Little Things to Enjoy & Learn... Fall Version

A few things I've learned this past week:

1.  If you have a nine-month-old baby boy who "thinks" he can walk - he WILL earn a few massive goose eggs.  This one in particular had me sweating.  Thanks to the nurse's hotline for their assurance and thanks to our trusty Ace bandages for holding on some frozen peas and rice to Boone's noggin'.
2.  I'm raising a bunch of weirdos.  This week's "Friday Fun Night" movie was the "WOE-man" Ghostbusters per their request.  They lasted all of ten minutes before they asked us to turn it off because it was getting "too creepy".  Shortest (most fashion forward) movie night ever.
3.  Child Proofing is real.  And REALLY important.  I forgot.  I'm out of practice.  But take a look at our new hardware.  Bwahaha Little Booner!
4.  Falling out of love with fall is impossible.  Piles of leaves are our love language.  Crisp temps are awesome.  Fall sports are fantastic.  Buy a few mini rakes if you have kids -- HOURS of entertainment right there in between rounds of semi-tackle football.

5.  Buy a west facing house.  Put a nursery in one of the front bedrooms.  Watch your baby nap as the sun fills his room.  Feel your troubles melt away and your blood pressure lower.  Watch the wind blow through the leaves of the trees through the various seasons right out that glass.
There is nothing I have loved more than this with all my baby boys.
6.  Enjoy sweater weather.  
Enjoy sweater weather with flowers.
Enjoy sweater weather and flowers and the cutest boys in the hood.
Fine then.  Twist my arm.  :)
