Let's Get Started...

Well, I have had this account open for a while. Got the idea from a few friends, thought it was great so signed up. I have been having some trouble getting my page to look how I want it to. It's been frustrating and I pretty much gave up. It looks ok, but not how I had hoped. Maybe at a later date I will try again, but it took so long for me to even get it halfway decent looking that I'm just going to leave it for now, lol...

Anyways, the reason I started this is for the same reason my friends did, to keep everyone updated on our lives happenings without have to update 17 people, 3 websites, 10 emails, etc... This way it's all in one place and everyone will know where to find it!

So let's see, what been going on in my life? Well, we are trying the potty training thing slowly but surely with Liam. That's the big excitement in our lives right now, lol. I got him this book called Liam Goes Poo in the Toilet and he loves it. He just cracks up whenever we read his name. It's so cute! He has been going potty pretty well. I'm not forcing him, but he loves to try. He hasn't really gotten to the point where he will tell me if he has to go yet, I just ask him on occasion and he runs in the bathroom whether he has to go or not. Or if I see him doing his 'poo face' I run him in there. He's pretty good about it, as good as you can expect a 17 month old to be I guess, lol... He wakes up in the morning pretty often with a dry diaper so I put him on first thing and he usually goes then. Tonight he actually went in there by himself and put his training seat on the toilet and so I went in there to help him and he actually went! I was so proud. *tear* So I think he's getting the concept. And he always gets a Sweet Tart when he goes as a little reward.

In other news, our anniversary is Sunday. Six years! Six LOOOOONG years, lol j/k... We already exchanged gifts because I needed mine, lol. Greg bought me a Cricut machine. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a little computer for scrapbooking where you can type things in, and load any kind of paper and it will cut the picture, or text or whatever out for you. It can be all sorts of different sizes and stuff. It's pretty neat. I "needed" it because I was making Liam's one year baby book, lol. The book turned out super cute too! I can't believe how big My Little Monkey has gotten! Almost 18 months old, where did the time go? Sorry off subject... I got Greg a new softball glove and I gave it to him early just because I got my gift early. He picked it out so it wasn't like it was a surprise anyway. I was going to do the traditional six year gift of iron for Greg and get him a new set of golf irons, I thought that was pretty clever lol, but he said he would rather have the glove over anything so that's what he got.

Tomorrow I have the day off and Liam and I are spending it together. If it is nice out we are going to draw outside with chalk and blow bubbles. We also need to go to the grocery store for a few things and Barnes and Noble because Mommywood came out Tuesday, lol. Yes I am a Tori Spelling fan, I can't help it lol! Maybe if Liam is good this time, he can get the Wonder Pets doll he wanted last time. He was VERRRRY bad last time we went there so I told him no turtle and made him put it back! It was so sad, lol... But I did buy him a SpongeBob and a Wonder Pets book.

Well, I think I have reached my limit of blogging for the evening. I will try to keep this updated as often as possible. It's not always easy to get 20-30 minutes to sit down and do things like this with a toddler running around creating havoc in his wake! Good night!
