Mr. Independent

The little man has finally mastered the task of going potty all by him self. He can now go in the bathroom, turn on the light, lift up the toilet seat, and do all by himself.
My goal before this bun decides to come out of the oven was to get him to go all by his self. Completed.
He has even been going number 2 with out a potty seat witch is so nice. Now he can climb up on to the toilet all by himself. The only problem with this is he can than climb down by himself and pull up his pants. Thus creating a mess on the potty and in his pants. Next step wiping which I have been told that takes along time.
Yesterday he was dancing around the living room when I asked him if he needed to go. He replied yes and than ran outside. Not really knowing what he was doing I followed him only to see this...

When I asked him what he was doing he replied "peeing grass." I guess I was asking for it. Since we ave been out and about this summer we have been doing lots more peeing outside. Hopefully when the weather gets a little colder he will venture back inside.

A few last days of summer

Friday night baseball. Our family had an enjoyable night at the Tacoma Rainier's game on Friday. It was one of the shortest baseball games I think that I have ever been to. Only 2 hours. Following the games there was fireworks. Last time we went the fireworks did not start until after 10pm and this game they were done and over by 9:20pm. It made it nice because the last game the little man fell asleep just before the fireworks and this game he was wide awake. We will have to see if we make it to anymore games this season.

Saturday morning Parade and Picnic. Our little town of Milton hosted there yearly "Milton days" on Friday and Saturday. The little man enjoyed watching the parade minis the clowns and the horns on the firetrucks. We all sat on the sidewalk sipping hot coco.

But half way through the coco made it thought the system and when you got to go you got to go.

The face of a very happy boy.

Getting back into the swing

It has been so long since I have blogged I have almost forgot how. I thought it would be like swimming. I guess I just need to jump in and not look back.
The little man went back to sleep this morning after waking at 8:30am and slept until noon. It was nice to have a morning to get some house work done that I has neglected yesterday when I was not feeling well.
So with waking at noon he did not take a nap so he was down for the night at 8pm. I dont think that he has ever gone to sleep this early ever.
I will end with a picture I just have to share. Everyone out there with a toddler can relate.

I am back

Since it has been over 5 months since I have posted I should do some recapping.
The little man is growing like a weed. He is now two with a whole head full of blond curls (I dont know if I should leave them or cut then?).



The hubby is still out of work but hopefully he will be getting a job soon. I can only keep praying. He is nice to have around the house but somedays I just dont know what to do.

Well as for me I am a year older and I have a bun in the oven! I am about 11 weeks along and I am feeling great, other than this morning when I threw up a few times. It has been a while since I have had morning sickness but this almost feels a little like a bug of some sort. Than my hubby had to go and tell me about a pregnant women in Puyallup that just died from the swine flu. If I am not paranoid enough.
I am just having fun living life and loving it.

Rain, rain go away

I understand that I do live in Washington but it still does not need to rain for a whole week. Before today I had not gone for a walk since lass Friday and I was having withdraws.
Between rain storms and since the little man is feeling better he was able to play outside for a little while.


Maybe this coming week the rain will stay away long enough so that I can plant some seeds in my garden and maybe go for a walk or two.

What we have been up to

It has been a long time since I have blogged but I am just going to go back a week.
Last Thursday the little man started having diarrhea (not in the toilet either). It continued for a few days and than came vomiting. We are now over all of that but with a new problem, an ear infection. I was just talking with some people a few days ago about how he had never had an ear infection. I now know not to talk about that kind of things.
So yesterday he came into my room at 6am telling me 'ear hurt.' I thought maybe he just slept on it wrong. Nope. He kept talking about it hurting and we never went back to sleep that morning. After a quick trip to the doctor, some wonderful pink medicine, and a very long nap we are back to normal.


They are so cute when they are sleeping even if its in the middle of the living room.

Still alive

I am still here. It is just hard to blog with out Internet. When I do get around the Internet there are so many other things that I need to do blogging is just not on my my mind. I guess I have just gotten out of the loop. Maybe I will get bit by the blogging bug again soon but until than my blog is going to lay silent. So until next time.
