I really am a slacker.

"Hello friend." That's how my two and a half year old (!) says hi to our friends now. My, what an adventure we have been on lately. We have successfully introduced soy into his diet, started him at a new school (both which have been tremendous successes,) and Wilson decided he didn't want to wear diapers anymore. Most parents would rejoice, however, most parents do not have such a stubborn child. He is doing quite well with the #1 part of it, however the twosies are just not working out for us. In fact, I just had to change him in the middle of a park shelter because he wouldn't go on the potty and instead dropped one in his undies. Right before daddy's surprise birthday lunch. Aaahhh, memories! Regardless, I am thankful that he is working on this huge milestone, and that we get to be a part of his life.

I am amazed and humbled by the growth and changes I have seen in him lately. It's easier to understand why people have children 2-3 years apart now, he is no longer a baby but a little boy. What a difference that is. He is having full conversations with us, involving himself in our daily activities, and helping us out. This morning, we decided to surprise hubby with cupcakes and Chipotle at the park where he and uncle Scott were supposed to be playing basketball. We went to Kroger, where he got the little man shopping cart, put the ingredients he needed into his cart, up onto the conveyor belt, and handed the lady the money. All the while, saying "please, thank you, excuse me, etc." What a little Mr. Manners we have! Every time we go to the grocery together, the young cashiers always comment on his flirting abilities, which are quite stellar. Hey, not everything was from dad. ; )

In other news, please be praying for a good friend of ours, Krugie. She has been diagnosed with multiple allergies at the age of 23. Man, if she would have only listened to me a year ago...I digress. This is understandably an overwhelming and frightening time for her, so please pray for guidance, comfort, and knowledge for her to get through this.

Also, welcome to the family, Josh. He married hubby's baby sis last weekend in AZ. There are pics up on her facebook page if you are her friend. Unfortunately, we were not there, but she looked lovely.

So, how have you guys been?

Blessings, Wilsonsmom
