So Cy has had a little friend he calls Ah-na since he was about 8 months old. Ah-na’s Mom and I bonded over carrying around our huge 8 month olds, and our babies started walking around the same time. Although we both still carry them a lot. Our kids get along. We do some of the same activities, and our kids could pass as siblings. They have the same color hair. They also both like to eat at Panera.
After music class today, we went to the bouncy house. Then we went to Target. I love the looks we get wondering if the kids are twins, which one of us is the Mom, or because it’s Massachusetts…the “one who carried.” We’re looking for houses and I want to look at one on Ah-na’s street, because seriously, how cute is this?
Cy loves to hold her hand. When she lets him.
And here’s some proof that he’s been trying to hold her hand for YEARS.
October, 2009
I just realized that if they ever grow up and get married, I’ll have EXCELLENT pictures for the slideshow.
In other news, I picked out a preschool for Cy in September and signed him up. I know some people don’t do preschool, but I think we’re both ready. I think he’ll have a blast, and I’ll get a few more hours to get the house clean/do school work, grow a new baby (just throwing that one out there to see how it sounds, I am NOT pregnant). I think at least two of Cy’s other “music school” friends are going to join the same class/day, and I’m blown away thinking that Cy could really grow up in one neighborhood/school district through graduation. It’s totally possible. I think I went to 5 different elementary schools? When I signed up for a Baby and Me class in 2009 I never thought, “Cy could know these kids for life.” But he really could, and coming from a Navy brat, that’s kind of cool.
Good chance Cy and Ah-na would stay friend till middle school when it gets awkward to be boy/girl friends, and then one would have an unrequited crush on the other, and you know how that story goes. Sigh. But still, AWESOME!
Other Cy news:
He has the big boy bed! I’ll have to take some pictures and post them here. We got all the way through songs tonight before he asked to go back in his crib. Gotta tell you, I didn’t see that one coming. I wonder if we’ll just have to put the crib away before he’ll stay in the BBB overnight.
He got some really cute things he’s saying/doing, too.
For example, he sings “Rain, Rain, Go Away” but it’s New England style.
“Rainy Day! Snowy Day! Nother one Nother one Nother one day!”
He also has a new fascination with Saturdays. He told us on Sunday that he’d like to ride a horsie next Saturday. His exact words were, “Ride horsie? This Saturday? NEEIIIGHHHHH!!!!” We said no. He said, “See cows? This Saturday? MOOOOOOOOO!!!!” That we can arrange.
Another new amusing Cyism: Two Dollars. He calls Walmart “Two Dollars.” The current hypothesis is that he saw a price tag on some soap in the bathroom with the Walmart symbol on it, asked “What this?” and my Mom (or someone) said, “It says $2!” Now, whenever he sees Walmart he asks, “Go Two Dollars? Buy car?” But I just switched our pharmacy to Target. So we don’t have occasion to go to Two Dollars much anymore.
So yes. My kid is still cute. He has cute friends. We’re looking for a house. Considering giving our only child a sibling. Living life. Hoping that the currently stability lasts and grows. And blogging less, as you can see.
Sorry about that.
I can just see you 25 years from now: “No, Cy, you can’t marry Lisa, our slideshow pictures would be LAME compared to what I could do if you marry Ah-na.”
Can I just say that it’s HIALRIOUS to me how bundled your little guy always is? I know you live in a crazy cold place so it’s good but it’s just so foreign to me. Julia owns 1 jacket and it’s really just a zip up sweatshirt thing and then she has 1 church sweater. She NEVER needs more than that. :) haha!
