Here Comes Trouble

Seriously, how cute is my son?

His name is Reggie Turdsmore and he is a model for Baby Gap. Doesn't he look like a thinker?

Here he is with his lion mane wig dealie on. I think it makes him look like Rick James.

Henry has entered a stage of development where he is learning many new words every day. He remembers names, places, animals. It is really crazy.

This is our clawfoot tub that I refurbished. I got it off of Craigslist for a few hundred bucks and just did a little sanding and painting and what not and there you go!

Here is a before photo to illustrate the elegance that I am capable of with clawfoot tub restoration and in marrying up. I bet she could get a job on The Price is Right.

The past week has been pretty exhausting. No time to work on the house. I had a continuing education class all week on time-value of money theory. Imagine a room full of cool people discussing very interesting things interupted by exquisite catering. It was pretty much the opposite of that.

We have been trying to prepare Henry for the arrival of baby LaTeesha. He kisses Mama's tummy and points at it and says "baby".

Henry & House Updates

Henry continues to produce very decent art work. Markers and crayons are his favorite medium.

He was bitten at daycare today. It left a mark.

Henry loves playing with Little People and action figures and what not. He calls them his "guys".

Yesterday we were playing this game where I would say "who farted?" and we would point at each other and say "you". Then, one time, I asked him again and he said "Jo Jo" -- one of his buddies from daycare. Maybe you had to be there. I just thought it was cool that he already knows how to blame other people for stuff. He is growing up to be such a fine young boy.

He is totally off the nuk.

Our laundry room is a shade of plum. We had our belated painting party last weekend and got quite a bit done. Many thanks are in order to those who showed up to lend a hand. Grandma Judy has been a varnishing work horse. Grandpa Fred and Jonny and Brenda painted and primed on Saturday and Sunday. Thank you so so much. There is still a fair deal of painting to go. After that, I lay tile and put down the wood flooring. Hopefully, the cabinets and countertops will be done soon after that. After that -- trimming and what not... who knows.
