January

Oooh, Barracuda
Started to notice
Wito’s wicked memory
at 18 months old
March
Traveled to Boston
to visit my darling niece
made observations
April
Felt like a celeb
Featured in The New York Times
Still can’t believe it
May
Nightline followed soon
Also a trip to New York
Filmed on a talk show
Unfortunately
the segment didn’t make it
still worth it, these girls
June
Hair Thursday website
was born, also the Kick Ass
Workout Plan, big FAIL

Blogher in San Fran
Cut a rug or two, viva
la Sprinkler and such
Also learned how to
use a Neti Pot, which I
now can’t live without
August
Big Wito turned two
Long road trip to Sun Valley
Beautiful up there

Twilight, Edward lust

Lots of fun crushes
Even some mild stalking plans
Cali Thanksgiving
December
Oklahoma bound
ten days with my family
I love them so much
Kept resolution

Proud I haven’t quit

Happy New Year, all!

I just completed
my Hair Thursday video
A couple months late
It has taken me
an embarrassingly long
time to edit it
However, not my
fault, iMovie08 is
devil incarnate
Once I switched back to
iMovieHD, it was
easier than pie
Guess what I’m doing
on New Year’s Eve? Swigging tons
of Nyquil, damn cold
Of course, I will not
swig Nyquil because I have
huge control issues
I would rather writhe
in pain than take drugs, thanks to
my pharma career
What are you doing
for New Year’s Eve? Please do tell
Vicariously

Please close your browser
if you do not want to read
about Mister Wito
Don’t write about him
much anymore, but I’m a
proud mama, I promise
Right now, he’s singing
the Spanish Alphabet song
How does he know that?
He wants me to sing
with him, but he’s way smarter
than me, dumb mommy
His memory is
astounding, remembers just
about everything
This does not bode well
for me, since my favorite
words are profanity
Crazy spelling boy
Video from the month he
turned two years old here
Please excuse my gross
appearance and cloying voice
I apologize
I know what you are
thinking, we’re Rick Moranis
on Parenthood, yes?
Not the case with Wito
It’s like the kid craves to learn
Good Lord help us all
He is most likely
staging a near coup d’état
of the Whoorl household
Above all, he is
now big pimpin’ thanks to his
spoiling grandparents

Don’t get me started
on the cuteness of little
cousin Sam, love him
I am now finished
Come back for next Wito post
in 2010
