lil' stinker

HHHHEEEEELLLLPPPP! I am perplexed. mind-boggled. confused. exasperated. and tired, oh yes, I'm tired. ... all right I may be exaggerating just a wee little bit but I am really confused. On our vacation last week(which I promise to post pics of soon) Aidan, for the first time EVER, pee'd the bed!! Of course it was on a comforter that belonged to the bed and breakfast we were staying at, which was very embarassing. But he's never, ever completely wet the bed. Sometimes he has woken up with a teeny bit in his underwear but he wakes up and goes to the bathroom or else cries for me because he's not really awake yet. We have always been impressed that as a 2 1/2 year old he would wake up in the night to go pee.

Well, one night might have been a fluke. We were in a strange place, going to bed at odd hours...but then he did it AGAIN last night!!! Two times in a seven day period? C'mon!! Sooo...what's going on? Is he just sleeping too deep? He's almost four people, as in "in two days Aidan will be four!"

I don't like changing pee sheets in the middle of the night, especially full bladder ones. Why is he not waking up? Should I make him go before I go to bed each night? Is this just random and won't create a pattern? He really doesn't seem bothered by it. I mean, he doesn't like it but in the mornings he is pretty matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

Nathan: Aidan, why did you pee the bed? Why didn't you get up to go in the toilet?

Aidan: Weeeell, the first fing is I don't know. The other fing is I just didn't. And the fird fing, is I did.

I was cracking up. A rough translation is: He doesn't know why. He just didn't wake up and he just pee'd the bed.

Any advice? tips? ideas?

Oh, one more tidbit from this morning. He was in the living room/kitchen area talking to Nate and I hear:

Nathan:Your my baby, Aidan.

Aidan: I'm NOT a baby.

Nathan: Well, you're not a baby but you're MY baby.

Aidan: yeah, I guess you're right.

belated post

I know an updated post is a long time in coming and I promise I'll get one up soon...but maybe not today. We missed Father's Day last week because we were on vacation to some church history sights and Niagra Falls so today is our make-up Father's Day and today my hubby is going to get spoiled.

Nathan is seriously my other half. He is thoughtful, caring, fun, athletic, dedicated to friends and family, a great breafast maker, super smart, a great orthodontist(at least that's what everyone tells me), sweet, and the best father. My two beautiful boys are clones of this amazing man and I love all three of my men.

When we were dating and engaged and my friends and family from home would ask what he was like, I would just tell them he's like me only a boy. Of course there are some personality differences, intelligence strengths different from mine but he is absolutely my best friend in every sense of the word. I feel very blessed to have found the man that completes me and keeps me on my toes.

I love you babe and I'm yours forever!

I'm Baaaaaccck

You didn't even notice I was gone did you? :( Well, I was because about two months ago Google stopped working on my compter. I did something wrong evidently when I did a virus scan and deleted them so maybe it was a virus but after it was over, poof! no more google. Which meant no more blogger, or google reader, or a search engine for that matter! Have you ever thought how annoying it would be to have a compter that you can't do any searches on? Oh, the internet still worked, however, I couldn't search for AN.Y.THING! So annoying. But thanks to my patient hubby, (THANKS HONEY!) who had to reinstall windows and back everything up which took hours and hours....aaaahhhhhh, I can breathe freely again. Google is back and I can now continue to search, peruse, comment, and post as much as I want.

Seriously need a computer geek in the family to save me from myself.

What I would have missed had I been asleep

I couldn't sleep this morning. Had a disturbing dream which questioned my sanity and woke up at 5:30AM and sleep had escaped me for the night/morning. I have been up for an hour perusing blogs, emails, random red carpet dresses when Aidan got up at 6:22AM. Now, I actually don't knwo if this is early for him or not since I never roll out of bed before 8AM but ...it seems early to me. So I'm standing at the counter, trying to judge the best time to get in the shower without waking Nathan up too early, while Aidan is eating breakfast...

when he says,"Mommy, I just tooted on myself."

Ummm..."Okay."

"Mooom, I just tooted on myself!"

"That's nice." (What do you say to that?!)

"Excuse me."

"Thank you."


So, how did your morning start out? Crazy dreams? random farting statements? Hopefully you all woke up feeling refreshed, had breakfast in bed and still get to take a nap later if you so choose. Amen.

Mother's Day spoiling

On Mother's Day morning, at approximately 7:45am my little Cambiloni walked in, back straight, head held high, proudly bearing a lovingly prepared bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios for me to have breakfast in bed. He was so cute. After eating said Cheerios, I hopped in the shower while Nate fixed our second breakfast of the day, which was banana and blueberry pancakes. Yum!!

At church, the primary kids stood up and sang two songs to all the mommies and it was adorable because it was Aidan's first time being up there and he kept giving me cheesy grins and waving at me from the stand. awesome.

After church, Nathan again spoiled me by letting me take a nap while he kept Camden entertained. Then he made dinner...mmmm...grilled steak filets are very yummy. AND he did the dishes!! What can I say? I have the best man ever. I know your jealous! ;) haha

Camden made me several cards at school, Nate, knowing my love of forever changing my hair, gave me a gift certificate to a hair salon, and Aidan had made a card for me at preschool.

I am very blessed.

Quick foot update, for all of you who are dying! to know...It's doing well. I've been given the green light to exercise and do anything else I want. It's still sore; it still feels bruised but definitely healing. Nathan is also doing great. He's healed crazy fast and his physical therapist is pretty impressed.

Soon, I'll post pics from our Boston trip. It was really fun and it was great to see old friends.

I am pretty much a wimp. I wanted a change in my hair but I didn't want to cut it because I have been trying to grow it out for months now. So, I went to my friend Stephanie, who's in beauty school, to dye it for me. I thought I wanted daring. Go red, I told her. I've never had red hair and that was a pretty drastic change. So below is a pic of my hair before.


this is a pic of my hair after. I actually loved the color. It was cute, different but for some reason, the color was brighter on the top of my head then on the end. so the top didn't quite look like this. So I went back and had her tone it down with some brown.


And this is what I have now. I actually really like it because the grow out won't be as noticeable. I probably should have tried to rock the brighter red. I guess I'm losing my nerve. But I thought she did a great job.
And to prove that I'm never content, I was looking through some honeymoon photos a week ago and noticed that I worked the blonde thing pretty well too...so maybe I've had enough years of being dark. Maybe next time, I'll make a full circle and go blonde again...now if only I could get my body back in shape the way it was when I got married...

Real Fast

New post really quick!.

My foot is doing awesome!! It was annoying to be laid up for so long but that also was beneficial so that my foot didn't swell AT ALL and I've had minimal pain. Now I walk around fine and I just have to remember to do some stretching exercises so my toe doesn't develop scar tissue. I'm so glad I had it(karen that's for you). It's definitely worth doing and my scar is really small and hardly noticeable.

Nathan and I are currently on a whirlwind business trip looking at orthodontic practices in the Pacific Northwest. We've been crazy busy but also having fun seeing old friends and just hanging out a lot. Car trips are awesome! ;)

More updates to come...
