Things in waves....

There are some weeks that nothing particularly happens..there is a lull, you have your daily events, your routines...and then there are times that THINGS happen all at once. Take this past weekend, yes, Katie's birthday cake turned out great! GREAT, cause she LOVED it and helped to make it. AND that is all that matters. The whole night before, I was lying in bed, trying to think about how to make a DORA on a chocolate icing cake. I was pondering at mixing various icings...you know...just thinking of all the possibilities, to make HER the PERFECT DORA CAKE!  Saturday morning Katie decided that she wanted a ROUND cake...the cake pan was a bunt pan...therefore, all my hard work of thinking went out the window. I found three cake characters from a few years ago(I save everything, you never know) Dora, Boots and Swiper. And since Dora's clothes are orange and pink, they were the colours for the cake as well, so all in all, I think it turned out OK...and Katie was HAPPY!!

Dora, Boots and Swiper!

The second event was that Josh lost his other front tooth! His current theme song is "All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth"....it has been fun getting him to say certain words! He lost his tooth on a mammoth OLIVE! No, there weren't any pits! He also forgot to put the tooth under his pillow! We left it by the coffee maker. That is twice that we have left it by the coffee maker, purely by accident...BUT I think that I have started something new..leave your tooth by the coffee maker, that way the Tooth Fairy can grab a cup of coffee during her flight! She does get tired, and needs a jolt of java. Besides, why do we leave it under the pillow? Do you know HOW hard it is to get the tooth out from under the pillow!!?? Who started this?? And what really is the going rate for a tooth!? We do two dollars! That seems fair, with todays economy and all! I'm glad that Josh hasn't asked too many questions about the Tooth fairy, like where does she live? How does she travel? What is her real name? What does she look like? Is she old or young? I think there could be a story there...

Thirdly...the most eventful is the fact that my LITTLE BABY is now sleeping in the lower part of the bunk bed. He will be 21 months old in a few days. We started him off, more for fun, to see if he would sleep in the bunk bed at nap time. AND he did, no fussing/crying or wanting his crib. Even though his crib was still set up on the other side of the room...quite visible to the little lad! At night, he fell once...and just laid there, stunned! But Mamma saved him!! So today, I took the crib apart and made the lower bunk his BED...and today at nap time, he tried to climb up...he was excited. I have part of the bed blocked, with the back of chair, like a rail, and then his BIG Pooh Bear and a Giraffe....and he is quite comfy and happy! He is HAPPY and my heart is breaking! He is growing up and I am growing OLD! I have waited for YEARS to have kids it seems. Excitedly we did, three of them...and now they are little people. I feel like my BABIES are gone! Do you understand!? I know I still have years with them living in house etc etc...BUT THE CRIB IS DOWN! Just wait till he goes into school...OMG....that will be the END!! LOL!!

No more crib in the BOYS' ROOM!
