So my mother emailed the other day and asked if she and my dad could read my blog.
I threw up just a little bit.
And have yet to answer.
Crap! What the hell? First I'm "twooced*" at work, now my parents want access?
In all seriousness though I'm not really sure how to handle this. Of course they will be hurt if I say no. And my mother will be sure I'm writing all kinds of nasty things about her.
Rich thinks I should say yes and just tell her if she reads something on here that she doesn't like she has to talk to me about it, not get mad and stew about it. He also thinks maybe it will be good for her to read what is really going on in our life, especially with Noah.
I'm worried though that I'll feel I need to censor myself. I'm already doing it somewhat because of work. Although, as I think about it, I guess it's not holding me back too much.
I guess it goes back to the post I wrote a while back about what direction I want to take this blog.
What do you guys think?
* twooced = my version of being "dooced" because of twitter

Baby got diaper
No movie Monday this week. Sorry. Just not enough time to put one together. But, in its place I have this picture, that I took at the mall yesterday. Unfortunately, I wasn't that close when I took it on my phone, but hopefully you can get the idea.
See the little boy? See his diaper? See what's below? His pants, yes. But what is even harder to see is that his pants have a belt, and they are deliberately situated low on his hips gangsta style (is that the right term? Shit, I'm so not in touch with the current lingo.). To show off his diaper!
Can't make this shit up people!
Edited to add: I need to make it clear guys, this was done to this poor child on purpose!!!! This was not a case of pants not fitting right, his parents gave him this look ON PURPOSE! I saw him several times over the course of about an hour and he was like this every time. Truly unbelievable!

Two bodies love me!
Wow, what a wonderful surprise to receive a comment from Kelly at A Rainbow after the Rain and from Katia at Crazy for Trying telling me they had both awarded me this:
Wow, I'm so honored! Thank you so much ladies! This is my first award! Whoohooo
And now, I get to pass it on. Here are the rules:
Upon winning this award you are tasked with the following rules…
You have to pick 5 blogs that you consider deserve this award for their creativity, design, interesting material, and also for contributing to the blogging community, no matter what language.
Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
So here are my five recipients...
Deb at Postcards from the Edge because she's like my crazy "older" sister. hehehehe And she's about to get a new blog design which is going to rawk!
Pam at Pantsfreesia because she makes me laugh with every post. And she loves her cats as much as I love mine.
Aunt Becky at Mommy wants Vodka because she gets having a kid like Noah. And I love her blog header. And she makes me laugh. And, well, she has this tiny little baby growing inside her that is kicking her ASS. So give her some love!
And finally...Bejewell at The Bean because she too makes me laugh, and think. I just found her blog a couple weeks ago, and she doesn't know me at all. But heh, how else does a stalker get her start?
And really finally, finally, because clearly I can't fucking count, Mell at Stirrup Queens and Sperm Palace Jesters because she is just plain awesome and both Mell and her blog have had a huge impact on me.

Movie Monday - Robbie hates Elmo
This is my friends dog Robbie. He doesn't like Elmo, or Barney, or puppets on TV in general.
I know the quality sucks, took it on my cell phone. And it only took me five hours to figure out how to get it off my cell, on to my laptop, find a program that would convert it and play it, then edit it and post it. I am THAT good. Ughhh....

Show and Tell - my new blog look!
For show and tell this week I am very excited to show off my new blog design! Thanks so much to Shawna at See My Designs by Shawna for my new look.
Shawna was great to work with and put up with all my "could we try" and "I'm not sure about the color" bits. And her prices were very affordable. Shawna girl, you don't charge enough!
I highly recommend See My Designs by Shawna!

Proud
Noah has a lot of sensory sensitivities that have turned in to phobias and fears.
He is scared of public toilets, especially automatic flushers.
He is scared of movies because they are so loud. I took him to see Shrek Three last summer and he was so scared by a preview of The Transformers Movie that we had to leave. He is incredibly sensitive to violence and anything that shows shooting, yelling, fighting, etc. completely freaks him out.
He is terrified of thunder storms, which translates to fireworks as well. Last summer we were able to watch them from his bedroom window. As long as the window was closed he couldn't really hear them.
Well, let me tell you about this weekend. We have made a break through!
This weekend Noah went with us to watch fireworks and loved it! He started out with his hands over his ears as we were walking to them, even though they had not started yet. Once they started he kept his hands over his ears for a while, then only covered one ear, then eventually wasn't covering them at all. I was so proud of him! No more fear of fireworks!
Then Saturday we ran some errands and then ended up at the mall. About ten minutes after we got there he told us he had to pee. In the past when that happened we have had to go home. A few times we have taken him to the bathroom and he promised to try, but once there he has freaked out and wasn't able to even try, even if there were no automatic flushers.
Well, this time he did it! We kept talking up how proud we were that he had not been scared of the fireworks. I think he was proud of himself and that helped. And he pee'd like a champ!
And Sunday, we started talking about going to see Wall-E. At first he was all "no thank you," but I found a trailer for it on YouTube and showed it to him. He got excited and said "OK Daddy, lets go." And they went, and he loved it.
Three phobias tackled in one weekend! Woo hoo!! Noah you RAWK! We are so proud!
