Holiday Blues

Well, where to begin. Our December has been a rough one. We lost another family member on Wednesday. That being Luke's Dad, David. He had a long hard 9 week battle of cancer and his last two weeks have been very rough and painful. He went peacefully early Wednesday morning. Everyone is doing okay, it is just still a shock to realize it had only been 9 weeks since we found out about the cancer.

Please hang onto your loved ones this Holiday season and enjoy every minute, because you just don't know when life changing event or news you may get the following day.

Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

It's Official

It is Official. Landon is completely potty trained. No more pull-ups at night. We have gone two weeks with no accidents at night. Holy Moly, I can't believe it!!! He just thinks it is so awesome as well. He has gotten up once in the middle of the night to go potty. Otherwise we just make sure that he goes potty right before bed and he is good to go. No more runs to Target to get overnight pull-ups. I even have a few left over. I am sure that he might take a step backwards or have an accident here or there, but as of now, I am thrilled. I truly can't believe how grown up he is. The things he says, does, and remembers just blows my mind occasionally. It is crazy. He is very good with music lately. He remembers a song by a note or two played at the beginning. He is crazy about the Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried" and Joey and Rorie's "Cheater Cheater". SO, that song might not be the best for him to LOVE but it he goes CRAZY! Now of course all I hear is that I better have another one, but I guess that just doesn't excite me at this time. I am content where we are right now. Maybe after winter this year or something, but not right now.


Here is a picture from Halloween. He definitely enjoyed himself this year too.

The Journey we will take

What can I say? It has been a few weeks from Hell, I guess. First off we got the bad news about my brother and sister-in-law. What a shock that was to my system. I think I am still a little dumbfounded by it, but what can I say. I don't live with them, and don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but I do feel pretty close to both of them. Which makes me believe that Chad is running from his own lies since he is sick of dealing with them. I love them both dearly and I can't even imagine Melissa out of my life. So, I am doing everything I can to let her know that I am not going anywhere. We can still be close regardless of the outcome of her marriage. I do hope my brother looks outside of his box and is willing to make efforts to change himself too. As that is where I see the change is needed the most. Keep your fingers crossed.

We also got some bad news about Luke's Dad. He is very sick and not sure what the future holds. He has cancer. I think he will be a trooper and make the best of what it is, but it is still a lot to take in. I am not sure how much the big guy thinks we can handle, but apparently we can handle a lot! So, say a little prayer and hopefully that will take us well into next year or years. :)

On a lighter note, we have our 6th anniversary on Sunday. We are heading to the Chanhassen Dinner theater on Saturday night to see the Producers. This is something that Luke has wanted to do for a few years and we just never did it. So, I finally broke down and got tickets. Thanks to my dear friend Trudy who got us a discount. I think this is something we are going to try and do more often as Luke does enjoy it. Hopefully it will be a good time.

Week/Weekend

Well, today marks day 5 of Landon's new daycare! I completely am in shock at how easy this move was for us. I hardly slept on Sunday night as I was a little worried about our decision to move him out of the center. But, nonetheless, Landon has done exceptionally well. :) Monday morning dropping him off was a complete breeze. He took his shoes off on the rug and walked down stairs all on his own, no looking back. Everyday since then, he has asked if he gets to go to his new school. Absolutely! So, I have been asking him now if he wants to go back to his old school, as we drive past it every morning, and his response was Nope! So, good choice by us and we are all that much happier.

Now, I can have a good weekend with no second guessing about the move. Luke and I are using up a gift certificate from my parents. We are staying at a bed and breakfast in Turtle Lake tomorrow night. I am not sure that I was looking forward to it, but I really think it is going to be a good time. We are going golfing before we check in, then we are going to head to the casino and hope for the big bucks, and then a nice dinner and then who knows. The B&B has things to do such as hiking trails, canoes, etc.. So, the weather is supposed to be awesome, so I think it will be fun for us.

Landon Turned 3

It is so hard for me to believe that Landon has turned three already. Where did the time go? He has become such a little man right before our eyes. I can't believe how much he has changed. He know pretty much dresses and undress himself, goes potty by himself, helps himself to the refrigerator, helps himself to the pudding pop box out of the freezer, goes outside by himself to play ball or ride bike, goes downstairs on his own, turns on and off the lights, gets in and out of the car, unbuckles himself from the car seat, talks on the phone, plays Wii, and it goes on and on.

