10 on Tuesday...on Thursday

1. Laken had her 9 month check up yesterday. Everything went well, no shots, and she's grown 3 inches since her last appointment.

2. My baby boy is going to be 3 on Sunday. I CANNOT believe it! I just want to hold him tight and not let him get any bigger.

3. School has started back this week and I keep hearing all the talk about the "first day of school." I am not looking forward to that day. I will be the Mom that stands on the sidewalk at school and cries...all day long.

4. I had an awesome run last weekend with Erin. She pushed me and I thought I was going to die, but in the end it felt awesome. I should be on track for running the 5K in October.

5. Speaking of that, Erin and I are going to try the Susan G Komen 3 Day Cancer Walk next year. It's 60 miles over 3 days. I'm really excited about it and will keep you posted. We will have some fundraisers as each team member has to raise over $2000.

6. So potty training with Grayson has been a bit of a challenge. He does good with it WHEN HE WANTS TO. I had a talk with him the other night and told him that he would be turning 3 this weekend and 3 year olds don't wear diapers. He keeps telling me that big boys have to wear big boy pants. We'll see if this works. When he turned 2 I told him that 2 year olds don't use pacifiers anymore and he gave it up cold turkey. I'm hoping the same strategy works for the diapers.

7. side note to #6...I may be washing lots of dirty underwear, but we'll give it a try.

8. I'm starving right now. I have a Bagelful to eat, but it doesn't sound good. I really want some Mexican.

9. We've about wrapped up our garden for the summer. The only thing that's left growing is our pumpkins and they are getting huge.

10. We still don't know what all to get Grayson for his birthday. So far we've gotten and baseball bat, ball and tee and a Spongebob movie. The kid already has everything.
