Our little cookie monster

Today, unlike most days, I woke up and things were running smoothly. Sawyer woke up a little early, but he was in a good mood and cooperative. I actually had time to fix my hair and put on makeup, which is a rare occurance these days! I was feeling really good as I loaded him in the car and we headed into town, ahead of schedule. He wanted to eat crackers on the way to the sitter's so I gave him some. Next thing I know I hear loud crunching sounds and giggling. I turn around to see Sawyer holding his cracker with both hands and crushing it into his mouth like Cookie Monster eats cookies. He was having a blast and cracker crumbs were flying everywhere. By the time we got to the sitters there were crumbs all over the back seat, in his hair, in my hair, covering his face and clothes, and all over the floor. He thought it was great! I was not quite as amused, but still got a little chuckle out of it. We took some time to clean him up before taking him inside, but he was still a mess when his sitter saw him. She gave him a "wiper" bath and he was good to go. My car, on the other hand, took a little more work. I got myself and my car presentable again and headed into work, 30 minutes late. Ugh! The funny thing is that I just got a text message from his sitter saying "Sawyer is running around in his daiper while his clothes are in the wash. He ate lunch like a cookie monster too!" ha ha ha ha ha, all I can do is laugh at my little buddy! :)

Surprise!

Last weekend we had a fun little surprise party for my Dad's 60th birthday. There was a great turnout and he had so much fun telling stories and reminiscing. It was such an honoring and special time!

2 is coming fast!

Wow, I am amazed at the fact that my baby is turning 2 next month! I am also amazed at the fact that he is potty training himself without us even trying! He has gone multiple times on the potty and last night he went in there and tried to go without my help...what a big boy! :)

Now there is a part of 2 that I am not looking forward to, the terrible part. We have seen a glimpse of that a few times recently, hopefully he is just teasing us (as my aunt Becky said)!

Here is a picture of Sawyer being a big boy. He got a book off my shelf and took it with him to the potty, a study on finding God's purpose for your life, ha ha!