Now the questions begin on when number two is coming along... Unfortunately there are no plans for number two anytime soon. I am still undecided on if I want number two. I always said I would have two, but I just don't know. I think I will make up my mind now that we are moving Landon, as of Monday, to a new daycare. We have made the decision to pull him out of the center he is at and have moved him to an in home place. Daisy Hill has just really fallen apart and all of Landon's "buddies" (as he calls them) have left. We are going to go to giggles-n-grins daycare where he will be able to play with Anthony Grinnell as he is one of the "buddies" he misses. It seemed to be the best decision for us as her curriculum seems better than Daisy Hill's and the payment is way less. Since the wonderful time of winter is moving in on us with Luke getting laid off, it just seemed smart to make the move now. I must say today being his last day at Daisy Hill was very emotional on me this morning. I was crying like a baby. His two teachers right now, Dana and Jodi, are absolutely the Greatest thing that has happened to Landon. They are the ones that have turned him into the little man. All the potty training credit goes to them. He would not be completely potty trained right now, if it was up to us, as we don't work as hard with him as they did. I will miss them dearly, but since he will be moving to the pre-k room with all the other 3 & 4 year olds, Dana and Jodi with still be with the 2 year olds, and that was the breaking factor in moving Landon out. I know that Anthony is more than excited to have Landon come join him, so we will see how Monday morning goes.

Here are some pictures from Landon's b-day party and a picture of his b-day cake. All he wanted was a skid steer on his cake. This was the best we could do.



The hate was made at daycare. Too darn cute!




The Skid Steer Cake!

Trying to blow out the candles, he wasn't really sure what he was supposed to do, but he figured it out.

Summer stuff


I can't believe that we are nearing the middle of August already. We are preparing for Landon's 3rd Birthday! Where in the world does the time go?

We sure have been busy, but not sure what we have been doing. Landon continue to entertain us. He sure does come up with some of the strangest things to say like "Monkeys have tails, and I am not a monkey because I have a butt and a wiener." I am going to have to give Jodi and Adam or my Brother credit for that one. I have no idea where that came from. He told me that on the way home from daycare last week. I thought I was going to dye.

We adventured to Milwaukee for another Brewer game last weekend and fun was had by all. I was a little nervous with Landon being in underwear the entire trip, but I think it is official, that he is completely potty trained. No accidents. He told us in the car when he had to go potty. It was great! However, he does have issues with toilets. If they are self flushing, forget it! He wants nothing to do with it. So, we had some issues a couple of times. He much rather just pull his pants down where ever he is at, and go potty. Like right by the garbage cans/sidewalk of the rest areas! It was so embarrassing, but I guess we will have that.

Here are some pictures from the game and from the water park that we stayed at.


Joe and Landon enjoying the view from our seats.

Landon loving the thumbs up sign, Dad just isn't too sure.



The lazy river, where ever Joe went, Landon did too!

Fun in a pail


I can't get over how much I have been laughing at Landon lately. He just cracks me up. So Wednesday night we were outside on our patio chatting and Landon came running from the front of the house and told me he wanted to take his shorts off since he had gotten them wet (I think because he peed outside and didn't aim very well, but I am not positive). So, I figured since we were in the backyard he could just run around in his undies. Then he discovered the sprinkler over by our garden and he was begging for me to turn it on. So, what the heck, I did! It was so comical watching him get hit by a drop of water (literally a drop) and scream and come running back by us. So, this eventually was getting old, and he was pretty wet by this time, so he decided to climb up on the dirt pile we have by the patio. SO, wet feet, pile of dirt, you know what his feet looked like. It was time to eat and I had to clean off his feet, so Luke had two five gallon pails of water sitting on the patio, PERFECT! I will dip Landon's feet in the bucket and clean them off. WRONG! He had to sit in the bucket and pretend he was taking a bath. I have to say it was so funny, the pictures just don't justify how much fun he was having in a pail! Here are some pictures that sort of tell the story. I guess it was just cheap entertainment for us!


Landon's new little smile he does!




Gotta love it!

