My sweet little boy… he is getting better at it, but he is still such a pain in the rear when it comes to sleep.

We have had more than our share of bed time problems with this little two year old and yet bed time continues to be a thorn in my side with this little one.

I was putting away the dirty dishes last night, when it hit me… I am the mother of a two year old toddler, who at this very minute is sleeping in a twin bed all by himself! A wave of emotion ran over me at that moment and I had to swallow hard and fight back the tears, because as much as I would like to deny it, my son is growing up.

At 5:34 am yesterday morning my baby little boy turned two!! How can that be? Where has the time gone?

HAIR!!!

It’s been hot here in the Midwest. The temperature has been rising up to the high 80′s to low 90′s for the past few days now but factor in the humidity and it feels more like high 90′s to low 100′s… that’s just plain ol’ oppressively hot. While I’m loving the sunshine, I’m not a fan of feeling like you’ve walked into a sauna as soon as you open the front door.

We’re lucky to have a Regal Cinema’s theater here in our town… why? Because during the summer they have the Free Family Film Festival, meaning that every Tuesday and Wednesday from now until sometime in August they’re showing a G and PG rated movie that you can go and watch for FREE!!! (I love free!!)

It’s come to that time… we are attempting to potty train Noah. I would love it if he was out of diapers by the time the baby is born. I hate to think of having to change 2 dirty butts! So I’ve given him… and myself… a goal… to have the box of diapers that I bought last week at Sam’s Club be his last box of daytime diapers.

Happy 18 months Noah!!

I can’t believe that you are getting to be such a big (little) boy!! It feels like just yesterday we were bringing you home from the hospital… and now look at you!

Noah reached a pretty big milestone today… he is spending the night sleeping in his new big boy bed and not in his crib!!

Ray and I needed to get out of the house… the only problem is that it is FRIGID out there right now. So we bundled Noah up in his new hat and mittens and his winter coat…

Noah has started doing something new for fun…
