Grandparents

My parents are out visiting and Monster is putting on a pretty good show for them so far. My mother has noticed (BLESS her) how much more difficult M is getting as he gets older. But they both find him amazingly sweet and lovable (which of course he is). They also both think he is brilliant.

My dad used to piss me of by making comments like, "Oh, you don't REALLY still need to wear diapers at night, now, do you?" and I would give him the evil eye and say, "Monster is allowed to wear pull ups as long as he chooses." This time, though, nothing yet. They seem to have done their homework and aren't saying rude or stupid things at all. They're both just mesmerized by him. Monster does have quite the little personality. He's just such a unique guy.

So. So far, so good. Mom came to swimming lessons tonight and went on and on about how well Monster did and I told her how long it had taken M to get this far (putting his face in the water - jumping into the pool holding the instructor's hands, blowing bubbles and kicking). She thinks he's doing wonderfully.

Not used to the parents being so positive and supportive. But they seem to understand Monster. We'll see how the rest of the week goes.
