I CAN NOT believe I've done this twice in one week!!! Which, by the way, is the most I've EVER done it... what? You ask...
I left my purse, not once, but TWICE, this week in public places.
#1 Kroger parking lot... in a buggy!!! Could not believe everything was in place... nothing was missing, not even my $30 I had in my wallet! My cards were all there and even all the trash that accumulates in my purse was there!
#2 Pepper's Deli... and again EVERYTHING was there!!
After all of this, all I can say is... THANK YOU, GOD, for the honest people left in this world!!

You know you have a toddler when...
Your precious, perfect baby grows horns and screams "NO" all the time!
Well, not really... at least not the horns thing, but the "NO" thing is in full swing at our house! I really think you do know when everything turns into a struggle... for example... putting on pants; changing a diaper; powder/lotion after bathtime; eating... anything; removing something they don't need to have from their grasps; hitting... the dog, his mommy, his daddy; biting... the dog, his mommy, his daddy; meltdowns between 5 and 6 pm... EVERY DAY; screaming when putting on a coat; screaming when being put into the car seat; doing something they know is wrong and screaming "NO" while doing it!
At least that's what's going on with ours, but while the toddler years brings its challenges, it also brings its wonderful wonderment...
When he's hurt, he wants his mommy and no one else; he calls mommy and daddy by name; he is HILARIOUS!!; he plays fetch with the dog; he has his routine and loves it; has started telling us what he wants (baba, juice, bath, kitty cat); copies everything we do (coughing, sneezing, everything!); flirts (that's right... flirts with any girl that will flirt back); disciplines himself; tells you when he needs changing by bringing you a diaper; is amazed with taking his shoes off... and his socks; wants to be read to; knows that mommy is for cuddling and daddy is for hard core playing; gets excited over things I take for granted (bubbles, hearing his daddy's voice on the phone, just being with me).
The good far outweighs the bad. He is the most amazing little man I've ever known! He's perfect in every way... even though I have looked through his head to see if I could see those horns! ha!

Our Little Mozart...
Not really... but he does LOVE his piano! My dad and Mary (Preston's Papa and Emby) gave him this a while back... he used to just make it play the song itself and dance to the tunes, but now, he sits down and loves to "play" the piano. This day in particular, I bet he sat there for 20 minutes just playing away!! A future prodigy... maybe??I'm a bad, bad blogger!
I am SOOOO sorry about it being so long since my last post! I'm sure I'll be on Santa's bad list because of it! Anyhoo...
Halloween came and went. Preston was a precious lion for us! Since we figured saying "trick or treat" would be out of the question, we taught him to roar... like a lion! But it came out more like RAR!!! The funny thing was that every time he would do it, we applauded him... so much that now, he will roar and immediately start clapping his hands! Here are some pictures from our "roaring" lion at our church's "trunk or treat" and at Mimi and Pop's... with his cousin Leah... on Halloween!
