Odds and Ends

As usual I've been too busy, too lazy or too forgetful to post lately, so now I'm stuck with a quick catch up post!

I really can't tell you what all we've been up to, but I know it's been a lot. One thing we did manage to get in lately is a quick trip to the beach - the first of the year!

The Saturday of Memorial Day weekend we loaded up with Aunt A. and Uncle M. and headed to our favorite "local" beach. BBug wasn't a huge fan of the water - what can I say, she's her mama's girl - but BuddyRoe couldn't get enough - he's his daddy's boy!

Note to Self: Pay close attention to your sunscreen. You never know when your preschooler will decide she needs some more!

BuddyRoe had another adventure yesterday - he got his first buzz cut! I made Hubby take him while I was at dance with BBug, and when they showed back up I have to admit that I teared up a little. He doesn't look like a baby anymore...he's a big boy!

And speaking of big boys...look who has moved on up and out of the crib and in to a big boy bed! Yes, I know we're crazy for transitioning him to a big boy bed at 20 months, but KNOCK ON WOOD, PLEASE DON'T JINX ME so far he's done really well! We were worried about how to keep him in bed until he fell asleep, but we've got that part figured out.

He only gets a pacifier (which he now calls a 'ma') at bedtime, but boy does he love that thing! Sometimes on the weekend he'll ask for his 'ma' and then go to his bed - we joke that he needs his 'ma' fix. Anyway...to get him to stay in the big boy bed we just told him that if he gets out he has to give us the 'ma'. That keeps him in there pretty well! I just lay with him for a few minutes and then he's out.

So far we haven't made it all the way through the night without him ending up in our bed, but this morning we made it until 4:30 (only 45 minutes early)! And then he didn't end up in our bed, he went straight to the kitchen for juice!

And I know this is completely random, but I have two really funny BBug conversations to share.

We were at daycare when we realized someone we know is in BuddyRoe's class. The mom asked me where my other baby was. When I told her that it was just BBug and BuddyRoe she said, "Oh, I thought you had three." BBug quickly piped up with "No, but we have a dog."

I don't know if it's that funny on here, but I almost wet my pants it was so funny at the time!

The next BBug story also had me laughing. She was at dance when she saw a woman we used to go to church with. The lady said, "BBug I haven't seen you at church lately."

BBug's response was, "Yeah, we go to a new church. They have doughnuts!"

So apparently BBug isn't in to the new church for the fellowship, awesome Sunday School or time with the Lord...it's all about the doughnut buffet. I think I have some work to do there!
