This is the busiest time of the year for me at work (which really stinks because so many people I know are on their summer break). I’m in the middle of buying books for the fall (AKA the fourth quarter, the money maker) and we’ve got our storewide inventory on Sunday, which is keeping me extra busy this year since our longtime tech guy left this year and I’m having to run the whole shebang.
All that by way of excuses for why I’ve been ignoring the blog. And, really, I’ve got nothing for you right now either except a copy of an email I sent my grandmother a week ago. She liked it so much I thought I could make it a quick blog post (at least enough to assuage the grandmas).
Here goes:
Oliver is doing great. He is really into hugs and kisses lately (he tackled a little boy to the ground at the bookstore the other day trying to hug him). He won't really give hugs if you ask him to but every once in awhile he'll sneak up on you and throw his arms around you. It's the sweetest thing and looks a bit like this:
Chris was staying with us last week and Oliver spent lots of time giving Chris hugs.
Of course, he also likes to hug his big brother, Miles. Which ends up looking a lot like this:
Miles LOVES Oliver. He will let the kiddo cuddle with him all day.
When he's not showering everyone with affection he's running wild around the house. His favorite time of the day is "Naked Time." After his evening bath we give him a good ten minutes to run around without a diaper or clothes on to dry off (we've done this for months and amazingly we've only had one accident... it happened tonight). Naked Time ends up looking a lot like this:
and this:
So much fun! He adores that tractor push toy that his Grandpa gave him at Thanksgiving. He pushes and drags that thing all over the house now.
That’s it from us for now. I promise more next week once inventory is over.
But here’s a teaser
TANTRUMS.
Which looks a little like this:
