We're growing up!

Last week we celebrated my sister-in-law’s (who’s always been a sister to me) birthday. It’s hard to believe we’re all so grown-up!



Friday I was still down for the count with some improvement so Daddy took our son to play with some kids at the mall. They had such a good time. We finally found something to motivate our son in the potty training process. Temporary tattoos! He absolutely loves them & as you can see he is making progress. Doesn’t he look like a Hell’s Angel? Once he’s got it down pat, we’ll have to start phasing them out but for now I’m not concerned.



Saturday our son had a blast playing with other kids climbing through tunnels. Then he recruited me (giving me quite the workout) when he wanted to climb through the higher tunnels. It was a huge tunnel system up to four or five stories high! I’m not a fan of heights & it definitely made me nervous climbing up there. Somewhere in the mess, is a tunnel about 5 feet long that you crawl through four stories up. As I was crawling through VERY carefully & slowly, our son looked back & said, “What’s wrong, Mommy?” “I’m just a little nervous,” I replied while looking down. “Oh,” he said. Then he kneeled down, smiled mischievously & started to SHAKE THE TUNNEL! What a punk! “Please stop that honey,” I asked. He topped, smiled again & moved on. That’s just what his father would have done I thought! And oh… how true it is! While I kept crawling after him, he would stop every time we saw other kids, point at me & say, “Look! It’s my Mommy!” as if I were show-and-tell. At least he had a good time & it gave me a good workout too.
