Oh, yeah!

I have a blog! I should probably update once in a while, right? Let's see the big news, as of late, is that D money turned 3 years old! We celebrated his birthday with a return trip to the yurts at Nehalem Bay. It was fantastic despite the rainy weather. We climbed sand dunes, played ridiculous lawn games, made a camp fire, and "roughed it" with some good friends. D wore his birthday crown for five days straight often proclaiming that he was a king! It was such a busy, fun weekend that we almost forgot to give him presents! Luckily for D, Dave remembered. D is pretty excited about his new tool set or, what I like to call, nine thousand more little pieces.

Let's back up a few weeks though, and celebrate the fact, that D, one day simply decided to potty train himself. He decided he was done with diapers and has never looked back! With the exception of a few mishaps it has been ridiculously easy. Yes! D is actually making huge developmental leaps and bounds. Almost every day, he demonstrates new phrases, concepts, and imaginative play ideas. He still makes adorable mistakes and at times, is hard to understand. For example, he uses the word "yesterday" to mean something he did in the past, whether it was yesterday, last week, or 6 months ago. Like a lot of three years old, he insists on doing things all by himself! He also demands to fill his own lunch box every day when I am packing Mizz's lunch for school.
