One week since you looked at me…

Argh, it’s been like a month between updates here. I am the worst blogger ever. Seriously.

I have some video and photos to upload but don’t feel like mucking about with it right now.

We bought a Step 2 brand plastic slide at Unique Thrift Store for Niko. It only cost $5.99 and half an hour of scrubbing spider sacks off of it. Niko is nuts for it. He tried climbing up the slide first, then he found the steps and started climbing up them the way he does stairs– using his knees for leverage. He figured out how to climb them like a ladder (ie, using his feet and not his knees) in no time. His first few dozen trips down the slide were hilarious because he’d go zooming down, land on his bottom, wallow around a bit laughing, then scamper over to do it all again. I almost fell over myself laughing so hard. Yes, I laugh when my child falls over. I am terrible. We have some video of this, most of it soundless because my camera is fairly awful.

In other Niko News, he would like you all to know that the cabinet doors and drawers in the kitchen no longer open easily. It’s like there’s some kind of force or something preventing him from opening them and rifling through the contents. Nesko and I don’t seem terribly concerned about this– we are fools, after all– and he’s hoping perhaps one of you could rectify the situation so he can get back to strewing mixing bowls, my 50 year old wire pastry blender, the timer, and our spoons all over the floor again. I mean, that’s where they all belong, right?

I was lying down with him tonight– why yes! He does still only fall asleep if he’s 1) in his car seat or 2) in someone’s arms!– and after a long period of silence he suddenly got chatty. “Shh. Shh.” I said to him. He repeated everything he’d just said in a whisper.
