Yes, we’re at that place already. Picture me pleading with him to just put the shirt on and mommy will give you a marshmallow. I’m starting to give away the clothes I make for him to his friends because it’s less trouble than trying to get him to wear it.

I’m almost falling asleep at my computer today. I’ve been staying up too late at night reading The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo and I finally finished it last night but I’m paying for it today. Headachey, tired.
We’ve had a great week with lots of friends over to play and going to friends’ houses…every day in fact. Yesterday we went to Karen’s house (her E and my E are the same age…so much fun!) and later in the afternoon I had a photo shoot with what I hope will be the last…
