wow, what a month

I know it has been forever since I posted. Its been quite a month. I will do my best to sum up over the next couple of days so that it is all down for posterity or whatever.

First thing: Mitch and I got IPhone's....part of the reason I have been a bad blogger. I have hardly touched my poor laptop since I got the phone. It has started wearing sexy lingerie to try and catch my eye, but unfortunately the petite little thing that fits in my pocket has been my technological mistress. I still love the laptop, but I also love my IPhone. Is it okay to be polyamourous when it comes to your computer devices? I have promised to pay more attention to the laptop, it is better for certain things over the IPhone. Such as writing long emails and updating my blogs.

Miles turned 3 on October 28th. He is so amazing. Everyday he comes up with new things to say that surprise, delight and shock me. The least favorite is his imitation of Mitch's "god dammit" he will say it over and over usually at very appropriate times. This morning he mad eme laugh with his response to my question, "would you like to say good morning to your Aunt Mel?" (we were talking on the phone) He answered, "no, I want to TALK to her" Children are so literal. Its fun and a challenge to find the right way to ask a question or explain something to him so that we actually understand each other.

His allergy to the cat seems to be getting worse. It forces me to think about giving her to a good home where she would be loved and not causing suffering in the allergic. We have been able to keep Miles' room mostly cat free. She is not allowed to get on the bed in there. But she sleeps on the couch and on our bed and he really enjoys pettign her occasionally. Other occasions he wants to be a three year old boy and throw things at her.

He loves to read books and sing songs. He likes to paint, color and do crafts. He also wants to be a ninja turtle. He declared the other day that Santa Claus was brining him a ninja turtle for christmas. Guess I have to find one now.

On a closing note for today. I was at Target today, a store which I find great joy in just wandering. I was exploring the toy section to see what Miles might like and I saw something there that made me realize that I am officially old. There was a 25th anniversary special edition of a cabbage patch doll. 25 years! I remember the christmas that all I wanted was a cabbage patch doll. I remember it so well. Can it really be 25 years ago? How can that be? I am old, old old.....
