Travel Back in Time!

I am working very hard to get caught up with Adam's scrapbook. I have a few pages I ened to do with scissors and glue to finish up his first two years (2005 and 2006) but have been creating his 2007 album digitally. I have a list of all of the events I want to scrap and am slowly working my way through it. My goal is to stay caught up with 2009 and get 2007 scrapped this year. 2008 will come when 2007 is done!

This weekend I scrapped like crazy and had fun reliving some of our memories - wanna see? I know you do!

When I'm ___ I can ___

Lately Adam has taken to making decisions about his life. He understands that he is too little/young to do some things - so he makes a decision as to what age he will be able to do said thing.

For example "When I'm sixteen I will go on an airplane." or "When I'm twenty-five I will drink beer like daddy."

It's quite humorous to hear his desires as well as the age he thinks it's appropriate to do so.

Yesterday, his statement make me sad and happy at the same time.

"Mommy, when I'm 5 I can have a sister."

What? I asked, hearing the word sister and not really understanding.

"When I'm 5 I can have a sister."

"You want a sister?"

"Henry said sisters are fun. When I'm 10 I can pull her hair."

Great Mommy Moments

Here's one I never want to forget and one I want to remember to tell all of Adam's future (waaay future) girlfriends.

Yesterday at 4:45 p.m. I strolled into the daycare, as usual, to pick up my little munchkin (so we could race home and finish prepping for Mike's birthday).

I walked into Adam's classroom to find my little guy with his pants around his ankles. "I peed in the potty mommy, see!" He proudly told me. I looked in the potty, and sure enough, filled with pee-pee. Assuming that he had just finished going potty, I did my proud mommy happy dance for him as the teacher explained to me -

"Right now I'm changing his dirty butt, he actually went on the potty during naptime and wanted to save it for his mommy."

I laughed. Hard. My little guy was so proud of his pee that he had to save it for mom. I felt pretty lucky, getting to see my son's 4 hour old pee sitting in the potty just waiting for me to look at it.

We've been busy!

Hello! Happy March everyone! Hope life is treating all of you well. Things have been quite hectic in our world the last few weeks - let me fill you in!

First, both Mike and Manda have had to have some dental work done, not very much fun at all! We figured while we were spending so much time there we should bring Adam in for his first dentist appointment! He refused to open his mouth, so we'll try again in 6 months.

Additionally, Manda has had a sinus infection for a long time now and we're finally getting some help. A lot of testing has been done and it seems the problem is partly allergies, partly a funky tissue issue in her nose. Nothing to get worked up about, lots of medications to treat the problems though, so that's been an adventure!

Onto some fun news, as you know from previous posts, digital scrapbooking has become a big part of Manda's world - so big in fact that she has opened a digi-scrap shop and is selling some of her templates there. Isn't that fun? Not a lot of extra money and most if it goes right back into the hobby but it has been fun setting up shop!

Finally, we just got Adam's spring school photos back. Not as adorable as usual, but still cute! Enjoy!
