Yes, it has been three years since I've been on here. I almost feel silly adding a new post, because is anyone left out there?

Our camera broke right before Christmas, and I'm really all about the blogs with photos to match. And I got really busy. Did you notice? But this picture was taken on Terry's beloved iphone a few days ago and I couldn't resist.

Taylor tells jokes now. They make ZERO sense, like why does the Mary Kathryn climb the tree? Why, Taylor? Because, the PIG was in the TREE!!! And then he produces this fake laugh for a few minutes. It's not funny, of course, but listening to him tell a joke is. And so I laugh, which makes him laugh harder. And encourages him. (today Aidan told a real joke, which totally caught me by surprise, but that's for a later post)

He also must dress himself each day, now, and he does an incredibly good job. Yesterday, he put a short-sleeved blue shirt with a collar on under an Abercrombie looking gray, long-sleeved shirt. He looked like a cutie little 16 yr old who the girls would like. Terry later said, "Is that one shirt or two? I want to wear that outfit!" We are still working on the potty training--he just doesn't seem to care much--but on a good day, I put his big boy underpants on, sometimes over his diaper just to get the feel for it. "Diego goes in BACK, Mom!" he says.

When we go to the store without Aidan, he does not want to ride in the cart anymore (that's a horror story with any kid under 3, isn't it?). But he holds onto the side of the cart, sticks right with me, and places the items in the cart.

He's great, and February 2, I register him for next year's preschool. I'm going to enjoy him while I can.
