Could not be more proud

We have had a great weekend. Eric's Christmas party was a huge success and we are still enjoying the leftovers. I am actually debating on whether or not to eat a piece of Red Velvet Cake right now or not... We have not done much all weekend, but it was been wonderful. I got almost all my shopping done.. with the exception of 3 gifts:) It has been really cold, windy, rainy and snowing so other than church this morning we have not gotten out... oh wait.. John Hunter and I made a trip to the local Hobby Lobby.

But the big news.... today John Hunter was playing in Eric's office while he was playing Madden and I was in the kitchen wrapping some presents. John Hunter came in carrying a piece of trash and showing it to me and talking. I watched him as he walked right to the trash can. Opened it up (the trashcan looks like a cabinet) threw the trash away and shut the trashcan. Then he clapped. I have never been so proud. He already knows how to clean up after himself. I was thrilled.

From there it was down hill seeing how we REFUSED to take an afternoon nap. I mean after 45 of SCREAMING in his crib we gave up!!! Oh well...

We don't have too busy of a week. John Hunter has Mom's Day Out Monday and Tuesday and I need to get his teacher gifts, but other than that I don't plan on doing much. Oh wait... the firehouse has an amazing light show and you tune your car radio to a certain station and the music goes along with it... he will LOVE it!

Until next time...

Oh, I'm very proud of him too. Hopefully he'll take after his friend Layni, who picks up after herself and throws things away for her Mommy all the time, and not like his friend Turner, who is much more like a walking tornado. :)

Actually I will tell you that the most wonderful step is when they start putting their dishes in the sink and throwing napkins away after meals. I've got 1 down and 1 to go on that.
