Apparently I've turned into one of those people I complain about. I always felt a bit annoyed when peoples' blogs are all about pictures of their kids or what their kids are doing. Generally I'm friends with the parents and so I want to know how the parents are doing and what they're up to. While I certainly care about the kids and like to know what they're doing, I just kind of am more interested in my friends rather than their kids. Callous, I know. I feel like a terrible person for admitting it, but now I have joined the ranks of people who only blog about their kids and I realize why they do it. Andrew and I don't do anything without O and frankly he's the most interesting thing in our lives right now. We're not learning any new tricks and we certainly aren't as cute or photogenic as O, and so we put his photos and videos forward as proof of our validity and best offering to the world.

The last night Heidi was here, though, she was kind enough to take O for the night and let Andrew and me go to a movie. We chose which movie to see like it was our last chance in a theater, as well it might be for the next year. Star Trek won out and we took our cab ride to the theater without looking back. Thank you Heidi.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I feel the need to clarify. I absolutely do care about my friends' kids and enjoy watching them grow and change and love having a fun relationship with them. I just am so poor at keeping in touch with my friends that I always want to hear more about how they're doing. Basically, I want peoples' blogs to fill in for my laziness at being a good friend. Is that too much to ask?

I know what you mean. I want to hear about the FRIENDS too and not just the friends' KIDS. It's hard to find a balance. I have been a bad blogger, a bad friend, and a bad mother lately...so much to work on.
