Since I actually have a day off, I'll take a few moments to "blog." Mark just upgraded to his new "big boy bed." So far, so good. All this means is since we got the crib from IKEA that can change into a toddler bed, we took off the rails so he can crawl in and out of his bed easily. He's been able to climb out of the crib for a while, but didn't show a tremondous interest in escaping, so we didn't worry about changing it to a bed. But when we were at Toys 'R Us and they let us have their "Handy Manny" toddler bedding set for $8.00, we took it. They had actually sold out of the sheets already, but we convinced them to give us the display sheets. So after carefully washing the sheets, Mark's been sleeping in his "new" bed! He looks so cute and he seems proud of it. It did take some extra convincing to take a nap today, and an extra cup of milk, but he finally went down for his nap.

I've been dusting and vacuuming, and wanted a break, so that's why I'm here. But Mark and I went to Craig's work today to have lunch with him and Mark sang "The Eyes of Texas" perfectly for him! He also loves "Duh duh duh" which is the Texas fight song without the words. It's so cute to hear him sing it because he really tries to hit the right notes. He definitely has some musical tone. I think he's got music in his blood.

And we love putting Mark to work by emptying the dishwasher. He did break a dish the other day. :-( But, it's still nice to have him reach down and grab the non-sharp items from the dishwasher and hand them to you. It really helps relieve stress on your back from leaning over. I just make sure to take the knives out of the dishwasher first because otherwise I have a panic attack when he reaches for the knife.

Well, I'd better get back to cleaning the house and folding clothes. Otherwise, I'll have no time to catch up on my household chores when I go back to work. :-)
