SNOT

So, in 6 weeks of school here's what we've had:

A cold
A stomach bug
A broken leg
A mystery virus causing a high fever
Another cold he woke up with today

I mean, really? These little ones are just petri dishes disguised as cute toddlers.

Bring on the hand sanitizer!

Big Boy

We had our 2 year check up yesterday - still tall for his age and about average for weight. Thomas did great - no tears at all; not even when he had to get a shot! We talked about what comes next for him - the dreaded potty training and getting rid of the crib.

We've been thinking about the move from crib to bed and were considering Christmas break a good time since we'd both be around a lot. We already had a toddler bed for him in the attic ready for whenever we were ready to move him. After our appointment yesterday we decided why not just try it out - we figured if it didn't work, no harm-no foul. Thomas slept like a champ last night and at naptime today. He also helped pick out his new comforter today and is very proud of his big boy bed!

Our friends won a contest for HGTV and will be on the show Curb Appeal. They won a $20,000 makeover for their yard and their house was painted. The Big Reveal was this afternoon and we went to their house for the taping. Thomas found one of their dog's balls and was more thrilled with that than anything else for a while.

Happy Birthday little boy!

Yo dance dance

A great moment of play with a birthday present.

A party

Whew - Eight 2 year olds with chocolate cupcakes. We must really love our kids!

Uncle Bob's Farm

Hayrides, pumpkins, roosters, chickens, goats, corn maze......what a great Saturday morning!

We went about 45 minutes south of Atlanta to Uncle Bob's Farm. We had such a great time there - we saw honeybees at work, took a long hayride through the farm, walked in the corn maze, chased geese and ate lunch at picnic tables. And now......it's time for his nap (any maybe ours!).

Preschool

After a rough few weeks, things are beginning to settle down. Today, for the first time since we started, Thomas had no tears during school. He was excited to go (Thursday is bread baking day), he was very brave and cute when he said goodbye to me this morning, and when I picked him up he was covered head to do in flour and bread dough.

.....and exhale.........

Talking up a Storm

A few of my favorite sentences this week:

Mommy dropped grape.
Daddy park car driveway.
No Daddy...... Mommy go. Bye bye (as he waves me away to fix dinner)
Cock a doodle doo! (says Brewster the Rooster)

Much fun!
