Tomorrow is February first... is anyone thinking about doing 28 days of blogging? I'd actually forgotten all about it, but as luck would have it, I remembered this morning! Perfect timing, right? What's also perfect timing is how I'm spending this last week of January and the first week of February doing some minor... or major... changes to our house. Guess what most of my topics will be in the first few days of February? You got it- the changes in the house! I'm pumped! But I better get to work or I'll have no finished products to show tomorrow!
See you in February!

Catching up ... is hard to do.
Can you guys believe the gorgeous weather we're having around the midwest? Seriously, 50 degrees and sunny in January! I for one am loving it... but am also waiting for the snowstorms to hit. Preferably while it's still technically winter. Perhaps this is because I was totally prepared, with snow boots and snow pants for myself- not just B.
I'm working on a Christmas post, as well as little man's 3rd birthday post, but my motivation is severely lacking. Working mom sucks. So does busy at home mom. The busy just never ends, so I'm trying to work around it, but only so many things can get done!
To entice you to check back (as I know, I've been a horrific blogger this past year), here's a shot of the birthday boy himself from this week:
Hmm... also, maybe come February will anyone want to do 28 days of blogging again? Maybe that'll get me into the swing of things again...

No pants dance.
Is it just me or is it really hard to wear leggings in public? I think maybe it's just me... I always feel like I'm missing my pants.
Is that weird? I think I'll try to get over that, cause they're soooo comfortable!

Welcoming MOPS
Today we ventured out to join one of our local chapters of MOPS. My mother in law has been telling me to join since before B was born, but I was always a little skeptical, mostly because of the name = Mothers of PreSchoolers. It always made me stop and wonder if my kid was actually supposed to be in preschool. But when I heard that two of my dear friends were in this particular group and it didn't interfere with my pilates schedule, I immediately wanted to sign up.
We came, we participated. We conquered.
I'm so happy with how well B did. It's two hours and fifteen minutes of him in a playroom with other two year olds, without me! Last year, 20 minutes at the Y was impossible. Two years ago, an hour and half of bible study was hell. But this year? Pure golden. I really, truly enjoyed the small break to interact with other moms and I really liked the moms in my small group. B was so happy when I went to his room- he'd been playing with trains, snacking on goldfish, and coloring- what more could he (or I) want?!
I'm so thankful for my group of mom friends that I have here and I'm always happy to find more to get involved with. To find out more about your local MOPS- check out MOPS International... it's awesome, trust me!

It's been awhile...
Well blogger land, it's been awhile. Months, actually. A lot of things have changed, as they do in life and in the lifetime of a child... To begin with, updates on Mr. B-man...
He is fully potty-trained... well maybe not fully. I gave in and got pull-ups for night time. He's been dry though for the past three mornings, so we're definitely getting there. He doesn't wear them at naptime or any other time, so I'm pretty pleased with the success. It took about a week, back in May and then there was an accident here and there, but mostly just success.
We are slowly getting into TotSchool at our house. Sloooowly... I'll get better about planning in advance and getting real themes down. So far it's mostly painting and stuff, but we're at least working on something a few times a week!
His favorite thing to ask is "what's her/his name?" All the time. In line at Target, at the library, everywhere. And then when that person says "My name is Bob (or whatever), what's yours?" he buries his face in my shoulder and won't say anything. Some would say that's the smartest thing he could do!
B has had his hair actually cut twice. It's all boy and super cute.
He's SO obsessed with trains. Any and all trains, it's a little out of control. They're totally taking over our house and this Saturday we're going to actually ride on Thomas. He doesn't even know, but I know he's going to be SO excited.
... I could go on and on, but then honestly, I'd probably never finish and post this. So in order to get back on the blogging wagon, I'll post now and be done. This way I'll keep things for the next post :) I really will be back soon! with pictures!
