I turned into the Hulk last week

I've been watching "Sister Wives", the reality series about a polygamist lifestyle (Think "Big Love" ...but real) Anyways, the patriarch of the family "Kody" is courting his 4th wife. He has said the word courting at least 15 times in the episode I'm watching. I am appalled and grossly intrigued by this series. I can not comprehend the lifestyle.

So enough about this ridic show. Everyone is getting their own reality show. We could have

This past week - the worst thing imaginable (for a mother) happened to me. I locked myself out of the house while Max was inside - thankfully, asleep. We have had some crazy weather recently here in Brooklyn and we had lots of leaves and branches in our garden. After Max went down for his nap, I rolled up my sleeves and jumped into cleaning up the back. I brought out the baby monitor so I could hear when Max woke up. I shut the door behind me as I didn't any bugs to get inside. Little did I know that the door would have locked behind me. I didn't realize that I had been locked out until I tried to dgo back in and get another trashbag. I grab the door handle and jiggle it. I frantically try to open the door. No luck. Sheer Panic sets in. I dont have a phone. No door Keys. And there is no easy way to get into or out of our back yard. Thankfully - the window in our living room was cracked open. It had a screen on it, which I ripped off while panicking. Picture me turning into the Hulk and taking the screen off. I jumped thru the window and I breathed. I was inside and Max was still asleep - unaware of the whole thing. Life is good.

MM out. Be back soon...

So Max is still on track to be the biggest kid in his class. He's nearly 21 lbs already.

Above you see my mad Photoshop skillz - we are the Three Amigos!

Max has been having a rough time sleeping the past week - which has been rough on Danny and I. Now we are trying to determine if we need to start "Sleep Training" him. We will see how he does this weekend - Hopefully it was a stage that he was going thru (Growth spurt? Getting an immunization? Getting a touch of a cold? who knows...) Fingers crossed.

We signed up to the Prospect Park YMCA this week. I have been taking Max to a music class there which he seems to really like. I have meet some cool moms there too. I hope that the Y membership will prove useful when its freezing cold outside - as we can go across the street and play indoors

Max is up from his nap. MM out x
