king george III!

All the boys are sleeping.  In the case of George, this should be a good thing.  But he takes such late naps these days that around 1am he's all smiles and giggle pants and wants to cha-cha (any perfect mother would tell you I am a bad mother for having him up so late).  It's hard to resist.  Regardless, I am letting him set the schedule.  I can't cram his needs into my wants, so I just roll with it.  We somehow get enough sleep, naps, etc.  The kid smiles.  That's the only indicator I need for happiness and mom-is-doing-okayness.  And before you know it, I'll be telling him when we do this and that (bedtime, reading, homework, up by 7!, to sleep by 8!).  He'll complain about it and I will get to tell him that one day, not so long ago, he was the KING OF OUR HOUSE.



The weather is slowly but most definitely changing here.  I know, boring topic, but still.  This means that (at least for me) I get to go outside during the day again!  I'm very sensitive to the heat - like, we all are, okay?  I get so exhausted in extreme temps.  This dates back to my childhood.  I literally turn into a slug in the heat.  I wonder why, when I first moved to FL, that I thought running in the summertime afternoon was a good idea.  It was not a good idea.  I wish I could have those runs back.  But there were only a few of them until I wised up.  I'm looking forward to taking long walks with George - maybe even walking to town (gasp! a mile+ each way - it seems long enough).  I just love when it cools down here and that is starting to happen.  I know, I know, it's still 87 bajillion degrees right now but I swear we can feel a change in the air.  Plus, October is next month.  Do you know what that means?  The man and I turn one year older, Halloween approaches (Kimberlina celebrates another year of marriage!), gah!  I can't wait.

Here's to October, sleeping boys, smiling because you aren't wearing a poopy diaper anymore, and the animal-like way you know the seasons are changing.
