March marched and other news

This morning, I had my work calendar open today to March and started to feel deflated. See, I color code my events by location, and March looked like a RAINBOW. For a moment, I thought I was looking at April and wanted to crawl under the desk and: A. nap; B. cry; C: whimper, D; all of the above. If you guessed D, you are correct!

So, many apologies for the lack of posts.Between work, a mini staycation, sinus funk, and an upcoming Starving Artist production, I am happy to find time to grocery shop, sleep and eat.

I have some photos I shared with family of Shepard's month-long fascination with teeth-brushing. He will run to the bathroom, saying "TEETH!" He has on occasion, tried to use the toothbrush as a hairbrush, at which point I try to explain the difference. He loves to stand on his little green stool and ask about everything in the bathroom--faucet, toothpaste, Mommy's toothbrush, sink, water, wash hands...etc.
We get new words every day. Saturday's word was "chickpeas!" as I was buying some at Target. I generally can't get him to greet folks with a Hi or Hello, but chickpeas we've got down. We are starting to get some sentences, though only intelligible by him. He will start them and end them with words we can understand..."Daddy schmee gah la go?" Things like that. And over the weekend, he seemed to be experimenting with some Forrest-Gump-sounding words like Mah-maaay instead of Mommy. Who knows?

We're looking forward to the next few weeks with Easter, a trip to GA, and Mommaaay and Daddaaay's date night at Les Mis in Greenville. Whew!
I will get some playtime at the park footage up soon. Soon, I say!
