In Summation

I thought about summarizing all of the things I have been up to lately as a triumphant return to the blog, but then I figured this post would be way too short if I did that. So basically, I will just say- I've been spending a lot of time with this guy:

The Tyke is growing up fast, and it rocks! And for every day older he becomes, it means I am one day farther away from the awful, mind-numbing baby days, so really...good news all around. But I am still amazed at how my role as The Tyke's mom keeps on changing. I've morphed from the baby grower/feeder/carrier into the toddler entertainer/playmate/owie-kisser-better...who can do a wicked Elmo impression, I might add. My previous unwillingness to accept that I am officially a wife and mother has finally gone away thanks to some serious anti-depressants a helpful and loving husband and a little bit of perspective. The fact that The Tyke is my best buddy instead of a little shit doesn't hurt, either.  Because as we all know, I won't take crap from anyone.
