My boy and his kingdom

So now I'm on my regular work schedule -- 24 hours each weekend split into 2 12-hour night shifts. It's not really that bad until about 4am the second night and all my patients are sleeping and there's nothing to do. Then I struggle...even with 24oz. of the Green Caffeine on board. Fortunately, I've sufficiently recovered to update our blog.

Big Boy and Papi got to hang out and do guy stuff this weekend while I worked/slept. Apparently, my boy has it in his mind that any creature that qualifies as an animal is a dog and should, therefore, bark. He pointed at the dogs in one of his books and said (appropriately) "arf-arf". However, when I took him to see some goats at a petting zoo, when Papi took him to the park to see the ducks, and when he saw horses on TV, he said the same thing. It was not until today when we went back to see the goats (who tried to eat his finger) that he made the appropriate goat sound. Not bad for a 13-month old. He also enjoys helping me throw things away, especially his used diapers. He'll grab it from me as soon as I take it off him so we can go to the trashcan...he throws it in and then claps for himself!

If you haven't had kids, I highly recommend it, when you're ready. We are nuts about ours!
