my son is a wreck

my son is an adorable, sweet, hilarious, good natured wreck, but a wreck all the same. in the past couple of weeks he's had a twisted ankle, chomped lip, many, many stubbed toes, many, many smacking of skulls against hard things, and teeth, oh the teeth he has coming in way back there. it is ridiculous. but despite the occasional crappy mood and sleepless night, he is taking it all in stride and now he has something like 30 words that he uses and he stomps around and bobs his head to the music and i absolutely adore him.

it will almost be hard to leave him in preschool when i go back to work and school.

almost.

in other news, i went kayaking in lake washington last night and it was amazing. i am pretty sure i have figured out what i am going to be doing every free minute of this summer. it felt so good to get out on the water and use those muscles again. the physical memory of paddling was so strong and i felt like a little kid again playing in the waves.

Hugs to you and your wreck of a boy, from another wreck and his tired but smitten mama.
