It ain't easy being Levi

Munchie's having a tough time the last few days.....He's cutting four molars at the same time AND he acquired a cold. To top it off, yesterday he pulled the crockpot (empty) off the countertop and it hit him smack in the forehead.

Result= Goose egg on his forehead and a bloody nose.

Then last night he crawls up in my chair and dives out head first, but at least he landed on carpet. Let's see....he climbed up on the trunk and got stuck behind the futon....there's more I just can't remember.....

I made it til 6 or so before I got stitches. I'm willing to bet he doesn't make it that long, hehe.

Just some random pictures....the first few are of a fun collander-wearing night. Entertainment is where you find it! The next few are of Levi's first cane syrup experiment....it was a resounding success! No youngun of mine is gonna eat that fake maple-corn syrup stuff. Hooray sugar cane!

iris cultivar "Paprika Fono's" very tall - near the front porch

he walks down the dirt road beside our house every time he's out - to see if the mule & pony are there

our dogwood is in bloom

Today I am feeling frazzled - we're going thru childcare providers like wildfire - #3 started today (the third in as many months) - I really like her, but it's just the readjustment of trying to get in a daily routine with someone new - I've been thinking about out-of-home daycare again - maybe it would be a better solution? - we looked around at the first of the year & I did find one close to the house that would work - aftering having Levi in-home for so long it's a tough decision to make - however, I'm starting to feel very burnt out - wanting some real time to work away from him

this year there's 42 flower stalks on the irises in the front bed! pretty against the blooming rosemary

tiny purple rosemary blooms

pretty as you peas

building blocks

I went to Locally Grown Thursday afternoon (where spring is becoming evident = 170 orders) and Joe and Levi had their 'man time' - they headed to the Oconee River for a little fishin' with Max...

Max & Levi

the first trellis (of many) peas are up - staggering plantings about once a week - getting some real help in the garden...

new teeth

Levi's cutting his first molar - unlike his other teething experiences, where thankfully the only side effect was massive amounts of drool - this time the ONE most definite side effect is compulsive breastfeeding! - Dr. Sears says it's: "accelerated nursing for comfort"
