Bits and Pieces

It's been awhile since I have blogged. I think it is a combination of not taking a lot of pictures lately to post, feeling like there is not enough time in the week to get things done, as well as preparing for a close friend's Florida bachelorette weekend (this past weekend) and upcoming wedding (one month from today!!) The bachelorette weekend was a ton of fun - you never know how it will go when you have 12 girls traveling together, but it could not have been a more successful weekend! Perfect weather, perfect company, TONS of laughs, lots of drinks and a permanent stomache from laughing. And thanks to my wonderful husband for letting me go and holding down the fort at home while I was away :)

So this post will just be a random collection of happenings with Ryan over the past few weeks

• I was hesitant to post about this too soon and jinx it, but Ryan is FULLY potty trained. Not only that, he basically potty trained himself. He has now been in underwear for a few weeks and has not had one accident. He sleeps in a pull up at night and has woken up with a dry pull up almost every night (with the exception of last night). I am so so proud of him!! I was not going to aggressively potty train until this summer but now I don't have to! I can honestly say I never thought he would be fully trained at 2 1/2!
• This weekend, randomly, Ryan looked at Tim and said "I am so proud of you!" For what, we're not exactly sure!
• Yesterday when I picked Ryan up at school, I stood there and watched him "cook" in the play kitchen with his friend Olivia for a few minutes before he knew I was there. I heard him tell her he didn't want milk, he wanted orange juice. It was adorable to watch them play and interact and then when we left and I told him to say goodbye, he waved and said "Bye Olivia!" As we walked out the door, another little girl said "Bye Ryan Doody!"
• Ryan's new favorite show to watch in the morning before we go to school is Handy Manny. One of the characters is named Mr. Loparte, but Ryan calls him "Mr. Little Parts." This makes me laugh every time he says it!
