* Seneca loves the bathtub. She splashes so much that I really wouldn't be any wetter if I just got in there with her. Seriously, it requires a change of clothes when I'm done bathing her.
* Cooper knows the months of the year. I think he has for some time, but I just learned this this week. All due to Janna and a song at preschool!
* Beckham benefits from having music on around him. A dear friend helped me realize this. No wonder music has been on my mind lately! So glad to have someone help me make that connection.
* Beckham also loves Cooper. He gets the most smiles.
* Gassiness is directly related to reflux in Beckham's case. Sure would have been nice to know that a month ago!
* Seneca loves Beckham. She will make any effort possible to be where he is. She made her way up the stairs, down the hall and stopped at Beckham's door where she could hear him crying. Then she started crying. Kindred spirits?
* Denten and I have a good balance going. On the frequent occasion that I am overthinking something, he's able to see it in a much simpler way. On the rare occasion his mind is working overtime, I have the ability to see the bigger picture.
* (This one's for Deirdre who thinks my relationship with my cars is sooo strange) Dutch thinks he is smarter than me. When it's raining, he will automatically turn his windshield wipers on for me, which I appreciate, but this week he got the wrong impression that the windshield was dirty and started spraying wiper fluid all over and cleaning it. Not necessary, Dutch. We have lots of construction going on around us and as I hit a bump, Dutch took it to mean that we were on "rough terrain" and put his extra stabilizing censors to work for me. Kind, but again, not necessary. It's strange having a car that has a mind of his own.
* I have been thinking a lot about Alicia this week. She is galavanting in Europe and I hope she is having the time of her life.
* I love my double stroller. Some say they're not necessary, and mine is admittedly enormous, but it is incredibly convenient and smooth and easy to use. And it will hold three... a plus when the third one gets tired! It was one of those decisions I spent way too much time making, but so glad we made the right one.

hmmm...sounds like I need a car like Dutch! How fab. Plus, I don't think you can ever spend too much time picking out the "right" stroller for you. It is one of those things that has to be "right" or you will be forever annoyed.
Hey,I dont think you have a strange relationship with your cars, just think its funny that you name them. Although really ours have names too..."The Red Car" and the "SUV".
Your thoughts are always so fun to read. Isn't it amazing how much we can cherish a few quiet moments, even if it is just 20 minutes? my life is that much better when my house is a bit cleaner than usual, I have kids ASLEEP and I have a bit of make up applied...
I look forward to more info on music...I think a playlist would be great as a reference, something that has worked for you with your kids.
I want to add more music in my life for my kids as well!
My car is named Vivian. She's at the body shop right now getting some "plastic surgery."
And just to satisfy my curiosity, can you share with me your double stroller choice? I'm obsessed about strollers; I think it comes from our Manhattan days, when the stroller was far more important than the car.
Love that your car has a name. Now I know you are normal.
I also want to know what stroller you got. I want a new double so bad, but none seem to be the perfect fit. Large baskets, cup holder for me, light weight, snack trays for kids. Blah blah blah. So lets here what you found. The Combi isn't cuttin it for me anymore!
my stroller is the BOB Revolution, the double version and we have it in orange. We were completely blessed to only have to pay half of the selling price, otherwise, this would not be our stroller!
love all of your lessons learned and observed. cute kids and funny car!
I remember thinking the exact same thing when I was bathing Senny. "Ummm, maybe I should just get in there with her."
Ambers,
Just a question, what double stroller do you have and why do you like it? I am in the market and there are sooo many choices and options. I am looking for rood suggestions. call or email me if you can.
