Oliver's Word List
A 17-month old Oliver can say:
Wednesday, July 21, 2010
Something I read a little bit ago...and some other stuff.
I became a 'fan' of the Coffee Party Movement on Facebook a while back...and have been pleasantly surprised by the content of the posts. While I fully admit to being a bleeding-heart liberal, I often become a little nauseated by the incessant bitching of my contemporaries. I'm more of a "Freedom and equality for all, peace, love, happiness, etc...but please leave me the hell alone" kinda liberal, I guess. Anyway, a post came up a little bit ago that I really liked.
"Imagine if we had policies and laws that prioritized happiness and well-being over productivity and profit. Consider that the Declaration of Independence mentions the right to the pursuit of happiness, not the pursuit of profit."
So...Imagine that. Imagine 1 year paid maternity (and paternity) leave! Forced vacations. Less talk in the media about The War On....something... and more talk positive things happening to people. Less focus on dollar signs and more and passions. How many people would REALLY be doing what they're currently doing if money weren't a consideration? I know that since having my kid, I've been more inclined to look for and apply to jobs at soulless corporations that pay well but would leave me emotionally crippled. Wouldn't it be nice if the focus was on real, individual people instead of assets and earnings?
In other news, I FINALLY have a job interview! :) I am very VERY excited!!! It isn't at one of those soulless companies, either. It's at the local behavioral health facility... even though I don't believe I'd be doing much direct interaction with clients, at least at the end of the day I'll still feel like I was a part of something worthwhile. The pay is about half of what I'm worth, but right now I'm focusing on what'll be close to home and give me the most possible time with my kid. Childcare will still be a bit complicated, as will transportation...but I'm sure that everything will come together when it's right.
The most difficult thing about potentially rejoining the workforce actually has nothing at all to do with working. I quite like having a job and interacting with people. I'm just not looking forward to spending any amount of time away from my son. It isn't that I don't trust the people who'll be watching him... it's just that I've been here every single day for nearly 16 months...watching every bit of development as it happens... I am going to miss so much. I just have to remind myself that by going to work, I'll be putting him in a position to develop further providing him the means to do so....it just breaks my heart knowing I won't be there for everything anymore :( Where oh where is my winning lottery ticket?!
Back to the first point... if money weren't a consideration, I'd be an artist and a writer...and I'd have a few more kids... and I'd just stay home all day completely indulging my kids. It'd be awesome.
Oliver is a pretty loquacious little thing lately. He's learned to say 'butt'...and does so while smacking people in the butt. It seems that he's trying to form sentences, and come up with the proper names for things. He saw a trash truck the other morning and said 'trash truck car' (tra tru cah).
He's still using food to lubricate his fingers so that he can stick them farther up his nose.
He's also a total little lover. I worried what he'd be like with little babies because...they're little...and he's not exactly gentle with the cat. I found out over the weekend, though. One day we went to visit a little boy who is 8 months old, and Oliver was a big helper baby. He tried to pick the younger boy up and tried to help him walk. His efforts usually ended with both babies falling over, but it was pretty cute. It was also a nice realization that my kid likes littler kids. The next day we went to visit an old friend from high school who recently had a baby girl. Oliver was smitten. I held the 1-month old beautiful baby girl...and Oliver kissed her over and over and over. It was absolutely precious.
Anyway.... this is taking a very long time... and I'd rather be watching Oliver eat a plout.

Oreos, kid-missing, and such...
So, it's another one of those awful nights I have to go without my little man. I'm not sure how I've survived emotionally through the few nights we've been apart... I honestly don't understand how parents actually WANT to be away from their children. I'm dreading the day I have to go back to work. Being away from him for a few hours a week is far too much :( I've been trying to think of crazy get-rich-quick schemes since before he was born...sadly, I've come up with nothing that'd actually work. There's always writing...which I imagine I'll figure out at some point and start doing and hopefully getting paid and all that good stuff...but it'd be insane for me to assume that I'll make a good living at that right away. If only I were a much funnier person...
All I'm sure of at this point is that a venti latte followed by a Red Bull is no way to start the day... I'm getting to that point where I'm sure I'll be crashing any time.
