Race Day

Trying not to freeze before the race. Thank goodness the rain stayed away.

Me and my Sissie!

Some of my MOPS friends.

Lining up.

Starting the race.

Finishing strong. (I'm on the far left)

I had two goals going into the race: 1. Jog the whole time. 2. Make it in 35 minutes (which I've never done). I made both goals! My time was 33 minutes 40 seconds!!! Woohoo! :)

The rest are pictures from after the race; waiting on family and friends to finish.

Auntie D. dancing with Munchkin.

My support system. Couldn't have done it without the support and love of my guys.

MIL and SIL crossing the finish line.

First timers

Here's to more races in my future! Anyone want to join?!?

You just did what?

As soon as I finished my previous post Munchkin just counted out loud from one to ten in Spanish. My work here is done! :)

3 New Sentences

Today Munchkin has said three things that I had no idea he knew how to say:

"No I can't!"
"Whose is that?"
"No money, no ticket."

The firs two he said to me during breakfast as we were having a conversation. The third I overheard him say while he played independently.

Since we're sort of on the subject anyway, here's what Munchkin's been up to lately:
He can count to 13.
He knows all his letters and the sounds they make.
He is learning his shapes.
He still loves all things Sesame Street.
The majority of the time he is singing or humming. (Just like his daddy!)
He loves to pretend.
He loves to say, "I'm gonna get you mommy!" and then we proceed to chase each other through the house.
He still loves fruit and vegetables.
We are in the beginning stages of potty training.
He takes one nap a day (sometimes he doesn't take any nap) that usually lasts from one to two hours.
He currently has to sleep with four stuffed animals.
He has trouble correctly pronouncing the 'r' sound.
When eating, he is finally using his fork and spoon. Most of the time. :)

Be Patient!

Munchkin is officially well. He hasn't had a breathing treatment in a couple of days. We're almost done with the antibiotics too! So glad things are getting back to normal around here. I'm sure you can tell by the lack of posting - especially the lack of pictures in my posts - that we haven't had much routine lately. And I thrive with routine.

I also have a couple of videos (that are pretty old now) that I've wanted to post, but just haven't been motivated to take the time to do so. When Munchkin was sick, any free time I had I did not want to spend it blogging! But...the plan if for Munchkin to go to his grandparents for a few days soon, so I should get it done then.

---------------------------------------------

Today Munchkin went to the dentist. No cavities! Woohoo! However, the dentist did tell us that Munchkin doesn't have enough space in his mouth for his permanent teeth. Therefore, when he gets his permanent teeth, they'll be very crowded, and probably crooked. It looks like we're destined for braces.

------------------------------------------------

Yesterday I was getting Munchkin some raisins after his nap. He was standing beside me in the kitchen, looked up at me and said, "Be patient."

What's That???

Yep. It's started. "What's that?" is the question of the day around here. It officially started on Friday while we were reading a book.

I don't know how much I'll blog this week. It is going to be pretty busy around here. Tonight was the only night we don't have something going on. And let's face it, Munchkin doesn't give me a lot of time to blog during the day. I know I've posted during the day before. But that only happens during nap time or if I have prepared a post in advance and get a quick minute to put it up here. I post in advance quite a lot - usually on weekends or after he's gone to bed. If I didn't do that, let's face it, I probably wouldn't have a blog. It amazes me how much energy one kid can have.

On that note, he took an extra long nap today. And instead of doing other things while he napped, I slept too. Two glorious hours. Two hours!!! It was incredible.

Here's hoping I don't lay awake until 2 in the morning because of it.

Good night!