A Little Soggy

What a soggy weekend! My Mom had won tickets from the radio to go to Country Jam in Eau Claire on Saturday to sit on stage with Joe Nichols. We were so excited. Luke also won 2-three day passes to Country Jam from his employer. So Luke and I went on Thursday night to see Taylor Swift and Rascal Flatts. Wasn't too bad, other than I had one or two beers too many. We skipped going on Friday so we could take Landon to the County Fair, which he loved the Llamas and the bunnies. So, Saturday my Mom, Luke, Todd, and I all pack up and head to Eau Claire to get good parking and not feel rushed. It was an extremely warm day and we were enjoying ourselves. 5:00 rolls around and Mom and I head up to the stage. We couldn't believe how close we really were. We were having a good time until about the 4th song and they announced that we had to get off the stage because there was lightning. So, we get off the stage and people are running. Literally running as the rain drops got bigger. We stop at the k102 booth to get a poncho (not sure why since I was already practically soaked). We went to our lawn chairs and then tried to find the boys who were in the beer tent with the thousands of other people. It was crazy. We wedged our way into the beer tent, but the wind was horrible, and we were still getting soaked so we ended up by the mixed drink booth under a little lean to deal. It wasn't horrible since we were out of the wind. Luke was texting me and said he was bar tending in the tent as Mom and I are standing in ankle deep water and it was only getting deeper. I was pissed since Luke was bone dry and I was literally drenched. About an hour and half later, two inches of rain later, the concerts resumed. Clay Walker was great and then it was Carrie Underwood. She was okay, but we were so full of mud that we left early since cars were having to be towed out of the parking lot. It was nasty. All in all it was a good time and we really do just laugh about it now. Here are a couple of photos:




Don't we look cute! Todd, Me, Luke & Mom

Mom & I on stage before the rain hit

This weekend brings me to my 10 year class reunion. Hopefully I will look prettier than I do in the pictures above and we will have good weather. No more outdoor country concerts for me this year. Hopefully next year we will be able to go again. It is just hard to have to leave Landon all the time. So we will see.

Just another day

It has been awhile since I have left a blog. Things have been extremely busy with another funeral and typical summer stuff. First off, we had another family loss on Luke's side of the family. His Grandpa Keck passed away last Thursday. We all knew it wasn't going to be long after his sister passed, but it still doesn't make it easy. We know that he had a huge reunion in the place he is at now, and that is what he wanted, but he will be greatly missed.

On a lighter note, Landon has been extremely busy as well. He is about three quarters of the way potty trained. We seem to make more progress as time goes on. He only wears pull ups at night. However, he has issues with going number 2. We have to catch him before he comes to let us know that he has gone in his big boy undies. However, those times are getting less and less. He is becoming such a big boy. I almost had a melt down last week when he was so proud of himself that he can turn his own bedroom light on and off. Just two weeks ago he had to have his stool to reach. That means he is getting taller and taller. Hmm, I guess that is good and bad, but man, it is going so fast.
Last weekend Landon was invited to his first Birthday party for his friend Max from daycare. It was so cute. They are so much alike but yet so much different. Here a few pictures.





We also went to the Mall of America to play. Here are some pictures of that.

Blah days of May

Where to begin. The last two weeks have been pure hell. I had two funerals last week; one for a family friend that was 86 and was hit in a car accident and one for Luke's Great Aunt (very close to being his Grandma) at the age of 95 and this week will bring me to my third funeral for a very good friend of mine's husband. He was 62 and found out 3 1/2 weeks ago that he had renal cell cancer and it was fast moving, as he passed away on Sunday, May 11. I spend a lot of my summer hanging out with Arden and Trudy as we golfed a lot together. It is so hard for me to understand one of the sweetest men in the entire world was chosen to leave us. He leaves behind a wonderful wife and two boys and his grandchildren. Trudy has many things to be grateful for as he was diagnosed with cancer 12 years ago. God gave him 12 WONDERFUL years of life cancer free, and unfortunately the worst really did hit.

I have never been affected by losing someone so fast as the result of cancer; it just shows that you can't take each day for granted. As Arden went to the clinic from a week of just not feeling too well, and look what happened, it was just the beginning of a deal.

Trudy is a very strong person, and loved by many and is now able to take sometime for herself and begin her new journey. Things will definitely be different, but I know she knows Arden would not want her to change a thing. Get out and swing her golf clubs yet this summer.

Please remember that anything can happen at any given time as these last two weeks I have had a lot of reasons to think about stuff. Life is precious just as our little ones are. Enjoy each and every minute of every day.

