Guess what Ladies!?! I just got asked to write a review for an awesome fanfic rec site! I am soooo excited!! Not supposed to say which fic this is for yet but I will say it has been rec’d here on the Lex. This is my first time to write an official rec so for all you fanfic fans out there I’d love to know what you consider crucial info when reading a review? A penny for your thoughts
lulu – Hello! Nice to officially meet :] Wow, you are good counting your babies age down to the day. Maybe I could’ve done that with my first? My baby will be nine months on the 14th of April… So he is 8.5 months-ish. I haven’t seen Napoleon Dynamite in foreva! Really missing it now. I wonder if redbox has it? If not, that means I’ll be watching it on iTunes. Oh well, it’s worth it =)
Fi – Yup, AL is Alabama. I take it you are not from the U.S.? Yummms, Rob on a leather couch, now that is an inspirational thought! I see a career change or maybe just a new fanfic ahead. Think a sexy, young Tony Soprano…. YummmHmmm the wheels are a spinnin’.
Jaclyn – It really is amazing that Missp, Tracy and I all live so close to each other considering the worldwide representation here on this thread!
Caryn – “it is his need to create and to communicate through what he creates that leads him to act and to compose and perform.” Hmmm, interesting thought here. I have an opinion (might even agree with you) just need to mull it over a bit. My knee jerk reaction is if his need to communicate (and on such a large scale) dominate his needs for privacy and even seclusion wouldn’t that make him more extroverted? But I need to think it through.
Amy - My oldest son plays a sport a season. He just wrapped up basketball and is now on to baseball. I am letting him play football for the first time in the fall. He is so stoked. I honestly hope he doesn’t like it but I know he will… He loves to run (and I quote “I just wanna run Momma”) and is super aggressive. He was one of only two kids on his 8U basketball team to foul out of a game. I keep trying to explain that we don’t do this in basketball. *sighs*
I too have certain a group of friends where everyone seems to have mostly girls so I definitely feel for you. My eldest very bright and I am not bragging. Honestly, I try my best to reserve accolades of him but he was an only child up until 8 months ago and is used to communicating with adults on a one on one basis. In fact, he will be tested for the gifted program at school next month. I am SO proud of him. Still, when I meet girls his age at birthday parties and school functions or whatnot, I am like “Whoa” they basically converse like mini adults. I can literally see them imitate my mannerisms and style of speech sometimes. That will never happen with a seven year old boy… or at least none that I’ve met.
So no offense to anyone that doesn’t have a boy but I’ve noticed the moms who only have girls sorta give me this look like deep down they think my child is a heathen. Well, if he is – So are all boys, lol. I am not prepared to argue that they are not ALL indeed heathens I am just saying mine falls well within the norms on the little boy heathen curve. And just because he is literally all over the place doesn’t mean he is wild for his age. I just hold my head high and wish I could tell them to imagine what their husbands were like at 7 or 5 or whatever age but I hold my tongue. And you know what; I wouldn’t trade it for anything. My mind continues to be split wide open while watching his little male psyche develop and I L<3VE it. Sorry to be longwinded but, it’s a bit of personal subject for me…. *shrugs*
Susie - Well, sounds like we have a similar undergrad experience! Good for you changing paths and getting involved with education! That is such an admirable field to be involved in. And yes, my older son interacts so well with the baby, totally beyond what I had hoped for. And so rarely does life exceed my expectations... *contented smile*
Okay, so on to the WitFit prompt o’ the day and my ever faithful blank Word doc. Again sorry this is so long...
TTFN Ladies!
