Big Boy Blues

Rooney is becoming such a big boy. He is talking now. Not with words so much, but with his hands. All of a sudden his signing has taken off and it is absolutely amazing to me that all needs can be fulfilled with 4 or 5 simple signs. When you think about it what else does anyone really need to know other than: 1. Help 2. Eat 3. More 4. Milk and 5. All done. When you go to the bathroom in your pants & fall asleep where & when ever you want, there really isn't much more to say. Just in case, he can also tell you Yes or No with a simple head nod.

Not only is he talking, but as you can see, he is exploring the world with his own little laptop (he's surfing the web with Mom. He's he one on the left.)

Being a big boy is alot of work. You start getting all these new responsibilities dumped on you. Besides all the yakking, you are expected to start feeding yourself, sit still occasionally, carry your own books, and the worst of all...walk all by yourself! Thank goodness for Rooney he tackled that whole walking issue and got a car.

Conveniently it has a parent push-bar on the back. That's for when he's too tired to Fred Flintstone it.

After all those responsibilities, sometimes you just need to kick back and take a little time for yourself.

Ahhhhhhhhh!