Also... I have some issues with this season's Big Love. The dead prophet's crazy son is gay?? Really?! WTF? How does that work? I mean... does he get to have numerous husbands??? When it really comes down to it, the least crazy thing on this show is the multiple wives now. Everyone's gone totally nuts. I miss the old theme song and intro, too. The new one is a downer.
I'm watching some PBS thing right now... Emma. I think I may have missed something because I have no idea what's going on right now. It took me half of the last episode just to figure out which one was Emma and tell her apart from the others consistently. The only character I still recognize is the guy who was in Hackers... and I know he's the one who'll eventually marry Emma. I guess I'll figure out who she is again when that happens. They really should do a better job of making the characters look different.
Then again... I'm awful at identifying people. Seriously. It's all about context for me. Some people belong in certain places, and if I see them in other places I have no idea who they are. It's awful, really. It probably makes people think I'm really rude or antisocial... and though both are often true, they aren't true to the extent that I'm sure they seem. I tend to remember people when they're at work. It's horrible when people get new jobs, too. I really wish everyone would just wear name tags...and possibly short bios...
I think I'm going to stop this now... updating is definitely something I need to do more often... but I am tired of typing.

A First for the Books...
Oliver took a step today. We'd gone to visit grandma's classroom (grandma is a high school teacher) and she stepped out for a few minutes. Oliver and I were hanging out by some book shelves...and he did it. A completely, totally, unsupported, un-helped-along step. I was immediately overcome by two emotions - pride... and fear. My little one is not yet 10 months old, though I knew this day was coming. A 28 1/4 inch tall human looks absolutely silly walking around. Luckily it was just that one step and all the rest of his walking takes place along side a piece of furniture or a wall or with both of his little hands in my hands.
It's really not like I've had the ability to sit for more than a few minutes at a time since he started crawling, but now I feel the freedom of sitting will be even more a luxury of the past. I remember when he was born everyone was telling me to sleep when he sleeps... and now I wonder what the good in that would be. If I napped with him every time he napped (which I would LOVE), when would I get stuff done?? I think moms aren't meant to rest.

Post-xmas ramble
Do you ever feel like, maybe...just maybe... you've had 5 or 6 too many lattes? That's about where I am on a daily basis lately...and then around 9 I just crash. Not really sure what the deal is with me. It's not like I'm ever drinking more than one latte in a day.
Xmas was an interesting experience around here. If it weren't for the inevitable crash/burn/die/reformat of the laptop, I'd have some ranting and raving to do about numerous presents...in picture form. :| Sadly, the death of the laptop took with it the photos of my kid loving up his xmas day. I'll give a brief explanation of the bests and worsts...with pics stolen from the internet. Someday I'll have all my software reinstalled on the beast and I'll be able to get the pics of MY kid loving and hating things up here... :)
The most annoying present ever was his evil little Cozy Coupe car by Little Tikes. That beast took me almost 2 hours to assemble. I'm fairly mechanically inclined...typically more than capable of assembling just about any piece of
furniture from a box...even with unintelligible Engrish instructions. This thing was just awful though. My kid sat and laughed at me as I fought with it. Literally. I had to put ALL of my weight on it to get the top pieces in correctly. Also, when putting the back yellow pieces on, the logos were upside down. There was only one way to put the pieces...and yet, the logos were wrong. There are also exposed screws. The door latch isn't exactly secure. The eyes were broken. There isn't a seatbelt... so I know that if I took the bottom out of the car, my kid would slide right out onto the ground. Fun, right? So... I'm not at all a fan of this car. The only thing that keeps me from dousing it in gasoline and dancing around it after lighting it on fire is the fact that my kid really loves it. He babbles at it. He got in and grabbed the wheel - as if he knew exactly what he was doing. It was unbelievably cute.
The next toy I have an issue with is also a Little Tykes toy... the blue convertible swing with yellow ropes. The ropes are WAY too short. A friend and I sawed through a couple chains to add a couple feet to the top in order to make this long enough. The ropes have these metal hooks on the end, making the contraption a one-piece deal.
