That is unreal about Alex! You must want to pad the whole house. I thought Gus would be a climber (my sister was, she once swang on the chandelier!) but luckily he was not. He did have an uncanny knack as a less than 2 yr old for finding the most dangerous place to be in the house, though.

We are 1/3 through season 2 of VM and it is still great! Our whole house has a crush on Logan, is that wrong?

P.S. thanks for the swell card!!!

I thought there were 2 kinds of obsessive-type people:

1. The kind of person who is like Adrian Monk–fastidious, neat, germ-free, orderly. I guess that’s OCD.

2. The kind who sees nothing at all odd about ordering and watching an entire season (within a day or 2) of “Monk” from Netflix.

#1 was my bout with nesting when pregnant w/Alexander (t-shirt sorted by color! Major cobweb removal! Sorting system files at work!). This is not the normal me.

#2…welcome to my world! It’s less useful (not to mention messier) but more fun.

It’s odd to have a person who’s like you (especially since I’m not much like anyone in my birth or adoptive or both families). Max gets an idea in his head, maybe something that went wrong at school or something he wants. We’ll say “just stop thinking about it!” and he says “I can’t!!!” Sorry about the genes, kid!

Meanwhile, Ben’s mom says Ben has finally gotten the baby he deserves in Alex–he can’t walk but he can climb, he thinks it’s hilarious to do the Nestea plunge off whatever he’s just scaled, and he bites! He bit me on the leg! Luckily Ben grew out of all these habits (thank goodness he’s not falling off furniture!), so there’s hope.
