Nice weekend

We had a very normal weekend, and it was wonderful. The hectic days of the last few months are a thing of the past. I couldn't be happier.

Saturday after looking at furniture with Grandma, you spent a couple of hours with her concentrating on potty-talk. We're really stepping this up now, trying to get you excited about the potty and the big girl panties you'll get to wear. Last night, in fact, I let you try on the JoJo's Circus panties and you danced around the living room enjoying them. Then it was back into diapers and jammies.

Anyway, I was able to clean and reorganize your bedroom FINALLY while you were with Grandma. It was great to be able to put your new big white bookshelf in there. Finally room for all your books. In fact, it looks like you have none, taking up less than 1/5 of the room on there. I'm sure that will change.

We also put the Christmas goodies in the attic, which itself was cathartic. I feel like we have our house back at last.

Yesterday we enjoyed a nice stroll up to Mama Java's coffee shop with Grandma and Uncle Chris and later in the afternoon we got to enjoy some free gourmet gelato at a new gelato joint at 36th St. and Camelback. That was really nice, and you are a gelato convert. Too bad the freebie stuff is over and I'm sure that little cup you enjoyed will probably be $3.00 today. Oh, well, it was a special treat.

You're still doing well, though you've got a little cough going on. Considering how nasty my cough has gotten (I'm finally going to call the Dr. on that), yours seems very minor. Hopefully it'll go away quickly.

So, back to the grind. Next weekend - shopping! And soon I'll be planning for your birthday and making your 2-year Dr.'s appointment. I'd better get on that considering how far out they make well baby appointments.
