It's Friday

That is what I'm happy about today.  It's Friday.  And tonight is pizza night, which just makes me happy.  Pizza is so easy to make.  Even easier to clean up (since I put the pizzas directly on the baking rack.  We all like it.  It feels festive.

Tomorrow, hopefully we'll hook up with some good friends in the afternoon.  In the morning, it's MyGym for one of us and a repair man for the other.  Yes, a repair man.  Actually, we think it'll be a replacement man.  Our hot water heater is shit.  It produces hot water for about 5 minutes.  Then immediately stops.  Which is very cold at 4 AM.  Our house is 11 years old and everything in it was builder quality and put in when the house was built.  We fully expect all the appliance to go in the next two years.  Just hopefully not the fridge...not before we've used the frozen breast milk.

Oh, right...and tonight is the first night without the binky.  Poor Bailey.  I can already feel her tears.  She's had two excellent nights...not waking up at all.  It's going to be a rough few nights.  She managed to save the binky for one more week last week when she came down with strep on Friday afternoon.  Nothing will save her now.

She's nearly potty trained too.  But not at home.  At school, she goes on the potty every single time.  Even poop - most of the time.  Seriously, that's cool!!!  But at home, she refuses.  We recently got her the upgraded potty model.  I think she doesn't like the bathroom - and I've offered to move the potty.  She told me the wanted it "on the TV", which I took to mean that she wanted it in front of the TV.  Which isn't going to happen...even if it would make for cute, blackmail pictures.  She's only a month over two, so we're happy with this progress.  Eventually, she'll pee at home too.  

Connor is just sunshine and joy these days.  He's so happy, sleeping 8-9 hours at night and taking short, frequent naps.  He's trying to roll over and acting like he's figuring out how to scoot backwards.  He's a cooing machine - mimicking our mouth movements and tone.  He's constantly got a smile on his face and he has incorporated these big, full-body, breathy laughs into most moments.  He's a dream baby.

It's the weekend.  I'm glad.