Small but Strong

Yesterday (Tuesday) was Landon's surgery. As nervous as I was, it all went good. However, I was have some anxiety on Monday night and Tuesday morning.

Landon woke up in a good mood and was ready to go to the doctor, if he only knew what was in store for him. Surgery was about 45 minutes and the put in tubes and removed his adenoids. The Doctor said that Landon had a lot of fluid still on his ears so tubes were the definate answer. Recovery was a little slower, but he came out of it.

We got home and he wanted to play ball. So, I believe he is feeling well. At daycare today and I haven't gotten any calls, so it must be all good.

Amen to that.

Bike Rides


Now that is it finally starting to get nice out, we are able to go on more walks and bike rides. We have a cart that goes behind my bike that Landon just loved to be in last year. This year, he is a little on the heavy side and gets so extremely hot in their since there isn't much ventilation. So, I took it upon myself and bought a bike seat for him that attaches onto my bike. I am a little nervous about it since I better have good balance and stuff. We will see how it goes. I think that Landon will like it much better just since he will get the fresh air and I will be able to hear what he is saying. But with that, I also bought him a bike helmet since he will be completely exposed in the seat now too. I have to say I laughed for about an hour last night at him. He was so dang excited about his helmet and knee pads. It was brought to my attention that it looks as though he has a frog on his head, but really it is Diego. Just too funny! Check it out..

On a darker note, Landon and I went back for a check up with the Ears, Nose, and Throat doctor yesterday to find out that his ears are still not clear of infection yet. So, needless to say, on the 29th, he will be having surgery to put tubes back in and remove his adenoids this time. Pray for great results and that this will be the final time. :) It will be exactly two years to the date on the 18th that he had tubes put in the first time. So, we did pretty well for about a year, and then started to slide down hill again. I pray this is it.

Horton Hears a Who Who

You guessed it, Landon attended his first movie this past weekend with Grandma and myself. I guess for being 2 1/2 he didn't do half bad. We went to the 7 o'clock show and it got to be a little late for him as he found it way interesting to climb on the seats that folded up and sit on the floor and eat his popcorn, but all-in-all he was pretty good. He is still talking about the movie and couldn't wait to get home and tell his Dad that he saw Horton Hears a Who Who. Where he got that, I am not so sure.

Sunday we went shopping with Grandma Kathy and Landon got a new baseball glove. This glove fits his right hand and he absolutely LOVES it. I swear he was going to wear that thing to bed with him. Now he just has a dilemma of wanting to throw with his right hand as well. He had a left handed glove and he always wears it backwards on his right hand, so we thought he must want to throw with his left (seeing how he does everything else with his left) but now he wants the glove on his right and wants to throw with his right hand. I guess we have to wait and see what works the best for him. It is funny watching him try to get the glove off his right hand so he can throw the ball too.

It finally appears that spring might be here. We still have snow in our back yard considering the snow drift was up to the bird feeders, but it is dwindling away slowly. We grilled out last night, and man did that taste good. I can't wait for the wind to disappear and be able to go outside without a coat and hat on. It will be great! Landon is enjoying the outdoors more as well. We have gotten out for a few walks with the Cooper and the stroller. Maybe this winter weight will start to dwindle as well.

Where does the time go?

Another weekend has come and gone. I am not sure where the time goes or what we do with our time, but it seems to fly by.

This past weekend we spent all day Saturday watching my nephew, Joe, wrestle at a tournament in Baldwin. I must say Landon is totally into wrestling. He sat so well, and took in all the moves that Joe did. He is imitating the moves and facial expressions still today. It is quite comical. I think Joe gets a big kick out of it though, since Landon idolizes him. :) Not a bad thing either.

Potty training continues. It seems as though we are almost there and then Easter came along and he was too busy to think about going potty. So back to pull ups and yet he only tells me after he has peed that he has to go potty. He is doing great at daycare and is always in big boy underwear, but when he gets home it is a different story. I was told to not even use the pull ups and just keep him in underwear, but I am struggling with that too. I gag worse than I would changing a diaper. However, I think that is the stage we are at. He just has to run around with wet pants and not like it before he officially becomes potty trained. He will be moving into a pre-school room at daycare at age 3, but in order for that to really happen he has to fully potty trained, so that is what I am shooting for. Hopefully we can get over this hump soon. I know that I have to be more adamant about making him go potty, and so does Daddy, need to work more at home. This summer should be interesting with the peeing outside concept. Not sure if that will be good or bad.

