You know those moms who can tell you the exact day, time and second their child first said a word or took a step or pooped in something other than a diaper? They can do this 50 years AFTER it happened and remember it so vividly that they can tell you how hot it was outside, what day of the week it was and what they had for dinner that night.
I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE MOTHERS.
I cannot remember what happened yesterday. This is why I blog. So I can LOOK IT UP.
So anyway, now that I have this other kid I'm starting to wonder when I should expect stuff, you know, more or less. I spent an hour or so this afternoon while the kido's were sacked out, just about dead because of the heat, and looked it all up. Here's what I got (most include links to delightful little posts about said event -- hint, some of them have multiple links, so click on all the words if you're looking to waste LOTS of time):
