time marches on

Wow. Where has the time gone. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve 2010. In 6 weeks or so, we will have a third child. Crazy. We opened presents with our small family tonight. Bennett got a farm set with a Dodge Ram and a livestock trailer and a car that follows any line you draw. Brooklyn got a Cinderella Barbie with a horse and her own farm set. They were both super excited. Kurt and I didn't give each other anything. That is ok with me. Merry Christmas to all!

bike basket equality

Brooklyn received a basket for her bike for her third birthday. It is a princess one and it came with streamers and a bell. She loves it. I have been looking for a basket for Bennett and it appears to me there are none for boys. What is up with that? A little sexist maybe? Boys love to haul things around, too. I wonder who I can email and complain to. I shall do some research and send a strongly worded letter.

Toddler Bed

Tomorrow I am moving Brooklyn into a toddler bed. I hope it goes well for sleeping and that she will stay in her bed when we put her to bed at night. She is very excited about it. I told her she could sleep in her toddler bed when she started going potty all the time and wearing panties. So now I have to follow through. Not sure where I am going to store the crib yet though??
