As you all know, I get to work from home and keep Brayden with me all day. 99% of the time this a pure joy. 1% (some days more) of the time it is kinda difficult..especially since he became mobile. Its worked out really well because I have him fenced off to only go into the living room and my office. I have been really concerned how the Christmas tree arrangement would work since it goes behind the couch. Well I bought this HUGE baby "corral" and I can fence off the tree. I was so focused on keeping him fenced off from the tree this morning that I forgot to close 2 doors...the one to his room and the one to Matt's bathroom. How did I come to discover this??? Well I could hear him oohhing and aahhing and being completely pleased. I "thought" that he was watching his favorite show Blue's Clues. Those are the typical sounds that he makes when he watches his show. But then...there was splashing... It took a second for that sound to process in my mind and sink in before I screamed..."OH NO..." Yup, he was playing in the toilet water! Ugh! All I can say is thank goodness it was flushed. He was having the time of his life and I was mortified! He's all scrubbed down now and I learned my lesson :)
Now on to a short update... Brayden is now waving bye-bye. He doesn't actually do it to anyone or on cue. He does it while he's eating. I guess it's bye-bye to the grub?!? He took a step to me on Saturday night, but nothing since then. It's getting close.
Natalie is just going out of her mind since we STILL haven't gone to see the new Harry Potter. I've promised her that we will go, just not exactly sure when yet. Still no sports yet. Sign ups for softball will be in January sometime. For now it's art only and she's just loving it!
Matthew is counting the days till his next b-ball practice. He told me last night "Mom, just 2 more days..." This being out of the blue I said "just 2 more days till what buddy?". He replied quite enthused "Just 2 more days till practice!"
Gotta run. Hope you all have a great week!

You go Brayden. A little toilet water never hurt anyone. When you were about three we did work at the church and so did a lot of other people our age. We all brought our children with us. Well one night we heard this gosh awful screaming coming from the mens restroom. Dad and I went running to see what was happening. There is Jason Dean sitting in the mens urnale and Miss Angelina flushing it. We sure did get a good laugh at some other parents horror.
Mason never "played" in the toilet - just once at Momma's house he had his own brush that he would brush his hair with while she brushed her's -- Well she brushed her head and walked out of the bathroom and she turned around after a minute and went back into the bathroom when she realized that he was there -- he was dipping the brush in the toilet and then brushing his hair -- he had toilet water running down his face and he thought it was great!!! Hahahah gotta love it
