Have I told you about our first parenting-two failure?  The day we brought Tim home from the hospital (which was the day after he was born, so July 4, 2007) was it.  Tim was in his swing in the office, minding his own business.  We (parents) were in the kitchen, I don’t know, eating?  Anyway.  Tim started being complainy.  We didn’t jump right up, because, we’d been through this before and we were less anxious about every sound and twitch.  After a little more complaining, we asked Tara (who was in the office with Tim) if he was ok.  She said, yes, but Tim was being loud and she couldn’t hear the TV.  So we went in to investigate.

Apparently, since Tim was the same size as Tara’s babydoll, she figured he was just the right size for hauling around…and so she did.  She got him out of his swing and hauled him up onto the couch.  Where he began complaining. Yea, he was less than 48 hours since birth.

First failure at parenting two.

And there have been quite a number since then…but no need to embarass myself further (and cause any faintness among the more anxious in my readership).

But a few days ago, while I was on the phone - blissfully enjoying the fact that there wasn’t a child hanging on my leg or interrupting my conversation in any other way - this happened:

Apparently there was a popcorn party.  And since I was on the phone and they have been scolded in the past for interrupting, they carried on without inviting me.