Last weekend, I spent the weekend in St. Cloud with my sister-in-law Jen. We had a blast. We were scrapbooking. It actually worked out great. We went out to see some of the old bars that she used to drink at a century ago on Friday night and then all day Saturday we were in our room scraping. My old roommate, Katie and her family came to visit me. It was great seeing her and Joe and their newest member, Aubrey. So much fun. You don't really realize how much you miss a person until you see them and miss the conversations. I was so glad they were able to come to the hotel. And thanks Katie for all the scraping stuff. I have used some already and the books have been put to use already as well!!

So that is what I have been up too! Luke is finally back at work. I am not so sure he is excited about it, but I know that means the weather is going to be getting nicer and we should be back to a somewhat normal life again, right?

Some Easter Pics

Landon's new smile. With his bunny from Aunt Cheryl

Items out of the Easter Basket

My Boys!
Landon was not into the Easter Egg Hunt at all. I think that he found two eggs and then the basketball was more fun. He lost all interest in the egg hunt. I guess that isn't all bad though, then there was less chocolate for us to bring home. :) He did enjoy the mashed potatoes and ham though. Oh yeah, and the pie.

March has been a Whirlwind

My oh my!! Where does the time go? I need to pinch my cheek to make sure I know where I am lately. The first part of March I was dealing with a bulging disc in my back and was doing a bunch of doctoring and eventually ended up getting a cortisone shot. Boy that was a great time. It seems to help a little in my back, however; now it feels as though the ache has now moved into my hip/butt area. I am hoping it will pass and everything will be just ducky with no aches. We will see.

I was hurrying to get my back fixed so Luke and I could head to Vegas for a 5 days last week. Man, was that a great time. We went with Luke's cousin and his wife. Joe and Luke attended the ConExpo, which is a construction trade show. While Robin and I did some shopping. It was a great time had by all. Vegas is a great place to go once, but I am not so sure that I need to go anytime soon. Maybe in 5 years or so. We spent a night at Coyote Ugly. Man, we had a great time. We were teased about our Wis-con-sin accent, which I still think is strange. We stayed at the Excalibur. Did a lot of walking down the strip and people watching. It was just a great time. I am not back at work trying to get off of Vegas time and back on a working schedule. It is sort of hard to do. I will post some pictures when I remember my camera. :)

Today brings us to bringing Landon to the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor to have his ears checked out to make sure that he has no hearing loss after his last ear drum rupture. I am hoping there isn't and making sure that they will put tubes back in his ears this fall so we can prevent all those dang ear infections. We will see. Luke's Mom is still persistent on that Landon's ear infections are due to eating dairy. I read some articles, but I am just having a hard time believing. So, we have many questions for the doctor today. Hopefully he will have some good answers for us.

Then we are off to the Chris Daughtry/Bon Jovi concert at the Xcel Center tonight. I have wanted to see Bon Jovi for years and this year for Christmas I got Luke and I tickets. I can't wait. I am sure it will be a great show. Hopefully I will have some good pictures to post after tonight.

This weekend is Easter already so we are off to my Aunt Cheryl's house for the day on Sunday and then the following weekend I am spending a weekend in St. Cloud with my Sister-in-Law Jen scrap booking. Nothing like getting everything done in the month of March. I am really hoping April things will slow down for us. Oh wait, yes things should slow down a bit since Luke will officially be back to work as of April 1st. If I could still do a cartwheel I would; and he is on mandatory Saturdays from the get go. It will be good having him back at work and bringing in a normal paycheck other than unemployment. There really is light at the end of the tunnel.

What to do??

So, we had another weekend that was pretty uneventful. Landon was pretty cranky as he has been for the last month or so. We ended up taking him to the ER on Sunday to get his right ear checked out as it was draining a lot of nasty stuff. It appeared that his ear drum had burst and it was now draining. I must say that was very nasty. I guess it is a good thing that it is draining but man I felt horrible that I didn't know about the ear infection. He is now on Zythromax which is a strong dose of amoxicillin and he seems to be doing well with it. His nose and ear are looking better. I think that we are going to be on tube set number 2. Luke is going to take Landon to the Doctor on Thursday and ask about getting another set of tubes but in his ears. I feel horrible about all this. I just pray to God that he has no hearing loss. Even though he does ask "huh?" a lot!!! We will see what she has to say. Keep your fingers crossed.

