Budding Genius Babies

My baby is 10 months old today. Time flies! I can't believe it. And you know what I cannot believe even more...he STILL does not sleep through the fricken night. Is it possible??? Ugh. Other than that and the whole getting up at 5am thing, he's a perfect little man. Today he actually played for an extended period of time with a toy, and he wasn't trying to suck the life out of it either. He had a car, a rather large car and went around the house in circles at least 4 times, from the kitchen around the dining room, living room, front hallway, back to kitchen. 4 rounds. Stopping to smile and laugh at me making dinner and Matthew watching The Lion King for the 12th time in the living room.

Sara, no worries honey, I'm sure it's a phase of sorts, or he's a bit on the quiet side, just his personality, that's fine, maybe he's a budding genius? It's most likely the stress of changing rooms and all that, it affects them so much more than we realize. I'll tell you, the past 2 times I've gone to get Matthew at pre-school, it's been nice out and so they are outside in the playground at pick-up time. Matthew is always by himself, playing with one of those bead thingys, ya know, move the beads and things around the wooden block type thing. The other kids are running around like maniacs or on the slide and swings. And he is sitting there alone. He told me he went on the slide, but who knows. He is still so shy with other kids and won't play with them. I'm hoping pre-school will help and he will eventually start playing with these kids, but I don't know. There were trucks there that he is obcessed with and he wasn't even playing with them, but this bead thing. WTF?

Well, it's bedtime, I've done as much work as I can do and cannot keep my eyes open anymore. And yes, Dorothy the fish is still alive in her new bowl. She freaks everytime we walk by though, not getting why she's doing that. Fricken Fish. But it's the only pet I can deal with.
