Lately

•Garrett graduated from preschool.

•The boys have finished their Mother's Day Out program for the year. It's hard to believe Garrett has been going there every year since he was 2.

•Garrett pulled down the curtains in his bedroom the other day. Today he broke the hinge on our hallway cabinet. I wish I could say that he just happened to be touching these things when they broke, but he's a boy. And he can be rough. And I will confess to more yelling on my part than is probably ok after both of these situations.

•Cooper has been sleeping in his big boy bed for a week now and it's going great! I'm a bit OCD when it comes to this sort of thing. I've turned the doorknob on his door with the lock on the outside and a door knob cover on the inside. I also put a cover on the closet door handle. I put a latch on his toy box and I put his other toy baskets into his closet and shut the door before he takes a nap and goes to bed at night. That way he has no toys luring him to play rather than sleep. He does have some stuffed animals that he sleeps with though. And there are some books and puzzles out too.

•My braces were put on yesterday. Eating while wearing braces can only be the equivalent of having a mouthful of rocks and knives with a little food thrown in the mix. Half of the food goes down your throat and the other half ends up in your braces. Good times! I'm mostly sticking to a milkshake/pudding diet right now. Next fall cannot get here fast enough.

•Keith took my SUV in to get new tires last week. They scratched up the rims on it very nicely so now my SUV is sitting on jack stands in the garage while the scratched up rims and brand new tires are getting redone courtesy of the tire shop. It's always a good time when you go from 2 vehicles down to 1.

•I'm putting together plans for Cooper's birthday. It's hard to believe he turns 2 next month!

•I redid our hall bathroom into a surfboard theme. I'm really liking it! I thought it was cute for 2 boys and will hopefully not be deemed babyish by them a few years from now.

That's great that Cooper is doing well in a big boy bed! It's always a relief when they make that step and it goes smoothly.

Your braces discription is hilarious! :) The bathroom sounds cool and Cooper sleeping in his big boy bed is great! Can't believe I don't have any grandbabies in cribs right now! Just 3 wks and Cooper will be 2. Crazy!
