Goes down smooth
Sweet, memorable moments.
Dropped The Boy off at school and came home with The Kid. He naps in the morning, but he went to bed mighty early last night, so this morning's nap might be short or canceled. I put him down and let him scoot around while I put snowy shoes away and hung up his down jacket. He was pretty peaceable, so I trusted him downstairs for a moment while I came up to change my shirt.
As I rebuttoned, I heard him downstairs, clanking happily, so I took an extra minute to check for an email from Chris. Nothing there, but I still heard him bonking on plastic animals and toy cell phones, so I took an extra minute to drink coffee and read the back half of the newspaper. Finally, one sane moment of respite later, I came back downstairs where I found him still contentedly bonking away on his toys.
Eating a stick of butter.

Yet another indicator, it seems to me, that he is clearly, somehow, MY child. First the knees, then the beer, now this....
I'd forgotten the beer!

The interesting thing about trying to keep this up has been this: I'd never noticed it before, but when I try to tell a story, I'm a Hemingway impersonator. I didn't know it, because I really like using long, rambling, ridiculous sentences [like this one], but when I'm just sitting down to tell a story, it inevitably comes out with the structure that this post had:
I did something. He does something, but might not. I did something, and he did something. He did nothing else, so I did something else.
While I did something, he did something, so I did something. He did something else, so I did something else. Then I did something else, and he was doing something else.
And also something else.