It's supposed to be a convertible...meaning that it goes from infant to toddler swing - the bar and straps fold under... the problem with that, though, is the rope length. My kid would be dangling more than 4.5ft off the ground had we not hooked it on to chains. Also, the way that the bar and straps are configured, my son's stuck slouching. It pins him down awkwardly and it's difficult to get him into a better position. The last issue I have with it is the straps - they're not quick to get undone. It took me a couple minutes to figure them out and then another minute of awkwardly sticking my fingers into the little holes to hold down a little piece to unlatch them. I suppose that it would be particularly difficult for my kid to get out himself...but still... I'd like a more user-friendly swing. Again, this toy is not a melted pile of goo solely because my kid loves it. He loves it so much that he squeals with joy when he sees it and screams when I take him out of it.
Think that's bad? Nah... the ultimate xmas fail was the Fisher Price Go Baby Go Bat and Wobble Penguin. It was so cute! I was really upset that it only stayed in my house for 20 mins... I had very high expectations for it. Since the boy so loves to hit things, I figured he'd make quick friends with the penguin. He never actually
saw the penguin. I got it, inflated it, and the tab refused to stay put in it so it deflated almost instantly. Not THAT bad... but then my mouth started burning. I'd noticed that the penguin smelled a little like chemicals, but figured it wasn't a really big deal. There was a fabric over most of the toy... and I think it was soaked in some kind of industrial poison. The burning in my mouth got worse and I ended up with a rash all around my lips. Have you ever tasted the inside of a glow stick? It was just like that. My mouth hardly came in contact with that fabric. The rash went away pretty quickly, but I wasn't going to risk that with my kid, y'know? Ugh. Such a big disappointment. :( I'm going to hunt down one of those entirely plastic boppy clown toys from the 80s with the bean bag bottom. Those have never given me a rash.
The xmas wins were:
Fisher Price Poppity Pop Train - this little gem held up xmas for quite a while... he refused to open new presents and screamed if it was taken away. He still likes it, though there's less desperation.
Vtech Baby's Learning Laptop - now that he has his own, he only occasionally bangs on mine.
Vtech Dial and Discover Phone - he's really happy about this toy... it hasn't stopped him from going after every other phone, though.
Baby Genius All-in-One Musical Band - LOVE this! I had to take out the toy with sharp parts, but otherwise it's awesome.
Playskool Explore 'n Grow Step Start Walk 'n Ride - he hasn't figured out how to use it, but he loves to sit by it and poke around at it.
And do you know what the absolute biggest win of the season has been?? A stuffed cat that I got for $3 at a museum sale. It was probably made by a little old lady. It had button eyes that I had to cut off... and Oliver looked for them for a while... but he loves that cat. It's the only thing he's ever drug around with him.
Anyway... I should be trying to get this computer back to what it should be :) And what that means is I'm gonna take my baby and go curl up with him in bed...

Introductions all around!
Hello :) I'm Awyn. I'm a 28-year-old single mom to a handsome (crawling, climbing, screeching, bouncing, pounding...) 8-month-old little boy named Oliver. I'm a grad student working on a master's in library science with hopes of someday being a children's librarian. From what I can tell, the rumors about children's librarians are true: we're an odd bunch. I live a pretty conservative life, but I'm really VERY liberal. I like all art forms, with the exception of poetry, and work (for the moment) in wire.
Blogging is a good way to get all the excess out of my head.
So, what can you expect to see here? I like lists, so here's a list -
1. Mommy ramblings - attachment parenting, things I've done that have worked or have failed miserably, you know the drill. Oliver has his own blog, and I'm not sure how much overlap there'll be.
2. Product reviews for all things baby - this kid has everything, and I have opinions about all of his things.
3. Product reviews for whatever I've tried... if I ever get myself anything!
4. Reviews of everything I come in contact with - restaurants, books, magazines, movies, websites... etc.
5. Men. What single, straight woman isn't thinking about (and complaining about) men? If I ever have any adventures in dating, you'll get to read about them.
6. Offensive topics... religion, politics, discipline, parenting styles...etc. Unless you have a good sense of humor, I'll probably offend you. And I don't care.
7. Alternatives to every-day products...or different uses for every-day products... cleaning & medicine, mostly.
8. Geek things... software, kid and grown-up gadgets... though this won't be terribly extensive.
9. Other things. That's about as specific as can be...
Soooo that's what you can expect. If I ever figure out how to be one of those coupon moms like the ones on Oprah, you'll be reading about that, too.
