Matt and I have been able to go out on a few dates lately thanks to our new babysitting exchange! It is working out lovely. We got to see "Wicked" and "Joseph and the Technicolor Dream-coat." Both plays were great! Evenings out with the kids without them crying about it are fabulous and not having to pay a babysitter is even better.
I had a birthday shout hooray! It was an uneventful day as it was a Sunday but Matt took care of the kids and did all the cooking and cleaning. What more could I ask for? I even got my birthday wish from last year which was to eat all 3 meals sitting down! My friend Amy came through for Matt because he forgot about a cake! She whipped one up and we shared dessert with their family that evening. It was delicious. A couple of girlfriends and I went out to dinner and had a reflexology massage during the week. It was a very crazy experience. Sometimes it hurt like the dickens, but afterwards it just felt good!
Ethan's favorite phrase of the moment is "I do it myself" Yes folks, he is 2! We went and bought him a potty and he loves to go on it. Afterwards we can't get him to put back on his diaper but who doesn't love a little nakey time.
Cole can do many new things now because he is 4! That includes feeding himself dinner (yes, most kids can already do that, but food is still an issue), getting himself dressed and he can do flips on the tramp. Thank goodness he is so grown up.
We are surviving without Matt for the most part. The first couple of weeks were a little rough, but we are getting used to it. I find that Saturdays are the hardest but hey, we only have 1 year and 10 months to go. I will be earning an honorary MBA as I edit and help with assignments. Too bad I can't throw that on my resume.
