New Year, New Me?

Well, I thought the Countdown to Christmas would get me hooked on blogging but it didn't.  Guess I enjoyed having a break from it and just reading other blogs.  (I'm still trying to win something on Pioneer Woman but probably never will with a 100,000+ other people trying.)  

I really didn't make any New Year's resolution, but I did stop drinking sodas a couple of weeks ago.  I thought I could hold out but I think I'm eating more because I don't get a daily Dt Coke.  Probably just need to kick off a new exercise routine for the stress eating.  Robert has been really stressed out at work which I think I'm getting "sympathy stress."  He's trying to get is Reactor Operator license after being in class for the past 13 months.  It should all be over in the next two weeks. I can't wait.  But no one is as anxious to get it done as my husband.  

Chase moved up in Church nursery and in his day care class.  His new class at day care is more like a preschool class with daily lesson plans and everything.  He has struggled being dropped off now though, not really b/c of his new class but b/c the kids play in the big playroom until 8:30.  He's always disliked the playroom for some reason, at first he was scared of the mounted TV (or as Chase calls it: wee-wee) but he's used to the TV now.  He especially hates it if a lot of the big kids are in there.  I guess he's just intimidated.  Robert took him to school on Friday morning and got to experience the little fits when he has to go in there.  He found it funny though that the door was open to the playroom and two girls were waiting and calling Chase's name, but he still didn't want to go in.  Maybe he doesn't like having so many girlfriends....

Chase got a new potty the other day so we could just have it in the bathroom when he was ready.  He immediately wanted to sit on it, but he had to strip down.  And then he actually peed in it!! I was shocked.  He then needed a bath and wanted to take it in the tub too.  After a very short bath, he went back to the potty.  He sat a while and then grabbed one of Daddy's hunting magazines and proceeded to "read" while he peed again!! He was there a while, and I grabbed the camera.  I think we need to send a pic to the Ducks Unlimited site.

Can't believe he's about to be 2!!  Where did my "baby" go??
