10 on Tuesday

1) Carter’s new big boy bed is underway. Josh has put together the blue print for it and will start building it tomorrow.

2) It is official – Carter is now peeing in the potty standing up. We will be calling in my dad here soon to repaint the bathroom wall, as it has had its fair share of splats. Thank goodness for Clorox Anywhere!

3) The transition to the new school is going… slowly. Lil’ dude is not huge on change. We are taking it one day at a time. I’m dreading the day I have to do drop off.

4) I’m pretty sure Carter is going to be a Fireman (like Mr. Tom) for Halloween this year. We’ve tried on several costumes – and he is gravitating to his norm.

5) In less than two weeks we’ll be heading to NY & MA. I am super excited to see friends and family. It will be Carter’s 1st airplane ride and he is stoked!

6) We attended a neighborhood BBQ this past weekend and met quite a lot of folks with kids… very refreshing. Without a neighborhood pool, we weren’t quite sure how we’d meet people.

7) For those that haven’t heard – we are having a GIRL. Carter seems to be accepting the news very well. He kisses his baby sister every night before bed. Even gives her knuckle bumps and high fives. Too cute.

8) Carter has completed Aquatots Level 1 & 2 @ Triangle Swim School. Level 3 starts in two weeks. He is really enjoying it and learning a lot. Josh’s parents were lucky enough to attend a session recently – I have lots of pictures I’ll be sharing soon!

9) Don’t freak out… there are only 71 days until Christmas! Auggghhhh…..

10) If you haven’t noticed yet, I have a baby-gaga ticker at the bottom of the blog. It is fun to read weekly to see how we are progressing.
