future days like that to in the present. Or something.Jenny, I want to go to that nursery.Eric, He has toys. I don't want you to get the impression that we lock him in the basement. The toyless basement. Or that we're Quakers. Neither of those things are true. He has toys. He just doesn't really care that he has toys. He does care that he has water bottles. Merkin, and oh how I love to call you merkin. It's so fitting. I'm very glad that you didn't decide to start that little task yesterday, since we all had dinner together last night. It would have really ruined the meal. And I was kidding about the merkin comment. Don't kill me. Please.

Good one. Makes me stop and think that maybe tonight's not the night to start working my way down the "People To Kill" list. It will be so much better if I wait a bit longer this time. Maybe I'll start DURING the parade.

I realize what bad parents we are when I learn that other parents of one-year olds have yet to expose their children to toys, candy and cookies. But at least our little girl does appreciate a good apple. As for what I'm delaying, somehow I've missed out on ever going to New Orleans in my life. I had been looking forward to experiencing that. Now I think I'm just going to wait a while.
