The Broom
Just call me the lurker. I've been spending the last month enjoying myself by cruising the blog "strip". Along with my usual reads (of which, I'm a self-described "groupie"), I've discovered quite a few interesting blogs. I think it's pretty interesting when you consider the whole "six-degrees-of-separation" in the blogosphere. Did you know you can go from a parent talking about his child in one blog (me), to a very graphic (including pictures) blog in 6 links or less? Las Vegas may truly be the best location for "Bloggercon." Where else could you mimic such "degrees of separation" than going from Circus Circus to the Bunny Ranch?
As I continue to receive comments and e-mails from readers, I know I need to get this post "a movin'" with what you actually come her for, Dane. This young boy has continued to astound me. Need an example? I just happen to have one right here:
Dane is at the age where he watches Mommy and Daddy, and mimics their behavior (this has been very scary to say the least). Lately, he wants to use a small hand broom to sweep the floor like Mommy. He walks into the spare bathroom and points at the broom. We give it to him and he sweeps the floor (finally what I've been waiting for... someone to get the chores done around here). Last week, he points to the where the broom should be and it isn't there. So both of us walk around looking for it (Really! He squats down and looks under the sofa or his bed). I didn't see it anywhere (yes, I was "man" looking), so we go back into the kitchen. Dane says something like, "bobla de tha gu." I tell him I don't know where the broom is. He says the same thing to me. It's obvious what he is saying has real meaning to him. He walks out of the kitchen and Renee says, "wouldn't it be funny if he walked in with the broom?" We both laughed. We hear Dane coming back into the kitchen. We both look and do you know what he had in his hand? Yes... the broom! Now when something goes missing, I just ask him to find it.
I'm so proud of our son! I'm so proud to be in this family!
