Dad decided to take the boys to the auto show and T was extremely excited expecting the revelation of the flying car.
As I explained to him that the show would not include a flying car, I was quite disappointed myself. When is someone finally going to invent that?

Diary of a Confused Mom: January 23rd 2015
This morning, I got tired of little Z filling the very stinky diaper pail with clothes and toys. So I sent him on a short mission outside our room and then quickly hid the diaper pail.
He returned with another toy and head straight for where the diaper pail used to be. I silently smirked and heard an evil laugh inside my head. But my victory was short lived because, upon finding the diaper pail gone, and without missing a beat, he went straight to the garbage and threw the toy in there!
In the afternoon, I decided that little Z would shop with me at Whole Foods, using that adorable little shopping cart that says "Customer in Training" on it. In my mind, it was such a fun affair. I only had a couple of things to buy so I could go at his pace and emerge the wonderful, patient mom that does fun, loving things with her toddler.
Well, my fantasy was shattered the moment he got behind the wheels. He sped off in all directions and nearly knocked over a lot of glass items. When we got to the eggs section, I didn't even see it coming. Before I knew it, we were collecting broken eggs off the floor after he'd flung open a carton.
He screamed and whizzed off and "going at his pace" became less about slowing down and showing him things and more about huffing and puffing to keep up and avoid damage.
In the end, he was in fits of tears as I strapped him into the stroller against his will. I guess he's not quite ready to shop with his own cart just yet, and after today's episode, I may never be!

Went to a painting class this evening for some quiet grown up time. Was actually relaxing and the painting turned out alright.

Why are there always shoes in the hamper and clothes in the diaper pail?

In a rush to get to the bathroom, I put my bag sloppily on the counter and I heard it fall off.
Two minutes later, I receive my wallet from under the bathroom door, then my keys appear, then a pen ...

Homework remains the bane of my life. It's making lunchbox duty seem like my new best friend.

Diary of a Confused Mom: January 8th 2015
Little Z's first words:
Uh-oh (his very first word at 11 months)
Diaper (this came before Mummy)
Stop
Go
Ball
Awaw (I love you)
Some of his cute words these days:
Boys! (said in the same tone I use when I call his older brothers)
Hot
Thank you
Duck
Na-a (No in Arabic and he says this very adamantly)
Kissing sounds that he makes - often as with his cute cuddles
He also sings twinkle twinkle little star and signs so many words that communication has become lots of fun! So glad we taught him sign language :)
