Hadley is in love with a stash of Post-It notes she found in a drawer. Apparently, she has never played with them before because she keeps hugging me and thanking me for making them and giving them to her. (I’m laughing to myself now because I neglected to clarify that I didn’t actually “make” them. I just accepted the adulations.) Every couple of minutes she dreams up a new use and is tickled pink all over again. Currently, she is putting signs on all of the doors letting people know they can go in that particular room.
I said the other day I saw a girl who spoke like Brian Fellows from SNL. Lately, Hadley has sounded like the Caitlin character Amy Poehler plays on SNL with Horatio Sans as her stepdad “Rick”. It’s hilarious. She’s all wiggly and sing songy.
Finn, at 18 months, is insanely verbal. He repeats everything and knows more words every day. The people at the bagel shop this morning asked if they could keep him as their mascot because he was running around the place yelling “Bagel! Bagel!!”
I am horrified that I missed the majority of the Golden Globes last night. I don’t know where my head was. I actually sat there and watched a Tivo-ed episode of Wife Swap with Peter saying every few minutes “What IS this??” I figured it out at 10, in time to watch a few of the good ones at the end. I was standing up close to the TV in order to catch as much of everyone as I could take in. I saw Hoffman accept his much deserved award for Capote and am thrilled Reese Witherspoon won, even though I didn’t see it. I adore her even more after last night. She is the cutest and I love how she’s this down to earth, nerdy mom but is gorgeous. I was calling her a beautiful nerd last night. She was all comfortable sitting with her hubby at the table, yanking at her strap like she was at a PTA meeting. I love her. Glad Felicity Huffman won too. I’ve been high on her for a while now. Most recently she gave an interview with Leslie Stahl and, I’m going to paraphrase but, basically Leslie Stahl said “Isn’t Motherhood the best thing that has ever happened to you?” And Huffman replied “Well, No. But see! I just said that and you gasped, Leslie! It’s not acceptable to say something like that.” Leslie Stahl then said “Do you think you’re a good mother?” Huffman said “I don’t know…” It was so brave and honest and I loved every minute of it.
