Tis the Season....

For utter chaos and mayhem. It's a madhouse out there. Crazy people everywhere, pushing, shoving, bumping, all for what? I usually love this time of year and I am trying very hard to stay in the spirit. But damn, it's hard. Being pregnant, tired, grumpy and all around kind of out of sorts doesn't help, either. Ah well, I will NOT bah-humbug. Thankfully Wolf has two weeks off and we get to spend some quality time as a family.

No new news on the potty front. He's lost interest for the time being, as was to be expected. He is making huge mental leaps and bounds every day, though. He never ceases to amaze us. His vocabulary has tripled, although it's hard to sometimes understand what he is saying, it's not for lack of trying on his part. And he has gotten very good at telling us exactly what he wants or doesn't want. Unless he is in the middle of a melt-down, which have become quite frequent lately. We think it's because he is getting his 2 year molars in, which I imagine is quite painful, but who knows for sure. Until he can really talk, we can only guess.

He spent this past weekend with his Nana, and as always, had a wonderful time. He loves spending time with both her and Sammy, Nana's dog. When he came home, he looked like a different boy to me. He didn't seem so little anymore, didn't seem like my baby boy anymore. Because I'm with him every day, I don't get to step back and see the changes. It's pretty cool, although pretty sad at the same time. Everyone is always saying how fast time goes by and you don't want to believe it, you want it to slow down so you can enjoy every moment, but it just isn't possible. Guess we can only do our best to try and remember to savor as much of it as we can.

Well, here's to the holidays. May you all have a warm, happy and fun holiday season, wherever you may be. Lots of love from this little Schuster clan.
