Santa's coming to town

Haven't posted in about a week. This past week has been busy but uneventful. Everyday except for last Sunday. That was Tootie's official 2nd birthday. It was just me & the kids. I took Tootie to IHOP for a birthday breakfast. Then I took them to the Wild Animal Park. I got season passes that are good for the SD Zoo & the Wild Animal Park. Tootie's been to the Zoo a couple times this year, but hasn't been to the WAP in a while. I might take the kids back there in the evening before Christmas to see all their holiday lights. Later that night I took them to the holiday light show on base. There were tons of give aways. There was even a little train ride for kiddies. Tootie rode it twice & I had to peel him away from the line.

Monday he had his 2 year check up. He's now up to the 25th percentile for weight & height. Nothing wrong with that. He's a small boy. He eats just about everything but he's so active. He's starting to talk more & more every day. He has about 30 words & 8 phrases. His favorite words are "mine", "no", & "bad". Potty training has been going good. Kinda driving me nuts going to the bathroom like every 20 or so minutes but I understand his bladder doesn't hold much yet. I do think, though, at the slightest feeling he is going. I've been letting him run around free & he makes it every time. When he naps he wears plastic underwear & bedtime he gets a pull-up. He's even dropping the Cosby kids off at the pool!! Now to get him to wear big boy undies & not get distracted when he needs to go.

We had another raining Friday here. Turned the sprinklers off again until we dry out.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Various errands and a spouses meeting, but in the morning we are going to go have breakfast with Santa! I've been talking to Tootie about Santa. I'm hoping we don't have a freak out repeat of the Easter bunny. He seems to be getting excited about the holidays. Every time he sees a Christmas tree or Santa on TV or in a magazine of mine or in one of his books he gets excited & points.

Well I need to get going. I have a few things I need to do before tomorrow.
