Things You Can’t Do When You’re Not a Toddler

Chris is so unbelievably cute right now. He’s just so…
Chris is so unbelievably cute right now. He’s just so round and snuggly. My sister told me she watched this video over and over (as I did) and just wanted to tackle him, he was so cute here. He’s getting into the boy hijinks early, though, thanks to having a big brother. He now likes to throw his food from his high chair and kick his shoes while he’s up there. But his giggle still gets me. It makes me kind of sad that his babyhood is nearly over.
Lovable losers no more
Borrowed from the Caltech Celebration Win gallery
Were they ever known as lovable losers? I don’t know. What I do know is that I love the story of Caltech’s men’s basketball team finally putting their 26-year losing streak to bed. I remember finding a press release about this back in, I think, November and writing a story about it….which got overwritten. Sigh. They had had a chance at ending their losing streak then, but lost the game. This time, they finally did it, and with the media fanfare, you’d think they won a championship! LOL, I love it.
But what everyone seems to forget is that Caltech men’s basketball inspired a storyline on one of my favorite — albeit now-canceled — TV shows.
What a year
Even my usual motto of “each new year is better than the last” is woefully inadequate to describe 2010. But I suppose it could have been foretold this was going to be a helluva year by the way it started — with the last-minute C-section birth of Michael. Isn’t it amazing how so much can change in one year? This exact time last year, I was getting ready to go to the hospital for another non-stress test and anticipating the results from that fateful 24-hour urine test. This year, I’m getting ready to take my wiggly, active, very-close-to-walking Michael grocery shopping for his birthday party tomorrow.
Hallelujah!
A video like this one renews my faith in people and in the Christmas season. A friend posted it, with the comment, “It made me smile.” Not only did I smile, I wept a little bit with joy. I wish I could’ve been at this food court when this happened.
Enjoy!
