He's a BOY!

So ever since I have started my blog I have been in a constant quandary about what to blog about....hence the absence from the blog. I wander around thinking that this or that would make a cute entry but never actually get around to blogging it. So today you could hear about L being sick (yuck!) or how I decluttered my apartment (boring!) but I decided that I would like my fellow bloggers to answer me a question....Why oh why does everyone think my boy is a girl?

Granted L is a very pretty baby...even if I do say so myself! But I don't dress him in girly colors or even colors that could be unisex, no yellows or pastels on this boy. As further evidence that he is a boy he loves to play with the computer, anything that has lights, plugs, outlets, cords, blocks, and sharp objects, he even thinks that my nipple is a button and presses it while we're nursing! So why then do people always assume that my army green wearing, button pressing boy is a girl?

Is it because he's afraid of santa?




Maybe its because his sister likes to make him wear pink boas???



Or could it possibly be because we made him wear a silly headband for the 4th of July?


(In my opinion he looks very happy to be wearing it)

whatever the reason may be...I ask why? Does this look like a girl to you?

(Very scary!!)

Fruit Loops and Art

Today we went to the Brooklyn Museum for a kiddie story and some general kiddie fun. All is going well and then we get to the lets make patterns with blocks and cubes and HOORAY....Fruit Loops! Great, the last thing I want my kid eating is fruit loops...true they don't have to eat them, but who can resist the colors and the smells and the annoyingly perky helper telling them to eat the fake fruity loops! Argh. Just so you don't think I am some kind of food nazi being overly controlling of what my children are ingesting why don't you just peruse the nutritional facts/ingredients:

	Kellogg's® Froot Loops® - Multi-grain, fruit flavored loops cereal. Good source of 8 essential vitamins and minerals. Low fat. Meets the requirement for 1 bread serving. Made in U.S.A. WHAT THE....???? So don't worry about whole grain bread folks, my kid had her serving of fruit loops.

Valentines Day

I know what you're thinking, what do vday and Lost have in common? Nothing, but the 3rd episode just happened to fall on Vday. And since we don't have a TV my sweet valentine lugged a huge TV up from the basement so we could watch it right then instead of waiting for it to come on ITunes. I know I know, could we be any more romantic? Thats what 7 years will do to ya!

Back From the Dead

So, I am feeling a little left out of the cyber world these days. Everyone has a blog. I know what you're thinking...you have a blog. True. But I don't post and I don't obsess about comments and i don't spy on other peoples blogs. Its time for us to get with it and really immerse ourselves in this new culture that is the blog.

It might not be the funniest or most interesting blog in the blogosphere, but we'll do our best to keep you all up to date on our oh so interesting lives! So sit back and enjoy the fun!
