It's 2010!

happy new year, everyone! i've been so bad about posting on my blog lately. there's just no time lately! we've been so busy. i miss it though. here's a quick wrap-up of what we've been up to....

Christmas was great this year. Caleb loved the tree and took every opportunity he had to grab an ornament off of it and hurl it across the room (thank goodness for shatterproof ornaments!). we spent Christmas eve at my grandma's house eating a HUGE spread of homecooked food. she really outdid herself! it was a lot of fun. Chrismas day was spent between home, papa/grammy's house and papa/nema's house. Caleb was such a good boy all year that Santa brought him a ton of presents. it was so much fun watching him rip open the gifts. he is so not a baby anymore. he is such a big boy.

as a matter of fact, he is such a big boy now that he doesn't need diapers anymore! his last diaper day was Christmas day. a friend recommended the 3-day-potty-training method so i gave it a try. it says that 22 months is the perfect age to potty train so i figured that since i had some time between semesters i would try it. it was a brutal 3 days but it worked! he is doing so good. he even wakes up dry almost every morning (he usually will wake up once in the middle of the night and i put him on the potty). he still has accidents at times but that's to be expected, he just learned after all. we're still working on pooping in the potty every time but this morning he came running in the room yelling "POTTY! POTTY!". we ran to the bathroom and i said "pee or poop?" he said "POOP!" and poop it was. a lot of it --- in the potty!!! i am so proud of him. it amazes me that he is out of diapers.

as for me, i got an A in my psych class. yay! now i'm taking a short term chemistry class on M-TH for 4.5 hours a day. my brain is WORKED by the end of the day (class gets out at noon). my mom watches Caleb on mondays (mom has mondays off) and my dad has him on tues-thurs. i miss him so much when i'm gone. i can't wait to see him when i get home. i just keep telling myself that it's only for a few weeks. next semester won't require so much time away from my boy.

that's all for now... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
