yesterday when i picked mikhai up from ms. tee's and he realized that i was there, instead of walking to me and giving me hugs and loving on me, he walked right to his bag, grabbed it and handed it to me. "okay mom, i'm ready to go". ms. tee said that his aunt has been training him at her house.

i'm not too sure what's going on with him at night. he has not slept all night since sunday night. every night he has woken up and not gone back to sleep until i pick him up and put him in bed with me. (even then he wakes up several times crying.) he won't even lay there and cry himself to sleep. he wakes up, comes to the corner of his crib where i am sleeping and holds his arms out for me. the only thing i can think of is that his teeth are bothering him. i guess i'll try to give him some teething tablets tomorrow night (i won't be home most of the night tonight...have to work)

i am so not looking forward to this weekend. i have to work tonight, tomorrow, sunday, monday and tuesday at LSP. and monday i have to work at my full time job also. good God i'm gonna need a vacation!

many hospital trips with my son and broken bones.

he is a dare-devil! for his birthday he got a little tykes bike and we still have the box in the living room cuz he likes to play with it. well last night he stood on top of the box and was dancing like he does on the coffee table and he decided that he wanted down so he just stepped off the side. (not once, but twice he did this) the side was a 12"-16" drop to the floor. he stepped off and plopped on the floor face first. oh! his bike....it is the kind that has the handle for the parent to use to push them when they are just getting started. well, mikhai was standing on his bike backwards and leaning against the handle....and tipped the bike backwards and landed on his face. again, he did this not once, but twice. mom said i did a really good job in not laughing at him....lol.

so, i see in my future many visits to the hospital.

it is a good thing that i don't get freaked out about things cuz if i did, my son would probably kill me by the time i'm thirty. last night i watched my son climb the ladder to get into the pool. it's not stairs, it's a friggin ladder!!!!!!! when i asked him what he was doing he turned around and i got this "duh mom, what's it look like i'm doing" stare. he is too smart for his own good.

mom said they went swimming saturday night and apparently they were taking too long to get outside cuz he told them plain as day to "hurry up".

i was fighting with krys in the living room early yesterday morning and he told me to "stop". i just kinda looked at him. excuse me?!?!

he got on the coffee table and danced to the ending credits of madagascar. it's so cute! he'll stomp his foot and bounce and turn around.

well, the man interest has been confirmed as reciprocating interest , but further progress has been put on hold until further notice.

he is currently trying to get rid of a nasty thing called a wife. (and boy is she a nasty (mean) one too...i've listened to some of the voicemails from her. yowsas!) so, i've got the friendship still, but anything else will have to wait. which i'm cool with. i don't want to be the cause of any more problems between the two of them...there are plenty.

yesterday my mom and dad took mikhai to aunt diane's place for a father's day cookout. kimmy and larry were there and mikhai and larry played hard, so i'm told. after they ate mom and kimmy let larry and mikhai go out side and play in the yard. mom said that they had to have a bath afterwards because my son was trying to look like larry (he's bi-racial and my son is very much a little white boy). mom said that mikhai had mud all over the place....in his diaper, under his arm-pits, in his hair. apparently they had a very good time.
