This post is very late. Friday is actually a horrible day for me to blog. So I missed last week entirely and this week ... I decided that late was better than never. That said: on to the favorites!
1. Soren didn't wet the bed at all last week. That is HUGE.
2. He has figured out that he can get out of bed to go to the potty whenever he needs/wants. On Monday night, a friend came over to play games after the kids went to bed. Soren got up to "use the toilet" every five minutes so that he could see what was up. He would just stand there, pants down, leaning over the toilet, and watching the game for as long as he could get away with. Then I would send him back to bed ... until the next time he "needed to pee". It made me laugh.
3. Michelle and I exercised five days in a row this week! I am feeling pretty good. Sherise joined us halfway through the week, which we have been trying to convince her to do for weeks now. I was hoping that a new-comer would make me feel good about my increased strength but the opposite happened. Sherise is tough!
4. I started bathing the kids in the morning this week. They haven't left the house with their faces coated in dried oatmeal all week! I consider that a major mom victory.
5. I have been noticing this week how social Carl is. He is naturally polite and friendly, which is wonderful to see. I especially noticed it when Owen came to play on Tuesday. Carl greeted him at the door with a big smile and said, "Owen! Come in! Would you like to have breakfast with us?"
6. Soren and I finished reading a chapter book this week! We read, Homer Price and it was absolutely charming. Now we are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which Soren likes even better.
7. Friday night we hosted a murder mystery party and it was a huge success. One of the couples were playing the only teenagers and they came dressed up as punks. They acted their role perfectly and really cracked me up. Actually, everyone was really great. We have the coolest friends!
8. For date night on Wednesday, Scott and I went to Subway for the tail-end of their February Footlong deal, then sat around the kitchen table doing our finances. It reminded me of our Honeymoon, when we ate at Subway 2 times a day all week long! But really, the best part was the finances. Life doesn't get much better than that, I tell you.
9. Oh! And Scott found out that he is accepted to the University of Utah's PhD program, contingent upon him finishing his masters. Which he definitely will. So he's in the PhD program! And we'll be here for about three more years. We actually had the realization that we will probably read The Hobbit as a bedtime story for the boys in this apartment. Crazy.
