My Boy
I never thought I’d be one of those mothers that constantly finds reason to talk about their kid. But, as it turns out, that’s exactly the kind of mother that I am. Probably because I’m constantly amazed at this little person he’s becoming. I honestly had no idea. I mean, I knew that adding a little person to our world would change the way we view it. I just didn’t know that adding that person would allow me to see it all over again.
Mack celebrated a year on the planet in July. I gave up blogging a few months back because I was so into him (and work, but mostly him. well, and work.) that I didn’t have anything to give the blog. That and the blog had become such a scattered mess it didn’t seem relevant any more. But life couldn’t go on without me marking time in some way. I’m not the journaling kind. Probably because my parents used my handful of sacred Dear Diary moments to track me and my rebel ways back in the day. That beat the diary right out of me. I haven’t kept a baby book. I don’t know why. I just don’t see the point in trying to retrofit those scrapbooks that say Mommy’s name is and Daddy’s name is in a way that works for our family. And I haven’t had the desire to cut a lock of Mack’s hair yet. Its just too cute. The most logical solution was a new blog. Here it is. Cheekymom.com. My new blog about anything that strikes my fancy. But mostly about Mack and how he’s shaping my world and how we’e trying to shape his. Or at least how we’re trying to give him the tools to see that there are so many shapes available to him.
Pull up a seat and stay awhile. I can’t do this without you.
