I’ve been in denial for a month or so that my sweet baby boy could be turning two. But it happened today. And I didn’t die. But I was sad.
The funny thing is that I think Carson knew I didn’t want him to turn two because the past couple of days if you ask him how old he’s going to be, he’d point one finger and say “uhn”. We’d tell him no – he was going to be two! and show him two fingers.
Then he’d say NO!!!! and tell us “uhn” with one finger. It was a pretty funny game. …

Work Outing
My neighbor had this really fun idea that we should do this wacky workout video thing for thirty straight days and while she missed one day so far (something about running a race made her unable to do day 13), I’ve been able to keep up the streak…and today was day 20. Tomorrow starts the last third of the challenge – with level 3 – and the end is in sight. We get to have a fun night out as a reward for completing the challenge.
Amy & I usually meet up before work at 5am to get it over with …
Carson the Monkey
Love Carson’s new animal sound.
The Baby Boys
My sister & her husband had stuff going on yesterday so I was supposed to watch Lauren & Cameron for the day. Mallory & Lauren were excited to have a whole day together.
When my mom got here with all four of Emily’s kids (Shane was headed to a friend’s house for the afternoon, and my mom was going to take Liam) – Lauren & Mallory decided they wanted to go shopping with my mom & Liam, which left me with just the two baby boys – Carson and 8-mo old Cameron.
I almost had to call in reinforcements to help hold …
Green Day
Be sure you see the videos at the bottom of this post…
I’m a little slow on the “have fun and make everything green” uptake for St Patrick’s Day. Reading about how other families have leprechauns wreaking havoc on their house for St Patty’s Day – I need someone to remind me next March 13-ish that I want to do that, K?
But I had fun with our St Patrick’s Day dinner! I wasn’t sure how green food coloring + orange mac & cheese would turn out, but lucky for me green food coloring is dominant.
Mallory drank her green milk too fast …
23 Months
We are just over three weeks away from my baby boy’s second birthday. My baby is almost TWO! I can’t even begin to talk about how sad it makes me. Every day that he learns something new – like walking down steps and not wanting/needing to hold my hand – means he’s that much father away from being my baby.
So even though it makes me super sad, I still laugh at him a lot. He will sit and read books now – last weekend he was perched in his sister’s pink beanbag, “reading” his Wolverine book.
Last night I recorded us …
Chocolate
The resort last week had a Kids Club – and while Mallory & Lauren only visited it for about an hour one day, they still enjoyed the nightly show that the Kids Club put on. There were usually a bunch of dances and games, and one of the songs totally got stuck in my head. I asked the Kids Club lady to teach it to us the day we left and she was a great sport and let us record her doing the dance.
I found the song on iTunes, and ended up finding the dance on Youtube (this video is …

A little Carson video for your viewing pleasure.
You’ll hear his “OH!” late in the video…
Move it
Mallory has been singing (and dancing to) “I like to move it, move it” for a couple of months – apparently they listen to it sometimes at school, and Mallory & Allison always go to town.
Mallory got the movie Madagascar from Santa and has repeatedly requested that we play the music video special feature of the song. Today she told me to go back in the bathroom so I wouldn’t be able to see her, and so I did what any self-respecting mom would do – I grabbed the camera so I could secretly record her dancing (it takes about 10 seconds …
