My Son, the Rock Star

Apparently I’ve been working too hard lately, because to my surprise, I have come to find that my son is in fact a rock star.  My son is now 2 and when he isn’t jumping off of things, dumping things on the floor, or growling at people, he is mimicking everything he hears or sees – most often his big sister.  Sometimes she finds it annoying, but usually it is cute and amusing and she runs with it.  He is a little wise guy and she give him all the fuel he needs to ham it up.

It has been a busy month.  Since my last post, I’ve spent the majority of my free time shopping, planning parties or going to parties (most of which have been for my daughter who just turned 5).  I’m now 4 states south of home visiting with my parents for a week (and having additional birthday celebrations as well as early Christmas gift exchanging).  Meanwhile I have my BlackBerry on me which seems to indicate new messages constantly at all hours of the day and night.  So so far my vacation has yet to feel very relaxing and this holiday season feels like more work than fun.
