Surprises

I guess there are lots of surprises in raising children. In fact, I'm surprised at how raising Dane Thomas can sometimes feel like raising children! But it's all worth it in the daily surprises. Lately I've been finding signs of Dane's having been there all over the place. Like... the kitchen colander in the toy box. Or the finger puppet in the drawer under the oven. Medicine in the toilet. The sippy cup in the laundry basket. Anything and everything he can get his hands on in the trash. It's frustrating and precious at the same time. And though I am sure we will lose many things by the time Dane has outgrown this stage, I'm enjoying my little mister mischievous right now.

As a side note, our camera broke. Bit the dust. It is d-o-n-e. So don't be surprised to not see lots of pictures for the next while.
