I've made an amazingly redundant observation about Blueberry Crumb Cake! (available at our local Golden Farmer's Market every Saturday morning throughout the summer and fall)
You might have thought I was going to discuss my favorite children, Max & Liam, and their progress in the physical skillz department.
For example, you perhaps felt I would have considered discussing the amazing weekend they had last week. Where Max learned in an afternoon on the plaza to ride a Razor scooter, coasting along with amazing balance. Dozens of people on the plaza sat around having a beer or just enjoying being amused by the microkid with the oversized helmet scoot around...
We had over 20 different people come up and ask how old he was, quite astounding really. And a couple who came up and said, hey, he crashed, it was bad!
Well, it wasn't that bad. Really. He shook it off, picked up his scooter, disentangled himself from the split-rail fence along the patio border, and went to ride some more.
Or maybe I should have discussed Liam's dramatic conversion from a static sitter to a mobile kid-on-the-go! He spent a week trying to figure out crawling, mostly ending up going backwards and getting himself stuck under coffee tables and beds and such. But last weekend he suddenly figured out how to switch gears from reverse and has been on the go ever since.
He's getting pretty ballsy, really, chasing basketballs, beach balls, balloons, anything fun.
This week we're putting up the gates on the stairs and preparing for more serious baby-proofing again. Thought we'd taken care of it with #1, but here we go again!
So, 10 months old and he's catching up quick for a kid who looked content to hang out and watch his brother run amok.
Oops, there goes Liam up the stairs trying to follow his brother. Yea.
But, no, that's not what I'm writing about. Instead, I wanted to note that crumb cake is, as it turns out, very crumbly.
