In an effort not to depress myself or you tiny clan o' readers, I have been dodging blogging much about the day to day of my current affairs. I shall continue to do so until there is more pertinent information on that front, but as a tidbit I will tell you that we are currently investigating follow-up/preventive treatment options for Bobbie.
On a slightly related but lighter note, Killian is saying a few words now. The ones that I can claim to have heard clearly enough to count are "Bye, bye", "momma", "dad", "Bob and Spongebob", "ball (specifically when pointing to a ball)", "cool" and "discombobulate (though I can't really be too sure about that one)". He's definitely coming along. Should be one heck of an adventure.
He's definitely getting more hyper and energetic as we enter the "terrible twos" and bringing the first remnants of tantrums with it. We have introduced the Penalty Box in lieu of Time Out for punishment and it seems to be pretty effective some of the time. For me, the biggest challenge right now is his kicking during diaper changes, mostly because it hurts and makes the diaper change itself next to impossible. However, the threat of a penalty (2 minute minor for testicular endangerment) seems to be slowly influencing his decision to continue kicking. Additionally, he has discovered that he thoroughly enjoys a high pitch scream battle regardless of whether there is an opponent involved or not. This can make for an embarrassing time in public since you can't really try the "just ignore him" technique while others suffer the consequences.
