God, I had to really stare at the screen to even figure out where to click to post on this thing. I am not loving vox. However, in case LJ really does disappear, here I am.
It feels like it doesn't take all that much to be a lousy parent. I can always be more patient, more understanding, more considerate, more attentive ... I can always be more for our little boy and whenever I am less than I could be for him, I just feel terrible.
I am 33 today! Birthdays are a little different now. When I was (much) younger birthdays used to be all encompassing. I was pretty much always on holiday around birthday time because school had closed for the year so the day started with birthday prezzies and the rest of the day was playing with them, trying them out.
Now as a grown-up birthdays are often caught up in the day to day stuff. Feeding dogs, changing nappies (diapers for my American readers) and so on. One thing I don't do on my birthday anymore is work (at least not a full day - I have a meeting today I have to attend). The last time I did that I was working part-time at a local stationery/book store/music store and it was an awful way to spend a birthday. Since then I have either taken leave or, since starting my own business, just taken the day off.
The one thing I don't want to do is see my birthday as "yet another day". Birthdays are special even if they tend to come around again and again. They are the anniversaries of our entry into this world and given our uniqueness, they should be treasured days.
Anyway, I apparently have a flat tyre which I need to go and change ... :-P
Not only is Aaron standing up by himself, he started walking this week! He is such a cutie and so proud of himself when he walks. Of course he should be. We are so proud of him too!
I don't know what it is today but I am either stuck or have a case of writer's block. I have this report to write and just can't seem to write more than a sentence or two at a time. Very frustrating.
Its been a while since I posted something here about Aaron (ignoring the test post the other day from my phone). Today was a big day for Aaron, he started standing more frequently on his own and took his first few steps!
I had no idea how busy Vox is compared to a high flying service like Twitter. Wow! This is a pretty strong community. Granted it isn't a status update service/microblogging wanna be service like Twitter is but there is seems to be a lot of steam in blogs. They are certainly nothing to be sneezed at, particularly not a service like Vox.
I've just installed the mobile app for my Nokia E71 and I'm trying it out.
I gave birth to my second son almost 2 months ago. it was a completely natural birth (outside!) and was the most amazing experience of my life. You can read my full birth story on my blog-- http://goodknits.com/blog/2008/06/16/the-sidewalk-birth/
Things have been going rather well around these parts. :)
Friends of ours, Vincent and Daniella, posted a video of their little one walking. I had to re-post the video. He is so cute and I love the big smile at the end for dad!
