Mar. 29th, 2007 08:08 pm- Brandon is talking lots and getting more articulate. He's also getting a bit ornery in his old age: "Me don't have to" and "don't yell at me" are two new phrases. He likes to "go ride in car" and, whenever we're not letting him watch Veggie Tales, he insists "me go up to room." He's not sleeping overnight in his room yet, because we don't have rails on the large bed and can't find the hardware to fit together the crib-sized bed. He sings along with the Veggie Tales theme song. He's got a brand new haircut and it makes him look older - one might think he is 3 or 4 instead of a mere 2.5! He just fell on his nose.

No actual writing - poetry or short fiction or otherwise - has happened for the same reason. Likely not to have any writing until I get a laptop; not likely to get a laptop for a while. Of course, I'll also be able to write when Justin moves out and I turn his bedroom into an office. The laptop is likely to happen first. Sitting right next to the TV while everyone is watching and talking just isn't conducive to writing - another reason even updatia posts like this have fallen behind.

She does show me the pictures, once in a while, at least!
