4th Generation

My Grandfather  was a talker. 

My mother is a talker. 

I am a talker. 

It now appears I am raising the next generation of talkers.  

Louann Brizendine at the University of California discovered through her research that men speak an average of 7,000 words a day and women almost 3 times that amount! Seems like a lot right?  I guarantee we blow those numbers out of the water. If there was a pedometer equivalent for counting spoken words, I can almost guarantee it would be smoking at the end of the day if it was strapped to one of us. I’m totally aware that this can be an irritating trait for adults to have, but it’s pretty freaking entertaining coming out of a toddler.

I am a stay at home mom to 3 fantastically loving, hilarious, and bright kids that are a daily test of my patience, brain power, and bladder control (I have always been prone to peeing my pants when laughing hysterically).

Charlotte is 4 years old and can be best described as a tiny adult with moments of pure silliness.  She is generally serious, thoughtful, intelligent, helpful, cooperative, and happy.

Henry is 2 years old and everything about him is refreshingly typical of a 2 year old boy with the exception of his sizable and impressive vocabulary. The combination almost makes him seem like a cartoon character at times.

Adeline is 4 months old and just developing her personality. She is quite smiley, loves her big siblings, goes with the flow well, but still likes to keep me on my toes.

This blog is my motivation to create written memories for my children and myself to look back on.  I hope it brings a little humor into your lives while helping me get through some of my 20,000+ daily words.
