Hello Summer!!!

Well, it's been quite a while since I blogged so this is going to be a long catch up with a bunch of random stuff probably. Just warning ya!

Since I last posted I finished the school year which means time for fun for Aidan and I. This summer is the first that we joined the local pool. Aidan is such a water baby. He loves being in the water and really loves that there are other kids to play with/around. Right now our daily routine goal is to be there by 11 and leave around 1:30 so that he can be down for a nap at two. And...my little guy is finally going down for naps awake {not that we tried before!}. Kathy was able to get him to do it a few times in the past month but he isn't as cooperative with us for naps as he is with her, so I didn't expect him to do it. Yesterday and today I told him he could take a book up with him, laid him down, then walked right out and shut the door. He chatted for a bit but within 10 minutes was asleep. I never thought the day of putting him to bed awake, without any crying, would come. Crazy. My little guy is really growing up.

Speaking of growing up, I think I'm going to convert his crib into a toddler bed this week/weekend. It will force me to keep his room clean as well as make that transition to a big boy bed. It should go well since even though he can climb out, he doesn't. Usually he just yells for me to come get him. Either way, I'd rather make the transition now while I'm at home and not working than during the school year. I'll let you know how it goes!

A few other goals: get the house cleaned up, maybe redecorate my bedroom and Aidan's bathroom, lose a few pounds, and develop some sort of cleaning routine.

My thoughts on life right now:
I can't believe how old Aidan is.
Thank goodness for summer!!!
