Big Boy!!

It is 8:30 at night, and I went to put my sweet little boy to bed, and he said "no mommy, I do it". He didn't want me to help him go to bed. HE IS ONLY TWO!!! I never realized how quickly he would grow up. He wants to do everything himself. He wants to get out of his carseat by himself, out of the car by himself, zip up his coat by himself! But, there is one good thing to all of this. He went pee on the BIG BOY POTTY! All by himself! Yeah!!!

I am beginning to realize that he is never going to stop growing. I so miss the new baby smell, cuddling with him in the chair, and waiting for that first adorable little smile. But, every day he does something that makes me love him a little more. My sweet little boy is going to become a sweet man someday, and I pray that I am around to see him through every stage.

I love you John William.

New family member

Well, Jake called me the other day from his job in Klamath Falls, to let me know that I needed to puppy proof the house again!!! He just got us a new little family member. He had gotten an 8 week old Border Collie puppy. We already have one, but Jake thinks he is lonely, and decided he needed a new little buddy, and that JW needs a new little friend. So needless to say, I picked up all of JWs toys, and got out all our puppy supplies, and headed to the store to get some puppy food.

We have had the puppy for 5 days now, and he has got to be the easiest puppy that I have ever had. He goes out the cat door, that was here when we moved in, to go potty, and absolutely loves JW. JW is a little rough, but the puppy just runs outside if he can't handle it. It is nice, because now JW has someone to play with. I think he gets a little bored with just Jake and I to play with. I can only drive cars around the table so long before I get bored.

Hopefully someday we will have a playmate for JW, but until then, I guess it is pets for us!!!

We fianlly settled on the name Cash for the puppy. We figured since we never have any real cash, that this way we will always have some Cash around. LOL. I know, my sense of humour needs some work!!!
