It’s Friday again and this will be open all weekend long. So, what is it you want to talk about this weekend? How about your opinion on this “Pig Flu” errrr wait a minute I think it is now called H1N1? My kids of course thought it was Heinie (the butt) hehe.

This week I learned that the baby of the family, now 2, thinks he is invisible if he closes his eyes. I was scolding him, aka talking stern, and he closed his eyes as if he couldn’t see me so I couldn’t see him. I realized what he was doing and tried hard not to laugh.
He’s also afraid of storms and this week we’ve had a lot of them. I believe this fear comes from when we first moved out here (last year) and the sirens would go off and we’d all rush downstairs. Now he hears the clap of thunder and immediately runs to me saying, “Cared.” Meaning scared. Poor baby. Yesterday as we were driving around with lightening and thunder going off everywhere, I turned to check on the kids and saw he had covered himself with his jacket in his carseat. I asked if he was okay and he peeked over one part of the jacket saying, “Cared, momma.”
What does your baby do or say in storms? Lets chat.
I remember babysitting a friend’s boy, way back before I was a mom, and he kept going for something that was not a toy. I said, “No, no,” and he put his hand over his eyes and did it anyway. I realized that he thought I couldn’t see him that way. It was the cutest thing ever.
