Bethany's Jailbreak
Sorry about the 2.5 month absence everyone. It has been tough with Bethany being in county lock down. But she is out now, so I have some time to sit down and post.
To be quick, we had Christmas, New Year's, and a few Holidays since we last talked. Jude has grown a lot in the past 2 months. We went through a second separation anxiety phase. This one destroyed his sleep pattern for about 2 weeks. We went through a flu season. Everyone got it. (It seems like every blog is about us being sick. I guess that's what no sleep and a day car incubator does to a home.) Right now we are going through a pretty solid tantrum phase. Basically, if he doesn't get exactly what he wants, immediately, then he calls upon the hounds of hell for about ten minutes to help him relay his feelings about the matter.
But all and all, things are as good as it gets. We have a fun little family right now. If you want to scroll back to the beginning of thayerfamilyblog time, I will save you the trouble. He is twenty months old. He is really starting to talk and play. Pretty much he is like a fire. You can't stop watching it. It is amazing, and brilliant, and entertaining. But occasionally something burns down.
Of all that I have to blog about right now... family, holidays, first haircuts, first potty, birthday parties, etc., the event that stands out over the past two months is our first trip to McDonald's Play Place. It was a Wednesday. It was snowing. From your perspective, I imagine it was uneventful. But in my mind, it was a house of terrors. First off, Jude is half of the allowed age of entry. But I boosted him into the tunnel anyway. Then, for roughly eternity, he got lost. And I poured sweat. And tried to drink my lemonade pretending I wasn't nervous. You see, that stupid clown did not build looking holes in this thing, it is about two stories tall, and all you have to do is wait. You here yelling, and kids pummeling each other, and more pummeling. And then you start to think about your toddler being trampled to death in a giant sticky tube full of snot, chicken nuggets, and vomit. Then, out of no where.....Jude flies down the slide and says "anin peas". (That means "again please"). So you do it all over again. And after about 35 minutes, you are one small step closer to being a confident Daddy.
So now for the meat and potatoes. Here are some pictures over the last couple of months. And to Eric and Bree...I hope all is going well. Good luck and stay in touch.

Don't worry, it's almost spring.
