Happy Birthday to ME!

What to do for your own birthday when turning 26...  read a book.  May sound lame but it is something special when your a busy mom who never has time to read an article from a magazine let alone an entire book.  Sure many people would get a baby sitter and go do something "fun" but as I read and snuggled with the boys, made them lunch, and even played with the little stinkbugs it was the best birthday ever!

I also went out to dinner with my family and had a wonderful time enjoying a meal with them.  Atticus provided many laughs with the backwards and hilarious way he eats broccoli.  Annashod and Naate enjoyed drawing pictures back and forth trying to guess what the other had made.  My parents and I had great conversation and the food was delicious!

Overall I would say 25 was a pretty good age but I cannot wait to see what 26 brings!

Well guess I have survived the end once again I was hoping something major would happen.  How cool would it have been if Atlantis came back?  Jimmy Hoffa found?  We learned the secret to life... oh the amazing things that could have happened today are endless!  However, I just worked and loved on two little boys.

We also decorated some cookies with the God Mama's family and Atti couldn't resist devouring the one he decorated making a mess.  Nate got messy too but his frosting removal skills are slightly more advanced.

Big day for Atti

I cannot believe how time flies.  It wasn't that long ago that I was potty training Nate.  He was great at going #2 in the toilet right away but took a couple days to get the pee thing down.  I have pictures of him sitting on the toilet reading a book some where and he still likes to take his time on the "throne" now and again.   

Today Atti woke up with a dry diaper so I figured "what the hey I will let him sit on the toilet and get used to it see what happens."

I expected him to look at me like "Mom you are crazy, I am 50 feet in the air, I don't like this... GET ME OUTT OF HERE!!!"  Instead I got a cool collected little baby who looked like he had been using the toilet all his life.

And he PEED!!!  

I cannot believe that at just 10 months my little boy used the toilet.  I know that it will probably be awhile before he is fully trained being as he cannot walk or talk but still feels like the beginning of the end.  The possibility of not changing diapers anymore or pulling a freshly washed load out of the dryer are a little depressing.  My little boy is growing quick.
