Do you ever get stuck on a word? Then you find yourself using it over and over again. It just pops out of your mouth before you even have a completely conscious thought of the word. My word lately has been "fantastic. I use it all the time. Sometimes it bugs me and sometimes I think, well, whatever it is just IS fantastic.
The word seems to pacify my chatty 3 year old on a regular basis. For that alone I can love the word. In that very instant it is indeed fantastic.

First Steps!
the youngest child of the family is viewed as the party animal, the entertainer who is unafraid to test his or her luck. They are also thought of as the baby of the family and an outgoing charmer. While this is certainly not true of all youngest siblings, proponents of this theory state that the youngest of the family is an endearing, and delightful friend.
Baby took her first steps today!! 2 in a row while the rest of us were in attendance, naturally! She is 10 months and 3 weeks old. She is a long ways from a full time walker...but the beginning is there to be sure.
What a busy month. My blog is dusty once again. In October we have 3 family birthdays and they pretty much occupies my bloging time for the month. I have a few thoughts in my head more then once while cleaning something, but I never actually got to the puter to put then down.
Birthdays are a big deal to me. Big. For me, my childrens' birthdays are not just special because they are the day they were born. Because that alone is a big deal and worth celebrating to be sure. But it is the day that I was chosen. Chosen by their other Mothers to be Mom. To me this day is like the day biological Mothers find out they are pregnant, announce that they are pregnant and then actually become mothers all in one moment. Its a big deal.
It is also a day of loss for their Other Mothers. I always have that in the back of my mind. I know somewhere out there they are thinking about these sweet children. How could they not? I feel compelled to honor those thoughts. To celebrate them.
And so October is just busy for me. Two of my kiddos have birthdays, and for fun, my hubby has his too. All in a 5 day spread. We made it through all that celebrating again. And this year, I think I actually had fun. I'm getting better at this!
