Goodbye Diapers, Hello Claire

We have finally finished off all the diapers in the house. Of course, now that I write this I will probably find a pack somewhere. That's what happened last week when I thought I was done and then found 20 more in a spare diaper bag in the car. Anyway, we're ready to move Ryan to pull ups so that he can start working on that skill before he has to learn the potty part. He's actually pretty excited about it. But when I asked him today if he wanted to use the potty tomorrow he said 'Noooo', in this long drawn out way of saying it that he's been doing for the last few days. So I'm trying to talk the 'big boy' stuff up now. As far as I'm concerned this is the last major 'big boy' step until school starts. I'm waiting for a time when we don't have anything planned for a few days so we can sit around here and drink water and eat pretzels all day long. Looks like that will be in about 2 weeks as we are full next week.

Ryan and I joined a gym yesterday. I'm pretty excited, but I wish my mind would not think of it in terms of 'what extra food I can eat'. We signed up and worked out yesterday (me not Ryan). Today, we went and Ryan played in the play area while I worked out and then we went swimming together. Ryan had a great time. Later, we went to the park since it's 50 degrees here, and took a long walk. I will be amazed if he doesn't sleep until 10 tomorrow with all the activity. Of course, when I ask him what he liked most about the day he says it was being with Momma! How cute.


On a great note, my friend Sarah had her baby, Claire. She was 6 days late and did a VBAC - so I'm very proud of her as I'm hoping for one this time. Claire was born on 1/7/08 at 6:54. She was 8lb, 7.5 oz and 21 inches long. She joins her brother Max, who is one of Ryan's good friends out here. Here is her picture.
