Get Over It

It's such a stupid thing.

I have so much worse things to worry about. Bigger things to regret.

So many people have so many larger worries. They have so many greater sorrows.

Even if it had worked out, I'd probably have stopped by now, or at least, greatly reduced the amount.

Knowing all of this, why does the mere mention of breastfeeding still make me cry with sadness?

Day brighteners

Just a couple of short Robbie videos to brighten your day.

This one started as an attempt to get Robbie smiling, but ended up with a little more doggy lovin' that I think Robbie bargained for.

And this is just Robbie's latest "trick." All he wants to do these days is pull up on my hands.

Robbie's B-day party

The party was a big success. We had about 25 people total.

There was a brief hiccup in the morning when the lawn mower wouldn't start. But David borrowed a neighbor's mower and did the front and we moved the party up there, so it was okay. There's more shade there anyway.

Robbie did well. He loved the other kids and paid mostly no attention to the other adults.

He didn't really eat any cake, but he did mash his hands in it a bit and got frosting everywhere.

After a fiasco trying to order a fish cake from a local bakery, my friend Lisa swooped in and saved the day and made an amazing one for us and even brought a smash cupcake for Robbie. She totally rules.

Robbie was tuckered out after the party and even took a 2 hour nap. (Which is unheard of for him.)

He got lots of great toys and a ton of books, and a few outfits. We didn't get ANY duplicates and Robbie loves his stuff.

Without further ado- Pictures!

I am one today.
