i am iron man

so, seamus is making some steps in becoming a grown up kid. no more bottles. she really only would have one at nap time and that was it, but since the trip to disneyland when she had one any time she pretty much wanted one, she hasn't had any. its all sippy cups. and now, too, at meal times she is using a normal cup, which today, she showed us how she can accidentally spill it all over. next on the list for seamus is potty training. we think over memorial day weekend it will be a no diaper weekend and we will just see if that will do it. there will likely be lots of crying and lots of pee all over the place but hopefully it goes ok.

sirus's new thing is getting a big mouthful of food and them blowing it all over the place. he seems to think this is pretty neat. he is also army crawling all over the place. he can get up onto his elbows and knees and rock back and forth and squel with excitement, but the army crawl is how he gets around right now.

other big news - we went and got some wetsuits today. big fun. we chose to buy instead of rent since i have already registered for 3 events this summer and will do at least one practice open water swim, too, and to rent a suit 4 times would be about 3/4 the cost of buying one. we bought one for eric, too, just so he can be cool. his has red arm pits. i am excited to try it out. i am a little less freaked out about the lake swimming now that i have tried the suit on. i do know that the guy at the place where we got them had ZERO sense of humor or maybe i am just not that funny. i think it was him.

the plan is to drive my bike into work tomorrow, ride it home tomorrow evening (if its not raining) and then ride it into work on tuesday then drive home tuesday evening. its been so long eric and i were discussing that i may have forgotten the route.

nadj puked on our bed. i sat here and yelled to eric and he came and looked at it and commented that it was a good thing it was on my side. then nadj went out and puked in the family room. eric cleaned that up but left the puke on the bed so i had to clean it up. sirus puked on the bed earlier today. i think we need to wash the bed spread.
