Alabama Bound

Chaz reporting:



We are taking a scouting trip to Huntsville this week...2 days of "preliminary" house hunting. Our house here in Florida is on the market...listed but not yet being shown. The move is getting close and we are working fast and furiously to get ready. We won't be buying until our house here sells, but we are going to start looking and be ready to pull the trigger as soon as we sell...

Rest In Peace.

Turtlehead

Chaz reporting:

Yesterday, standing right in the middle of Target, Morgan put Turtle on top of her head and loudly proclaimed, "Look...TURTLEHEAD!" She is fully aware of the scatalogical implications of the word, and made up her little joke all by herself, and enjoyed it immensely judging by the laughter which followed. Here's a picture of her reliving the moment for Mommy at bedtime:



It would appear the early indications of a sense of humor in this one are bearing themselves out.

Today, on the other hand, we had our first full-blown temper tantrum. She was playing outside with the 2 little girls who just moved in next door while I was working on cleaning up the garage. When I was done, and it was time to go in, I told her so. She wasn't done playing with her new friends, and wasted no time in letting me know. It went downhill, fast, from there, complete with screaming, crying, and kicking. It was very...draining. On the other hand we felt very bad for her, since she doesn't get to play with other kids too often lately and she really wants to. After she calmed down, I think we succeeded in letting her know she could play with her new friends again the next time we saw them, and that her behavior wasn't acceptable. Hopefully it sunk in.

Somewhere, my Mother is laughing at me right now ("Someday you're gonna have a kid just like you").
