i was angry!

we live in a ground floor apartment, which means that sometimes i leave my kitchen door open and let momo play on the sidewalk/yard right outside while i clean up.  well, yesterday, as i was getting our groceries in the house, i passed by that very sidewalk, and there was dog poop right in the spot where our precious baby likes to play!!  and there were big juicy flies all over it and flying all past our windows.  i was hopping mad!  i mean, the owners of that dog might as well have taken their dog's poop and smeared it directly on our child.  i was so angry.  for hours!  like fire-in-my-belly mad.  i honestly can't remember ever feeling this way.  i guess it's a momma-bear reaction?  anyway, it passed, and my super-human husband cleaned it up and even disinfected the area with some bleach.  

i filed a complaint with our office because it's been happening rather frequently recently.  bah.  i actually want to just find out who is doing it myself, collect the poops, and leave it on their sidewalk so that they can deal with it.  is that vindictive/obsessive?  maybe.  i blame it on the momma-bear reaction, because i would never even dream of doing such a thing if my baby's safety weren't part of the picture.  weird, huh?

in other, less angry news, i meant to mention that moses's favorite word these days is "dott'n."  like i'm crossing my T's and dott'n my I's.  he says it all the time, and it's just so lovely.  we haven't yet been able to prescribe a meaning to it, as we had been able to uncode his previous regularly-recurring phrase "boom boom boom," which was "i'm tired of this now."  

he also has been puckering his lips like a duck, and also sucking in his cheeks sometimes.  it's a face that invites even more kisses than usual, if you can imagine that.  

lovelove,

dott'n
