San Rafael, CA

Yesterday we drove to San Rafael to visit Meg. Meg took us to this AMAZING Puerto Rican restaurant. The food was sooooo good. Afterwards we went to a local plaza and Rocco ran around and played in the fountain. He was so well behaved in the restaurant that I wanted to let him run around an burn off some steam before we got back in the car. Overall he's been so GOOD. He's been so loving and well behaved. Part of it is that he's sleeping better, I'm sleeping better and I am making sure he gets enough time outside to burn off steam. I notice that if I keep him in the house for too long, he goes bat shit crazy and starts driving me insane. So we spend a lot of time outside so he can climb things and jump around. This new plan seems to be working.
In a nutshell, it's about keeping baby boy busy!

i haven't killed my vegetables

i'm so proud of myself! i haven't killed any of my veggies. They are all growing and doing well. I check on them daily and really really enjoy seeing new flowers, buds, and tiny veggies become bigger by the day. I got so excited when I saw my beets take root. Well that day the soil made room for the green lake beans and I just hung in the garden with Rocco watching all the leaves and flowers. Gardening is very satisfying. Never knew I had it in me........

Mid may

I can't believe we are in mid may. I wish things would slow down a bit - it seems the days just blur into each other and before i know it the month has ended and a new one has started. I can't believe 2011 is only 7 months away. WTF??????????????????????????

outside

His new word is "outside, outside, outside, outside..."
Literally. he says "outside" at least 25 times a day. He loves to be outside climbing, falling, picking and throwing. He's such a boy.

Still loving his bedroom

my urban garden

So this year I planted lots and lots of veggies.
This year I planted eggplant, bell peppers, beans, cilantro, green onion, broccoli, beets, and of course tomato, tomato and more tomato! You can never have too many as far as I'm concerned.
