First Days of the New Year

Well, the New Year has come in with a blast.

We spent it as a family and had a great time. My son is so much fun to be around when he is playful and angry.

I've given up trying to be strict with the potty training because from what I've read he is showing some signs of not yet being ready. I still make him go to the potty if I notice he has gone into hiding but I'm not yelling at him anymore to tell me when he has to go potty. From what I'm reading, it's a big no no.

On the other hand, I am having success transferring him to his toddler bed at night and he's sleeping the night away. I'll take the small blessings I can get one at a time.

I've just come from celebrating my husband's birthday weekend. Yes, weekend. On Saturday (1/5), we went out with his parents, aunt and cousin for dinner at D&Bs. Lots of fun. Today, we went out with my parents for brunch. My husband loves this one restaurant where they serve brunch on Sundays.

My task for this week is to organize the Christmas items that will go into storage for next year and setting up my winter/valentine's decor. There is one thing that will stay behind from Christmas and they are the flowers I bought on 12/27/2007. They are read, white, dark red, and red/white mini carnations that are still blooming strong. I bought them at Shop Rite for 3 bouquets at 3.99 each. They are the sturdiest flowers I've ever bought.

Well, I'm signing off to get some knitting done. I'm currently working on a scarf in teal with a really soft yarn. I'm trying to hold off buying yarn until the new stuff comes out but I'm tempted to since I have some AC Moore gift cards.

Until next time....
