Just catching up

So its been forever since we had a post and I just wanted to update you on a few recent things.
Life is in a pretty normal pattern with us, that is to say constantly up and down. I guess its normal behavior for a two-year-old to be a fun perfect kid one moment and a whinny crier the next. It's hard to tell what might set him off.

But when he's good he's very very good. Last night we had grilled salmon, rice, and spinach salad for dinner. He cleaned his plate. I showed him how to put a blueberry on a spinach leaf and eat them together. He didn't complain once. In fact he said it was good. After he finished dinner we had the rest of the cupcakes left over from our anniversary. (i came home from work Monday to find Mac and Doug with flowers and cupcakes, what more can a girl ask for?) In the middle of eating his cupcake he found a leftover piece of spinach and went ahead and ate that too.
The dessert was a little messy and Doug asked him what we do after eating cupcakes. He said "take a bath"
My favorite part of the evening though was after bathtime. Doug asked him if he was a girl or a boy. With a sly grin he said girl. Mac thought it was hilarious that it was irritating Doug so he just kept saying he was a girl. We finally got him to admit he was a boy because Doug wouldn't let him watch Buzz and Woody until he said it right. If he already has Doug's number like that heaven help us when he gets to be a teenager.

Happy Birthday America

We had a great time celebrating July 4th - a visit from Jessica and Eric, first Peachtree Road Race, grilling out, and fireworks. Mac may not completely understand the meaning of July 4th but he sure got into the spirit when it came time to eat! He especially loved the corn on the cob.

You should see the other guy...

Mac had a little incident at school yesterday. He and a friend were playing trucks and he somehow ended up with carpet burn on his face. Little boys...who knows?  He got ice though so he was totally cool with it. Besides he loves having a boo boo to talk about.
