Past few days ...

Life has been pretty normal since last I posted. I am continuing to enjoy hanging out with my neighbors and their kids after work and trying to get Lucas to eat some dinner. The nights FLY by. This is a picture of Aiden and Lucas ... Aiden is about the cutest boy ever. He loves to dress up and so Lucas had to do it too. They played like this all night ... Monday night I think it was. First time I met Aiden was last year, and to this day a typical outfit for him is shorts, yellow rainboots, dress shirt and tie. Cracks me up.

Gary took Luke and I to "Mid Ohio". It's an Indy Race or something ... Not real sure. But, Lucas loved watching the cars go by at 100s of miles per hour. Gary shared with me stories of him and his buddies riding there on their motorcycles. I'm glad those days are behind him ... somewhat. He is on the market for a Harley ...

The past few days, Lucas has been going to the bathroom in his pull up at night. I was just about ready to take away the pull up all together at night, but now I don't know what to do. And, it makes me mad at him. But, I'm not sure if I should punish him or not for it. He is going #2 in the pull up! I mean, what is up w/ that?! I tell him I'm very dissapointed that he does this and he says "Please dont' be dissapointed in my Mommy. Be happy with me! I won't do it again." And, sure enough he did it again this morning. My neighbors told me that I shouldn't use the word "lie" with him because it has a negative connotation and he wont' understand it. But, dangit, he is flat out lying when he says he won't do it again.

Anyhow, I need this work day to end so I can go get his rotten butt. One last thing, I added up the cost of daycare by the time Luke gets into kindergarten, and I will have spent a little over $40,000 dollars. Excuse while I go get sick in the bathroom ...
