Looking Forward To.....

As I sit here at work thinking about my Lil Man, I'm also thinking about the things that I'm looking forward to (whether I'll admit to them or not) this year with him.

On Thursday, Kyler will have his first dentist appointment. He LOVES brushing his teeth, so I'm not concerned with that. I just hope he doesn't bite the dentist like he does when we look in his mouth. We've been trying to get him used to people looking in there and messing with his teeth. But they have the cool tools that we don't.

This weekend Kyler gets to have his 2nd slumber party with Gramma. This time his cousin Buddy Roe gets to join them! They are going to wear Gramma down. She'll need her sleep on Sunday. This is the 2nd time that I'll be away from him since he was born. The 1st time was also at Gramma's house the night he turned 1.

Then next week he will be 18 Months Old..that's a year and a half old! WHAT?~ already! Then a "short" 6 months later he will be 2 Years Old.. wait..what am I doing to myself. HAHA So I guess this means that we'll have to start thinking about where to have his 2nd birthday party and yes this year where ever it is..it'll be INSIDE so we're not melting everywhere.

He is getting to go to his very 1st hockey game next weekend! He and my Mom have not been to one yet and I'm really hoping they both enjoy it. This one is extra special as its cops vs firemen in the opening and the proceeds are going for a great cause.

I'm looking forward to us going to Sea World and Busch Gardens (a vacation trip we got from my Mommy for Christmas--THANK YOU!!). And we might as well throw in Disney World, because I've been wanting to take Chris there for so long since he's NEVER been!

I'm also looking forward to taking Kyler to swim lessons. I know the water bug should have gotten them last year, but he will definitely get them this year. He LOVES swimming and bath time -- anything to do with the water.

For myself, I have joined the gym at work and I have all plans to become a better/ happier/ healthier me! In return a better me = a better Mommy/ wife/ daughter/ co-worker/ friend/ sister- SIL.

I am looking forward to watching my Lil Man learn and grow (even if I don't want him to) and develop into his own self..what will he like / dislike, what will be his favorite TV shows or cartoon character, favorite book(s) to read (he loves soo many of them now), will his favorite foods change or stay the same, what will he start saying and wanting more of, which will be his favorite toys, etc.

I look forward to more family time and all the fun stuff this year will bring!

~Lots of Love to my Lil Man.
