I know I haven’t been posting much lately, so here are a few moments you’ve missed:

SNAPSHOT 1: MY POOR BALD BABY

Me to Peter: “Today I finished updating Alethea’s baby book up through ‘My 12th month’.  Now I don’t have to update it again until either ‘My 2nd Birthday’ or ‘My First Haircut’.”

Peter: “I’m not placing a bet on which one of those is going to happen first.”

SNAPSHOT 2: NAP TIME

Me to Alethea: “Hey you, I think it’s time for a nap.”

Alethea: promptly heads for the stairs to go up to her room.

Me: Thinking about how far we’ve come from the screaming 3 month old who wouldn’t sleep anywhere except occasionally her swing and only then when she was too exhausted to keep her eyes open.

SNAPSHOT 3: DON’T NEED THOSE ANYMORE

Me: Putting away all of Alethea’s new clothes that she got for her birthday, but having a hard time fitting them in her dresser.  Realized I could probably pack away the whole drawer of burp cloths that I haven’t needed in several months.  So nice that Alethea has finally outgrown her reflux.

SNAPSHOT 4: 3/4 TIME IS TRICKY

Me to Piano Student: “What’s the time signature of this piece?”

PS: “Three-four.  I don’t like three-four time.”

Me: “Why not?”

PS: “I had a hard time with that one song in three-four.  You know, the ‘Peanut Duet’.”

Me: “You mean the ‘Petite Minuet’?”

PS: “Yeah, that one.”

Me: Laughing so hard it takes me a full minute before I can resume teaching.

Hope you enjoyed those.  I’m sure there were other moments that I meant to blog about, but I can never remember them when I actually sit down at the computer.  I should probably start writing them down or something.
