WOW! Time Flies?

Looking at the last post with pictures I wonder where the time went.   Since then, we have moved, gotten new jobs, lost a cat, gained a cat, and now Ben is turning 3.  3? Wait that can't be...... yup I guess it is...  He has come so far in that time!   He loves Thomas the train and dinosaurs.  Right now we are going through the oh so dreaded potty training. He can totally do it! He can pee and even poo on the potty... when he wants.  Most of the time he flat out REFUSES.  Kicking, Screaming, biting hitting anything ot not sit on the potty... Then as soon as he is off he grins and pees in his big boy pants.   SIGH.  Stubborn little kid!  The summer is coming to a close and we are sad to see it, but I am thrilled to be starting my 3rd year teaching first grade.  After this year.. Tenure! Whoo hoo!  I can't wait...though  I am not ready to go back to school, which I need to do starting like two years ago.  Tim is in the process of finishing up his masters after a few glitches last minute. When he is done, my turn!    Hopefully I can keep up on the blog a little better. maybe once a month?  we shall see.  I will try to post again after Ben's birthday party tomorrow since he is turning 3 and I can't wait to see his face when he sees the one thing he's been asking for  the last 3 months when we have asked him what he wants for his birthday... The convo every time goes like this: "Ben what do you want for your birthday?"  (Ben) " A cake"  (Mommy) "What kind of cake?" (Ben) "A Tyrannosaurus Rex cake!" (Mommy) "What color?" (Ben) "Green". Matter of fact every time.  SO hopefully he is pleasantly surprised tomorrow! He's getting a party with family and a few friends tomorrow and then Sunday, on his actual birthday we are going to go up to Mom-Moms and see the family up there.  So all presents etc will be done with the cake and ice cream tomorrow.  Fun times!= def going to be tired mommy........  If I can remember how since it has been so long, Ill update the photo on the side so it's not Ben as a baby!
