Savvy Toddler Mom

I am thrilled to announce that as of a week and a half ago, the toot has graduated from diapers.  Yay!!!!  He’s been potty-trained for almost a year, just not at night.  So, he’s been wearing pull-ups at night… until week before last!  He had been able to keep his “big boy diaper” dry for two weeks straight and I finally convinced him to just wear his “big boy pants” to bed instead.  Bam!  That was that.

He has had a couple of accidents since — too much to drink before bed once and the other time was my fault (I forgot to have him go to the bathroom before bed) — but I know it won’t be long until even that is a thing of the past.

Hurrah!  No more diapers for the toot!  Congrats, little man.  I can’t believe how fast you are growing up!

Today SavvyDad and I celebrated our 10th anniversary.  Wow, 10 years.  It feels like it’s been ten years…. but really the last five feel like they’ve lasted ten and the first five flew by in a blur.

SavvyDad and I have been through a lot the last ten (and especially the last five) years.  I cannot imagine anyone else that I could have survived those experiences with.  Today I celebrate him: his dedication, his love, his loyalty, his hard work, and his endurance.  Thank you, sweetheart, for being my friend, my lover, and my companion.

 Just for fun, here are some glimpses of our early years:

Fun wedding photo.

One of my favorite wedding photos… there we go, off on our adventure together.

At Rainbow Bridge in 2000 — still newlyweds and loving it!

SavvyDad graduated from college in our third year of marriage.  (I know, I hate my hair too.)

In 2004, we welcomed our little boy, the toot, into our family. He is the light of our lives.