This weekend brings me to a Saturday of scrapping at a local church which is really needed considering I am still a year behind in pictures. My Aunt is even coming down to spend the day scraping. I am looking forward to it. We are also getting ready for our Vegas trip which is a week away from Sunday. It is a bitter sweet deal for me. I am really ready to have some alone time with Luke, but it is going to be hard dropping Landon off at Grandma's on Saturday night. But it should make the love grow fonder, right? I am going to do my best with not calling home and having to hear him and just wait to see him on Friday. I hope I can do it.

Potty Time

I just had to mention that I think we are almost potty trained. Landon has been dry all week at daycare and doing very well letting them know when he has to go potty. I can't believe it. Daycare is now asking for us to bring "big boy" underwear for him to try out. I am a little concerned about that, but we will see how he does. I also brought about 3 changes of clothes anticipating accidents.

However, being at home he isn't so great. What is up with that? He shows very little interest going at home. So hopefully this weekend, we can change that. We plan to work very hard with him and we even bought a new Bob the Builder seat that fits inside the regular toliet seat then he can use his stool and everything. Cross your fingers for us that he can do it and we conquer this hurdle.

Ice Skating

What a weekend we had. Landon experienced for the first time ice skating. Okay, he didn't really have ice skates on but he was on the ice with his boots and in a sled. He thought it was fun. He was all bundled up and getting irritated since he couldn't move around as well, but he did survive. Chad, Melissa, Joe, and Kelsie decided to go ice skating (Kelsie was the only one with actual skates on) but Chad and Joe had a great time playing what they call hockey and Kelsie practiced being on her skates. They had invited Landon along. It was beautiful on Sunday so it was a great day to get out and enjoy the sun. Landon will not become a hockey player but we sure did think the picture was cute.
We are also battling the potty training grudge. Landon seems to be doing pretty well at daycare, however, when he comes home it is just a game. He is in a pull up now, but at home we can catch him pooping and he just will not sit on the potty. It is frustrating. I just feel that we aren't ever going to get over the hump. We just keep taking it one day at a time and hopefully it will just magically happen. If anyone knows any tricks that will trigger him, please share them.

Life being a 2 year old

We had a weekend at home and never leaving the house. I can tell you, live as a two year old must really be tough. Landon seriously has the whining thing down to a science. I don't know who was more annoyed, Luke or myself. All Landon knows how to say lately is "I don't want it" and throws himself down to the floor and cries and kicks. He spent some quality time in his room over the weekend, just for not wanting or caring to listen to us. He just truly thinks that we should do everything for him. I am hoping that this just a phase that he goes through, or I am not sure what I am going to do. He whines and then you finally get him calmed down or after he has been in his room for a period of time, he then all the sudden says "Hi Mom" and then wants to play. Is it a test of my patients or bi-polar or what? Everyone laughs because he is such a boy and knows it, but seriously, I don't know that I can take it much longer. AGHHH!

Other than scolding Landon we all had a great weekend watching the Packers take a super win over the Seahawks in the blizzard in Green Bay! Hopefully they will pull off the win this weekend and then we have a reason to have a Super Bowl Party!!

Time for me to get back on my New Year's resolution. I started out so strong, and I have jumped off the band wagon already. It is terrible. I just don't seem to have time to workout anymore. I feel so much better when I do and I am paying to workout on my lunch hour, but the last couple of weeks have been a struggle. We are taking a little vacation in March and I am not going the way I look right now. So, hopefully that is enough spark to make me get there and work out.

"My Nuk is Broken"

It is official, Landon is done with his "nuk"! Last Saturday Luke took the plunge and cut the end of the pacifier and gave it to Landon. The hole was very obvious and Landon saw it right away, but he still shoved it in his mouth. When he started to suck on it, he knew it just wasn't right. He took it out and told Luke that his nuk was broken and threw it to the floor and fell asleep. It was beautiful. So 6 days later we are still nuk free. All he says now is "Daddy cut my nuk". It was hilirious at first now I just keep telling him that it is broken. One habit down and how many more to go. Now, it is time to concentrate on the potty training.

Oh, the New Year Resolutions.

Have a great weekend.
