Good Boy Mommy

My mom, bless her heart, came over Wednesday and helped me clean the house from top to bottom. We spent the entire day doing it. But my house looks fantastic! She even managed to help me move furniture around in Cole's room and the living room.

With the new placement of Cole's crib, it is hard to get behind the crib to get his toys that have been thrown, pushed, or rolled back there without having to move 2 other pieces of furniture.

So naturally, when Cole's "firetruck" had fallen back there he asked me to get it for him. After 15 minutes of trying to get it with the broom, I decided to wedge myself in his crib and reach for it. No avail, my little hands didn't reach. So I got one of his books and finally I was able to get it.

I hand it to Cole and he says, "Good boy Mommy."

Mini Milestone:Potty Training

Cole wanted to take a shower this morning so as I undressed him and took his diaper off, he said "I wanna go pee pee poo poo in the potty". I scooped him up quickly and sat him on the toilet and within seconds he started peeing!

Now, don't get excited, I have very low expectations of potty training quite right now. But nonetheless, he was able to feel the urge to pee and hold it for just a few seconds! I am one proud mommy right now! WooHoo Cole!!!!

Shaddow cont...

My intent was to tell you about Shaddow on Saturday, but I left for a leadership retreat with the Junior League of McAllen and just this afternoon returned.

As you may have already imagined, Shaddow passed away on Friday. She had been coughing really bad on Thursday, so Friday morning we took her in first thing. She seemed to have trouble breathing again too. They took xrays and we saw that her heart was 3-4 times the size it should be. It was pushing up against her windpipe, hence the trouble breathing.

The damage was irreversible. We would have to limit her activity because any exersion caused the wheezing and coughing. This meant eating, walking, feeling anxious, basically just breathing was an exersion.

We were given two options: take her home and give her 4 different meds daily to help her cope or make the decision to put her to sleep.

So on Friday we all said "goodbye" to Shaddow, our chihuahua of nearly 12 years =`(

Shhh...

Just some silence today. A moment. For Shadow.

Crayon Discovery

Cole has discovered that he loves crayons. Luckily, they were the bathtub ones. Whew, a breakdown averted.

I am sooo dead!

Will is going to kill me when he sees these pictures. He's only two, hon. It's ok. I thought it was very impressive that he could actually walk in them. There, I said it, I was proud!


omg! I just read the shirt. HaHaHa!

Cole's furry friend

Max has grown quite a bit since I last posted pictures of him. This is him now. Cole is loving every minute of Maximus, although every boo-boo he has he blames it on Max. He does sometimes jump on Cole. We're working on that...

"Goo boy, Macimus".

"Macimus, release! Releeaase!!!!"
