Little Man is 2? What?

Well, news on the home front is that I haven't posted in a long time. But I guess you knew that! But the good news is that I have internet at home now, so sometime in between finding time to play with Little Man after work, Clean my now enormous house (more on that later) and getting back into running I should have time to post more right? I guess we will see.

Last month as you all know my Little Man turned two! I know it's hard for me to believe too, but it's true! We overcame a huge hurtle before his second birthday-he got POTTY TRAINED!!!! Thanks to the huge help from my mom and my niece who cleaned up mess after mess while I was at work, and kept him in his tighty whitey's I can officially say he was potty trained before he was two..but barely! It was definately a long hard couple of weeks for me and I don't know what I would have done without my mom. She is a lifesaver, if it weren't for her Micah would probably be in diapers still. She has much more patience than me. All in all potty training was a success and he caught on much much quicker than I had even imagined (even though I wish it was even quicker, I know I need more patience) He is even staying dry at night. He does have an accident now and then, but what busy kid doesn't after all, it's much more fun to play outside in the enormous backyard than to come in for five seconds to go to the bathroom. I am sure we have all been there at least once in our lives.

Now the next hurdle we need to overcome is sleeping through the night. Yes you heard it, I have a two year old who doesn't sleep through the night. What have I done wrong, I thought I was the perfect parent who would have a child sleeping through the night at 3 month old! HA HA he did go through phases of sleeping through the night, but alas they didn't last. Any pointers from all you veteraned mommies out there?

But anyway, here are some pictures from his 2nd birthday party. We were lame and didn't have a huge party for him with all the family like we did for his first, but it was a nice small gathering with Mike and my niece Kylie and I. We enjoyed ourselves and lost patience waiting for Little Man to so delicately open his presents. Come on! Rip those suckers open!

 CHEESE!

Yes, My son adorable!
