I started my morning off with spilled milk, frosted flakes scattered across the floor and a lost $20 mail in rebate prepaid debit card. And yes I did cry over spilled milk this morning. Caleb was playing with his damned sippy cup on the table. I thought those Nuby sippy cups were the answer to my prayers for a painless transition from bottles to sippies. Caleb only used bottles heavily for about 6 months between his 9 month old nursing strike an switching to sippy cups full time around 15 months old. I was worried about the bottle transition horror stories I had heard, but now I curse the day I junked up my drawers with those Nubys. The thing landed on the floor and about 10 ounces of milk exploded everywhere. The screw on lid and the soft spout shot in opposite directions. I mopped up the mess, snatched the drawer open and threw the remaining cups of that type in the trash (the spouts were messed up on most of them and they leaked horribly anyway), then proceeded to take his bib off and dump frosted flakes everywhere. I then tore the house apart for that prepaid Visa from a Radio Shack mail in rebate. It was still stuck to the paper waiting to be activated, and I’m assuming I dropped it somewhere.  Scott got out of the shower and Caleb pushed the door open and said, “Mommy a wittle bit fwustwated.”  You can’t help but smile. That is, if you weren’t crying over spilled milk.

He just amazes me with the things he picks up and puts away in his little filing cabinet on top of his shoulders.  This age is the best for asking them to say a big word just to see how is sounds repeated back (like his monster truck maximen on da stwuction for Maximum Destruction).  He has started dragging out the names of his trucks like the announcer does at the show. I looked at him today and said “You’re such a mess, you sure are cute.” “I am Mom, I am.”

Tonight I started out the door to return some movies to Blockbuster and he came tearing after me yelling, “Mom you forgot me! You forgot me Mom!”  How could I ever forget him? It’s just not possible.
