WxUSAF Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 If DCA has a high of 29F on Thanksgiving like the 0z Euro shows (Ian posted in the Disco thread), then I will personally eat a 12lb To-furkey and post the aftermath pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Well to be fair, it is just as busy there as our severe threads during the summer. Zing! On most days in the summer I would log on in the morning and the only unread thread was Kevin's rolling obs. 9 of them this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'm a mom to an 11 month old today... where the f has the time gone? tell me about it my oldest in her 20's moved out at the beginning of the month....where the he!! did those years go? I've teared up a few times the first week....tough the only thing that saved me was how great it is for her to move out after landing a decent job in this economy but I texted her yesterday after visiting that I should make visiting a habit to remind her why she wanted to move out and to minimize any feelings of being homesick!

It's becomes much more fun and engaging a little later on. And certainly less day to day work. The age 6-12 years are awesome. Much less worry. When I see my 9 year old boy go out into the back yard with a hatchet in one hand and an airsoft in the other I don't even think twice now. 5 years ago I would have stopped him.

Now that she is walking, all the time, she is even more exhausting than she was when crawling. She has figured out how to open cabinets, climb onto things (like our platform bed and a toy chest of hers). We really cannot let her out of our sight at all now.

I call my two girls(age 7&5) free range chickens cause they play in the front yard all the time doing whatever. As long as there aren't explosives being handled I let them do whatever. i will say that a few of their baby dolls have had some serious injuries tho but duct taping plastic is not nearly as expensive as ER triage.

She has figured out how to open cabinets, climb onto things (like our platform bed and a toy chest of hers). We really cannot let her out of our sight at all now. Although the B isn't walking quite yet, she's been crawling for three freaking months and moves like a cheetah. Cabinets have been secured since she's all about them. The pup actually loves her more than anything now - he'll take the random pokes and pulls asking as she feeds him from her high chair. It's a symbiotic relationship.

WxUSAF Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Last week I was looking at pictures of my kids in snow over the last few years. My daughter wasn't even 2 during the winter of 09-10 when my son was born (right after the 2nd February storm). She couldn't even really do anything in the snow because it was so deep. She walked out into the garage and the snow was nearly up to her head. She'd walk around the driveway after I shoveled. The next winter (10-11), she pulled her baby brother around the sidewalk on a sled. He didn't much care for the cold. It definitely goes by really fast...
