Gee I really hope he is not in a bingo hall playing bingo at 22 years of age. HOPEFULLY He’ll be in university and out having some fun.
Sounds like you have a card there Dani.

Great post. I’m going through something similar with Baby Girl as she seems to have picked up all of my charms (including my hatred of loud noise and my penchant for peppering everyday speech with the f-word). Yikes!

I just laughed out loud about the dog lips ‘No Way!’. Hey, he’s passionate; that’s what he is. He knows when he must do something!

The dance we have to do to get all four kids to sleep by 9pm took a while to learn. They all have their little rituals and quirks. Kiss me this many times, where’s my water in the cup with my name on it, turn off this light, but not that one. I’m ready for bed when it’s all done!

We’re just getting into this too. I laughed out loud reading it because I heard Erich’s voice in the “NO WAY” though his favourite saying is, “I NO WANT THAT!!!”. For us, it’s the obsession with orange. There’s crying and yelling whenever I remove anything orange from his person. I hear that they get over it so don’t get too used to the 300 lb bingo daubing version of your son in the future. Until then, watch your fingers when approaching him…

I love walking bags of quirks – like me.

“He’s also exhibiting vaguely alarming tendencies …to depend on rituals.”
You really need to curb this right now… Immediate action; psychiatrist stuff. Because if you don’t the next thing you know he will be separating his ShepherdÂs pie into 3 piles, the corn goes here, the mashed potatoes there, the beef over here…
Hey look and apple, on the ground, right under this apple tree…
Go figure.

How adorable!
I never cease to be amazed by how much toddlers are their own little people already. Somewhere in my head I had it that this stuff wouldn’t present itself until kindergarten and that they’d remain generic little bundles of pudding until that time. Boy was I wrong!
