My Big Boy

Collin had a big night last night! We had a run-in with the "Paci Mouse" (you will have to read the previous post) and he pee-peed in the potty!!! He was starting to poop in his diaper and we ran to the potty and he pee-peed!!! He was so proud. Then he ran around the house naked and pee-peed on the kitchen floor and then pee-peed in the potty again. So, it is definitely a work in progress.

GOOD JOB COLLIN!!!! We are so proud of you!

The "Paci Mouse"

We have had a visit from a "mouse" that likes to eat pacis. Collin seemed to be open with the idea, until bedtime last night. It took him 1 hour after I put him to bed to settle down, and he didn't settle down until I gave him a non-nibbled paci. Maybe we will try in another week or so. I am hoping that we can work on in while we are on Spring break in a few weeks. I will update you on our progress (or lack of)!

I love...

Collin and I were on our way home tonight and in the back seat I hear him saying, "I love bear", "I love God", "I love Santa". It was cool hearing my 2 year old say, "I love God". It's good to know Collin's priorities (bear, God & Santa) are in line! ;)

Happy New Year!

I thought I would share our Christmas photos. Better late than never, I guess. Collin had the stomach bug on Christmas, but we were still able to celebrate. We thought that it might be something he ate, but after a day or so, Todd & I, my family, and my sister's boyfriend got sick as well.

Todd and I are so excited to be starting this year with a new job. It had been such a hard year with his job loss, my grandmother dying, and other stresses along the way. Thank you for all your prayers through this past year. It has been great having such good friends and support along the way. I pray that your families are blessed this year.

Collin got a bicycle (thanks Shea!)

Todd got video games. I got a Cricut Expression!!!!

Praise God!

We have beend praying and some of you have been praying for 8 months for Todd & our family. Todd got the call on Thursday the 18th that we have been waiting for. He was offered a job position and he accepted! He will starting his new job on Monday, December 29th! Praise God for this wonderful blessing!

30!!!!!!!!

It is official, I am 30! It hasn't been too bad so far. I had a minicure & pedicure, out to Hickory Falls for appetizers with Todd, and saw 2 movies (1 in the Roxy and 1 when we got home from the RedBox). I think 30 might be fun!
