Why?

Why would John wear green rain boots, with little eyes on the top of them, shorts (pj shorts, of course) a pj shirt, the hat from his Halloween Thomas Costume and a Rangers baseball cap on top of that? Because he is 4. Because he can.
So, the Wofford house is moving right along. Chase got home from California last night and survived 4 days with high school kids. I survived 4 days with 2 kids under the age of 4 thanks to the help of my mother. I swear, I would have not survived if I had to be a mother anytime before the late 80s - I think this is when women having careers became socially accpetable. How did moms of more than 2 kids do it while their husbands worked, or gasp! traveled! I would have lost my mind. As my new boss, Blair, says "Hell to the no". Love that saying, btw.
Caroline walked all the way around the coffee table this weekend - 3 times. I think this means she will be ready to toddle very soon. She is still very much a momma's girl and doesn't warm to people very well. You got to work for a smile from her.
John continues to sing, dance and just generally make us laugh. We got him a basketball goal for his birthday and that has become a favorite family pastime. Each night, after dinner, we go outside and Caroline and I sit and watch Chase & John play. They have such a good time. The neighbors come over too, sometimes. James, our neighbor across the street (basically, the best neighbors ever) is a former NFL player and loves to quiz Chase about random players. Little does James know my husband is a sick man and knows way too much. I really think you could put him in a contest and let people ask questions and he would know all the answers. Maybe I should take him down to the circus and charge a quarter....college fund?
