Clipping away at the branches

I've muted the TV so that I can listen to my son gurgle, coo, laugh and chat away in his bed. I laid him down 45 minutes ago, after he was moments away from sleep on my chest. All was quiet after I put him to bed and left the room. All was quiet as I mopped the floor. And all was quiet as I settled down on the couch to watch game shows and House, and to surf the net.

I love that I have someone in my life that makes me sit in silence just to listen to his baby jargon. I love that I have a baby to make me wonder about the small things.

So I still have a lot of branches in my head. Here we go.....

I mopped my kitchen floor tonight. You know your not a good housewife when you feel accomplished over mopping. And it's no wonder that I don't mop more often as 15 minutes after I had finished my husband walked across the floor with his muddy shoes. He had watched me mop.....

Colin is getting another tooth. It's finally at the surface, about to cut through. I knew something was going. He's a bit cranky but more tired. Hoping it cuts soon.

I have ordered a birthday boy shirt for Colin, now just have to get the ingredients for chicken noodle soup, biscuits and ribbon for the goody bags. I will try to get all of this done tomorrow so that I can have a couple days to prepare for the day.

My cousin in law showed up and I lost some of the branches that I was going to write about. We'll see if they come back tomorrow.

Disclaimer: My son was still chatting away 1 hour, 15 minutes after I put him to bed.
