Blogging and Toddlers
It seems blogger is giving fits and won't allow comments right now.
It could just be their way of 'encouraging' me to switch to the beta..but I am currently working toward actually moving to another blogging system. I am also in the midst of changing web hosting service. As a result, this blog as it is, gets to limp along for awhile until I am ready for the big changes.
Thank you for continuing to visit despite the difficulties.

I spent the morning playing with my toddlers. I finally feel free to call them both toddlers since my 14 mo-old took his foot steps the other night. He is a strong little boy and stands up and squats all the time with no hand holds. He has been very hesitant to walk, however. If I try to get him to stand he lifts his legs up so I can only place him down sitting. If I try to get him to take steps after he has stood up on his own, he drops and crawls even if it is just a half foot distance away. He has been rather stubborn about all of this. So, of course, his first steps did not involve me at all. I was across the room holding the 2 1/2 yr-old. He wanted Grandma to pick him up, but she was in the middle of being Cub Master at the Pack Meeting. Since he wasn't getting picked up, he turned and took two steps to a nearby chair. I missed it of course. I saw him with my mom, and then a moment later I saw him at the chair. She confirmed with me later he had actually taken the steps. The moral of this story? My baby is already deciding the timing of his life. I can't wait to start potty training him. Ugh! I sense that will have to be his doing too.
I have started training the 2 1/2 yr-old. He just has yet to actually do anything on the toilet besides play with himself. LOL..He is a curious little boy. He does like to remove his diaper after a good poo though. Ah the wonders of a new phase. He has started talking more. The doctor was a touch concerned because at his 2 yr check up he wasn't saying all that much and wasn't really putting two words together very well. He now is blossoming. His current favorite word is Apple. We have a couple of books centered around an apple theme, he carries them around with him everywhere. He thrusts them at unsuspecting readers and says, "Apple!". He says the word clearly. Maybe the whole speaking thing has been the obstacle with potty training. He can't tell me, "But Mom, all I want to do is sit here and play with myself. Please stop encouraging me to make faces and push." LOL..Parents through the eyes of a toddler are probably hilarious things.
Tonight is my writing class. Tomorrow my first soccer practice. Nap times are never long enough. Always so much to sit here and do at this computer of mine. (Altho you see I am blogging first. I am so dedicated. He he he.)

I think all kids talk when they are good and ready. I was worried about Nata and then she started talking in full sentences the next month. I woudn't worry.
I hope the potty training goes okay. I heard boys are harder, but I don't know if it's true. LOL about him playing with himself.
I hate Blogger these days too. I've tried repeatedly to leave comments on your blog over the last few days, but it keeps eating them. For some reason, I've had the most trouble on yours. (Don't take it personally. :-)
You gotta admit, oshee that it's gotta feel mighty good having that hot crampy diaper off and letting things wave in the breeze.
And funny thing, yours is the ONLY blog that recognizes me, all the others require my user name and password.
"Naptimes are never long enough".
Truer words were never spoken, lady. :>
About Blogger, I've had trouble posting photos. I can upload only about four at a time, then I have to leave it for a day... weird.
About toddlers, parenting is certainly a lifestyle choice!
