Give a boy a dog and you've furnished him a playmate.
The dog was created specially for children. He is the god of frolic.
A dog teaches a boy fidelity, perseverance, and to turn around three times before lying down.

Yes, please.
Cupcakes and uninterrupted bubble baths are two individual, wonderful elements of the many that bind together to form who I am - tonight I put them together. Oh yes.

A list
So I'm in a very cynical mood today (what's new?) and need to get some things out before I blow up. I'm not going to put it all on Facebook since I'm not that lame. I think it'll go fine on here because isn't that what a personal blog is for? Yup.
This list was compiled today as I was sitting on a bench at the park while Layton was playing.
1.) People who bring infants to a park. Why? Why do you do this? I understand if you have an older child who can actually play on the equipment, but an infant can't. You're meaning to tell me that you drive all the way to the park to hold you child and/or to have nervous fit after nervous fit if the little darling crawls out of within a 2 inch radius from you?
2.) The women who have to bring their camera to the park and drive everyone else there absolutely insane. I get wanting to take pictures, really, I do, but put the damn thing down so your kid can actually play without you in their face telling them to "look over here", "HOLD STILL SO I CAN TAKE YOUR PICTURE", "look at me", "go over on that swing/slide/whatever and do this (insert pose) and SMILE". While we were there today some woman fitting that description showed up with a few kids and would NOT SHUT UP. Myself and another mother there would move our things to a different are any time she came near us. Her kids were whining because they wanted to play and she was busy barking out orders. Chill out!
3.) The people who bring all ten of their kids to the park. You know, if you have ten kids then that's your business, but teach them some manners. It is rude and dangerous to other (smaller) children for your pack of wild savages to be running around with complete and total disregard to others. I can't even count the times I've seen small children ran over, pushed, or knocked off of equipment because of some lunatic kid who's mother is oblivious or too busy trying to wrangle the rest of her 'pack'. Keep them in check, that's all I'm saying.
4.) The ones who think everything is a deathtrap. STOP IT. You know who you are. I'm not even going to go there. Just stop it.
5.) I can not stand when kids run around the playground dirt/sand with socks on. It just BOTHERS THE CRAP OUT OF ME!
That is all.
For now.

Coolness
Is any other kid this cool?
I think not.
(5 seconds later he threw that remote at me and demanded that I not take anymore pictures)
Such sweetness.
