Well Here I Am

Oh no, not another mom blogging about her family! Yep, that's exactly what I am. I figure that's okay since I'll mainly be the one reading this anyway. I recently realized that I have done an abysmal job of recording life in the past 2.5 years since my son (Gavin) was born. This is my way of trying to rectify it. I have a fairly terrible long-term memory and I'm worried that if I don't write down some of this stuff it will be forever gone from me. I am raising a pretty awesome 2-year-old who is quite a character and I don't want to forget any of it...

Like the fact that his second word was Coke (we have his father to thank for that). Or that when we go to the playground he is so proud to introduce me to the other kids by saying "that's my friend mommy" (cue the Awwww's!). Or that for a long time dogs were "ogs" (and that was his first word), cats were "tats", books were "gooks", and the computer was the "pooger" and then the "compooger" and now finally it's a very carefully pronounced "com-pu-ter". Or that when he was not yet 2-years-old he looked very seriously at my mom and said "Grammy, do you have a hangnail?" (I mean come on, what 2-year-old says that?).

There are so many of these amazing gems and I hope that this will be a forum for me to write them all down. So this blog really is for me. And hopefully one day it will be for him.

I should mention that I also happen to have a really awesome husband (Brian). Maybe he'll even read this now and again too!
