Amen.

Disneyland...

We spent this past week in Disneyland with my family--it was so much fun! Two of the days were freezing cold, but the other days were pretty nice. It's REALLY making me long for warm weather....Tate loved looking out the window while we took off

I think the highlight of the trip for Tate was meeting Buzz. He just kept staring at him and smiling, it was so cute.In Bear Country there's a place where kids can splash around so Tate was in heaven. At one point he was so soaked I took his pants off and let him run around in his shirt and diaper. A worked came up to me and told me that he wasn't allowed to be without pants and to put them back on. Seriously?? He's 2 years old, not some creepy old guy walking around naked. Duh.Here's most of the gang on Small World...with 19 of us we took up almost 2 boats! We had to go on it like 6 or 7 times, since Tate cried every time we got off. So I resorted to filming the whole ride for him to watch later....all 10 minutes of it.

standing in line for the new Toy Story ride...with our cool 3-D shadesI must be getting old because I cannot go on the Tea Cups of all rides...it makes me so sick. So Jord and Meg had to go on it instead.

Goodbye old friend....hello big boy bed!!

I would like to say farewell to an old friend who's been good to us for 19 months. But now you no longer serve your original purpose--you are now a balance beam, a climbing wall, and a diving board. Til' the next child.....

Now, say hello to our new bed:

Ta-da!! Tate loves it....well he loves jumping on it. Hopefully someday I can get him to actually sleep in it. (I'm hoping the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse bedding will draw him to it...)

I feel blah...

Jordan says "blah" isn't a word, but I beg to differ. Blah is when the weather sucks, we're stuck inside bored to tears, my hair desperately needs a cut and color, I need some new clothes.....you get the idea. Hence the reason for my lack of blogging too. This is about all we've been up to lately:
I can brag because I'm his mother--he really is good at making baskets, he rarely missesTate's first tie I finally bought him, and he's almost 2 years old...I swear I didn't pose this, I found him this way and I almost shed tears of joy. A man after my own heart.

Time for a diaper change??

Cry Baby!

For some reason I have been doing alot of crying lately--and I'm usually not a crier. (and NO I'm not pregnant) I cried watching The Biggest Loser, cried watching P.S. I Love You-seriously, have you seen that movie?? Good lord, I bawled the entire 2 hours! And Tate has also made me do some crying- I cried when he burned his foot really bad last week on my hair straightener coz' I felt so awful....but mostly he makes me cry out of frustration! He's been so naughty, and whiney, and clingy, and throwing huge tantrums.....and I can't stand it. Oh, and this he does now for fun when I want him to go to sleep.

So today he had his 18 month check up and I talked to the doctor about it all. (fyi for my own record: 21.9 lbs-10% and 33 in 50%) He said I need to quit calling him naughty or he'll live up to that name. I need to call him my good boy all the time instead, even when he's being naughty. So here's to my GOOD BOY, you better live up to THAT name.
