love

Since I've recently spent time moaning about the transition Silas has been undergoing these past few weeks, I realized I needed (yet again) a perspective change. I think it's those things that we teach and preach that often elude our own practices!
There are so many quirky and amazing things that Silas does on a regular basis, and I just don't want to forget them, nor do I want to wish away some of life's greatest moments. So here's my "loving the twos" list:

~ I love how Silas wants everyone to enjoy whatever food he is eating. He will demand that you try any food he's currently consuming with pleasure. Hungry or not, you better figure out a way to make him think you ate it (and liked it)!
~I love how he congratulates himself on any and everything he thinks is worth an applause with a boisterous high-pitched YAY!

~I love how he loves to be around a group, and group, even if they are is animal friends.
~I love how when you play "hide and seek, " with him, he can't stand to hide for more than two seconds before running out and giving himself away. (He's a much better seeker than hider.)
~ I love his laugh when he's doing something that you've said no one else does (like sneaking some raw whole wheat flour as seen above).
~I love his excitement when I play his favorite playlist of music. He just can't believe that all his favorite songs are continuously played back to back. (On the top of the list are "Happy" and "All the People Said Amen!" you can't help but love these songs too.)

~I love how he started saying he's going to work to type (apparently that's what daddy does for a living). Then he'll immediately return, say hello, and when prompted, "how was your day?" he always says fun (I hope it's always that way buddy!).

~I loved watching him go up down up down on his first carousel ride (and I love how he chose to ride the frog).

Silas, no matter how bad your day is (or mine), or how unpleasant you may seem, I will always love you so much!

"His legs flail about as if independent from his body!"

If you are a "Friends" watcher as I have been known to be, you will appreciate that quote. I am getting to see the Chandler Bing's greatest fear--Michael Flatley and the "Lord of the Dance" performance. I am so excited! I've seen a lot of different types of performances in my lifetime (even the gravely strange or soberly artistic modern dance shows), but I've never seen an Irish Riverdance! My mom got tickets for us back in October for my birthday. She is so astute and thoughtful! In case you aren't familiar with "Lord of the Dance." Here is what Wikipedia has to say about Mr. Flately's Dance: "Lord of the Dance is an Irish musical and dance production that was created, choreographed, and produced by Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, who also took a starring role. Michael Flatley found his first fame starring in Riverdance, but he left the show in 1995 before its debut in London after a disagreement over creative control. F

When you smile...

The whole world smiles! This was his very first "conscious smile" Who says you can't dress up little boys for fun too? Silas enjoyed sleeping at the lake instead of fishing or swimming. Anyone surprised? Our newest pastime consists of singing to Silas until he shows us his new array of smiles. Matthew discovered this newest ability when he began singing a classical ballad... I won't embarrass him by naming the lyrics. It doesn't matter how tired you are, this will make everything better! I mean come on. Are you still having a bad day? Did that make it better yet!? Had my  first few outing without the little man to go to coffee, dance, and this beautiful woman's wedding shower. Love you Christi! Thanks to my old roomie for some over-sized coffee mugs to start my day right. A cup of joe and the Word make life worth living. This is his favorite gesture.  I think he's solving the world's problems. That a boy Silas. I knew

The CubBuster's still got it!

Yes that's right, the Atlanta Braves 2010 opening season began against the infamous Chicago Cubs. My co-worker, office-mate, and dear friend Peter Collman is a baseball (well I guess all sports) fanatic, and knew that to start the season right, he needed to invite the CubBuster to be sure the Braves started the season with a win! The second game of the season started off slow with a 1-0 lead for the Braves, but at the beginning of the 8th, Atlanta was losing to Chicago 2-1. Although others may be slightly tense at this predicament, I was calm and collected knowing I possessed a special gift of busting up on a certain kind of cub. Thank goodness I've still got it (and I guess Chipper still has it too!). Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning and held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win! The CubBuster lives on! Thanks Pete for a fun night! You can see other pics from Turner Field on my Pictures page... ~THE CubBuster
