There's a lot of work involved in raising a child (See: "Parenting is Not for Cowards"). Anyone who tells you their little munchkin is all rays of fun and sunshine is lying through their teeth, crazy, or oblivious. It's exhausting to love and take care of a wee one.
It's definitely been more fun lately, though. Shane communicates immeasurably better. He's more independent, and he's learning new things all the time.You can see him trying to reason through things. The boy learned to lie to get his way a month ago. I'm not sure if I should be sad he's lying or proud that he can reason enough to do it. (Shane just ran up to me and asked to get on the computer. I said "No." Shane thought a second and then said "Mommy turn!" "Mommy turn on what?" "Mommy turn on the computer!" The boy is smart! He knows an easy mark!)
It makes things more fun. Shane's becoming his own little person.
Awww. Shane just made up a "Happy Father's Day" song. Carrie asked him to say "Happy Father's Day" and I got a revised "Happy Birthday." That deserves a garbage truck video on YouTube.
This a proud Dad, signing off.
