I’m in for it.

I have heard of the term “spirited child”, but in all honesty I always thought it was a nice way of telling someone that their kid was an evil terror.  Now I am beginning to realize that there really is such a thing as a spirited child, and I believe that I have one of my very own.

Cyler has always been active.  From the time he was still in utero.  I remember during an ultrasound the technician was having a difficult time getting a good shot because he was moving around too much or blocking with his hands.  I remember nights when I would toss and turn because the little guy was doing back flips in my belly.  Once he was born, it continued.  He was always extremely alert.  Always staring intensely at whatever he was studying in that moment.  As he became more mobile, his energy levels were through the roof.  The kid never stopped moving.  And still doesn’t.  He loves to jump and can sit and bounce in his jumperoo for more than an hour straight.  If he’s on your lap, you had better hang on tight.  Diaper changes have become nearly impossible as he twists and rolls in acrobatic poses as I beg him to “hold still for 2 seconds”.  I find myself constantly having to distract him with a new toy or activity.  He will not sit contently with one object for more than a minute, before he’s onto the next.

He is intensely aware of all of his surroundings.  When we are somewhere new, his head is on a swivel taking in every little detail.    He cranes his neck to see the person around the corner, or practically jumps out of my arms to get a better view of something colorful or flashy.  But while this intensity and energy has left me exhausted and at times a little frustrated, I can’t help but giggle to myself on occasion at his blossoming personality.  I have a feeling that there are many silly moments ahead.  I smile to myself to think of the cute little Cyler-isms yet to be.  I know he’s going to be an entertaining little guy.  I look forward to those moments, but in the back of my head I just know, I’m in for it!

    Hello,

    I’m spending my time here for the children of Haiti.

    I’m at this site for a non-profit haiti organization that devotes themselves to
    creating oppurtunities for the children in haiti. If anyone wants to donate then this is the site:

    Donate to Haiti or Help Haiti

    They give children in Haiti a positive outlook through education.

    Please check it out, they’re legitimate.

    It would be awesome if you could help us

    Hi guys,

    I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on momswithbrains.com using them?

    The French gourmet cheese Bleu d’Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d’Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow’s milk in place of sheep’s milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d’Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

    Hi there,

    Thought I’d share something interesting I got hold of recently. If you’re sick and tired of running around totally broke while other players get barns and greenhouses and the most expensive villa, this information is for you.
    You’ve probably always wondered why you can’t seem to make as much money or level up as fast as the other players in the game.

    This isn’t cheating, the guide just reveals something only a few people know off.

    hi there handy little web-site ya have right here :-) I employ the identical web theme on my own blog yet somehow for what ever issue it would seem to load easier on this web site eventhough your own has got a little more content. Have you been getting different plug ins or widgets which quicken it up? If you could possibly show the titles so I can use them in my websites so twilight breaking dawn fans could watch twilight breaking dawn online trailers and videos a lot quicker I’d personally be happy – kudos ahead of time :)
