Why blog? I don't even have a facebook account...it feels like it makes life so public. But then--blogging is kind of like a diary, isn't it? It makes me feel a little like Doogie Houser at the end of the day--collecting my thoughts and putting them down. I don't want to blog because I want my life to be public (though I don't mind wearing my heart on my sleeve, most of the time) or because I'm a narcissist, but because these days of our young family are so precious I don't want to lose them to a faulty memory. This time, this stage, these moments truly are 'a time to keep', and blogging is simply the most convenient way to keep them and share them.

I really didn't think I'd ever start a blog...but now that Mac has stopped calling firetrucks "fire knuckles" (he now calls them firetrucks, and I'm so sad!), I realize I'll forget that he ever did that if I don't write it down. So, the blog begins. Welcome.

What else in a cup

Mac sometimes can't find the word for what he's trying to say, so occasionally, he will say to me, "Mac want something." (The something to which he is referring is a mystery I must figure out.)

This morning, he took it to a new level. He wanted a snack, but didn't know (or couldn't remember?) what he wanted. So he followed me into the kitchen and said, "I want 'what else' in a cup."

I wonder what he was expecting to get? So I asked him...Do you want cracker? Cereal? Raisins?

He decided on raisins. What else in a cup.
