so funny!

I find my son to be hilarious! I am sure some people get tired of me telling stories about things he does, but he is just so dang cute! I have decided Brenan thinks that we eat out a lot. When we go through a drive through, he just can't deal with having to wait for the people in front of him to get their turn. He tells them go "go people" and "out the way". Usually he only gets this way when he is really hungry or tired, but its still a little embarassing. We were stopped at a stop light and he told me he wanted his window down. I rolled it down for him and he was looking at the car next to us, it had some girls in it, so he was fascinated because he is a major flirt! What he started doing next had me laughing so hard that I almost missed the light when it turned green! I had tears rolling down my face. He leaned over to the window and started hollering out. He said "chicken, fies, chocamilk"... he was ordering lunch!! Apparently, he thinks when we eat out that I just yell what I want out the window and someone gives it to me. Oh, if only this world worked that way...

kodak camera

this thing is totally ticking me off today. I have about 30 pictures on there that I wanted to put onto the computer so I could post some of them, and so I could play with the editing instead of always going to WalMart to print them. The only ones that will show up when I try to add the pictures to the album are the ones that are on the internal memory of the camera, not the ones on the memory card. They show up as being there, but there isn't a picture, just a little X in a box. I tried to upload them anyway, and then I get told that the file wasn't there or was damaged. I can look at them in review mode on the camera, but I can't get them onto the computer. Don't know if its the camera, the memory card, or the computer, but I am getting a little frustrated!

first accident

So far Brenan has been doing really well with the potty training. He tells me when he needs to go, then he runs in the bathroom and pulls down his pants and puts his stool up to the toilet so he can get on. He has been in big kid underwear for a few days, instead of pull ups, even when we leave the house and has had no problems. Today, just a few minutes ago, he came walking - waddling - into the computer room and said, "peed mama". He was walking really funny so I had to laugh, but he didn't think it was funny. He waddled into the bathroom, trying not to get his legs wet from touching his pants. I followed him in there, and helped him out of his wet and pooped in underwear. After I got him cleaned off, he insisted he needed to pee again, so he got on and he actually did have some left.... lol, I think the poo in there freaked him out a little. We got him all clean, put new underwear on him, and he says "sorry messy, mama". He looked like he really thought he was in trouble. I just told him it was ok, that everybody had accidents, but when he needed to go again that he needed to tell me. He hugged me and ran out of the bathroom, all happy again.

Trying to decide..

Everyone keeps asking me if I know what I am having yet. I won't be far enough along for an ultrasound until my next appt, on the 1st of May. Hubby says he doesn't care if we find out or not, that it's up to me. I would like to know, just in case its a girl, so I can prepare a little bit since everything I have clothes wise is boy stuff.. but I am really not sure I want to know, if that makes any sense. Also, if its another boy, I have to get serious about finding a name for him. We used the only one we both agreed on with Brenan, so I have no ideas for another boy name. We have tossed a few around, but not really anything we both love. Brenan still insists he is naming the baby Knight, and I would be ok with using that as the middle name if we could come up with something for the first name that sounded ok with it. I asked Brenan if he would love it just as much if it was a baby sister, and he said no. Of course, I know he would, he has always loved all babies, but is especially fond of girls. He will love it no matter what, but I wonder if it would be better if he knew ahead of time, even though he is only 2 and really wouldn't know much of a difference. So, I am in limbo. I want to know, but at the same time I am not sure I REALLY want to know. I guess I have a couple weeks to try to figure it out... so when I schedule my ultrasound, I will know what to tell them when they ask if I want to know or not... what a decision...

Our trip..

So, even though we don't really have extra money to do very much lately, we decided we had to get out of town and go do something... anything.. to just let ourselves relax a little bit. We went to Salt Lake on Friday and went to a play off Grizzly hockey game. They lost really badly, but it was still fun. It was Brenans first game in real life, and he had a blast. He was running around and yelling at the players to "go" "shoot" and "get him"... lol. It was so much fun to watch him. He would jump up and down and cheer for them, even though he really doesn't know what they are doing yet. He was flirting with the girls around us, and the guy in front of us was feeding him popcorn, so he had a lot of fun. Then we went back to the hotel and he got to watch TV for a while before going to sleep. It was way past his bedtime, but he got in some snuggle time with his dad, so I let it go. On saturday, we got up and went to breakfast. After we got done, we went to Brenans new favorite place. We went to Hogle Zoo! He was really not happy about having to wait in line to get tickets, he wanted to "go see monkey!" Once we got in, he didn't last in his stroller very long.. he got out and was running around everywhere. He hollered "HI" at the animals that he saw, and would wave his hands at the ones that he thought were looking at him. He gives great commentary on what the animals were all doing. I was cracking up all day! He loved the white crocodile... It was hard to get him out of that building! He liked the elephants, was not real impressed with rhinocerus's, and laughed really hard at the penguins. The highlight of his day, I think, was the train ride. He didn't want to get off once we were done. After the train ride, we let him play on the playground for a little bit, then went to get lunch and go home. He was asleep pretty quick once we hit the freeway. All in all it was a great weekend. My only regret was that I forgot to grab the camera on the way out the door, as it was all very spontaneous.
