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

    In today’s rocky economic climate, most households are cutting back wherever they can. I too faced the problem and wated to cut down on
    cable tv, I tried P2P, but then not impressed with it. I started collecting ways to watch my favorite tv shows online.
    I have listed then in my blogspot, I try to cover as many tv shows and matches as possible, to help others like
    me to watch their favorite sports or tv shows online for free.

    But my list is not complete, I don’t know where to find some international shows, for sports you have numerous resources, Can someone here help me with that?
    Please tell me you favorite shows that you watch regularly and also some ideas to cover them. If you need to know the shows that I cover, then visit my blogs
