Puddle Duck

It rained all day today. Most of the day, it was the kind of rain that you don't even want to go out to your car. But, since I still had to go to work, after breakfast I bundled Will and I in our raincoats and headed out. While I was putting down our stuff in the car (Why does it feel like everywhere we go we have enough stuff to move in??) Will ran around the car. Then, I realized what he had been doing--jumping in the puddles! He was soaked to the waist, shoes, jeans, socks....oh no! He was so happy and proud of himself that I couldn't stay mad for long. We ducked quickly into the house to get more clothes and another pair of shoes, and I stripped him and put him in dry clothes when we got to the daycare. He threw a fit over his socks, he wanted to keep the wet white ones instead of the navy blue ones. And guess what--the shoes I grabbed didn't fit! So Will spent the day in dry warm socks while his shoes dried. What a day! And when I got there to take him home....you guessed it. My puddle duck wanted to play in the puddles again!

We're celebrating another milestone this weekend....Will's going into a toddler bed!

Whoaaa, you are better than me! Kevin is still in his crib. Although he has hated our attempts to put him in a toddler bed so far. January is when we will do it, no matter what. Same with potty training. I am soooo done with diapers.

Yay for the Big Boy Bed! Toby loves his (especially because he has McQueen & Mater sheets!)

I have a puddle duck, too! He loves it so much it's hard to get (too!) mad at him, but I try to make him wait until we're on our way home, not out!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
