The Boy
MY LEVEL OF FRUSTRATION WITH BLOGGER HAS REACHED AN ALL-TIME HIGH...FOR SOME REASON, I CANNOT POST PICS RIGHT NOW...BOTH THIS POST AND THE "IT HAD TO BE YOU" POST WERE COMPLETED TWO WEEKS AGO, BUT I WAS TRYING TO POST PICS...HENCE THE DELAY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CONFUSION RE. DATES AND TIMES. I GUESS I COULD GO IN AND MAKE SOME CHANGES, BUT THAT WOULD TAKE EFFORT AND THAT IS JUST NOT MY BAG BABY. SO, ENJOY THIS NONETHELESS.
EDITOR IN CHIEF
As many of you loyal readers have probably noticed, I have made many a snide comment about my son, Hagen. From referring to him as a screamapillar to constantly referencing his inate ability to annoy me. Trying to include him as part of the sale of the house. Well, it has come to my attention that some people who may not truly understand my sense of humor are starting to worry that my love for my crying, whining, mama's boy son Hagen is not as great as my love for my beautiful, intelligent, perfect daughter, Liska. This could not be farther from the truth. :-)
Seriously, Hagen has evolved into an amazing kid. He has a lot of the same qualities of Liska in that he is quick with a smile, shows signs of great intelligence and is very observant. He is also a damn fine looking kid. ;-) To quote a 10 year old neighbor girl "when Hagen is older, girls will walk by him and say ooh la la." What he brings to the table that Liska did not is a real sense of adventure. He is into everything. He has already climbed the stairs in record time...will be walking before we know it and is making some sounds that are starting to sound like actual words (mommy and daddy mostly). Now, this doesn't mean that he and I don't duke it out sometimes...I think that is a good thing though. He pushes the envelope a little more than Liska and that is just fine. It is part of his endless charm.
Anyway, I wanted to get that straight. I love my son. For now. He better watch his step though...
