going to get our baby!

Been an awfully busy day here...trying to finish up this week's "schooling", making special cupcakes for my dad's birthday, and getting us packed. As soon as Gray gets off the bus, we're heading to my parents to pick up our Maxidoodle!

My gosh, have we missed the little bugger! In a lot of ways, life has been easier and less stressful around here without him, but it's also felt empty and not nearly as fun!

We're not even sure he wants us to come and get him. He's apparently been having soooooo much fun with the 24/7 attention and spoiling he's been getting from Grammy and Papa.

But the trip has been a success. Nothing short of miraculous, if you ask me. We took him there in a last ditch effort to get him to use the potty. He's 4 1/4 years old...I'd say that's past time to give up diapers. I've had people say he's not the only one to wait this long. But no one seems to actually know anyone personally.

Oops...Gray is home. So we've got to run. Will continue when we get home tomorrow.

A wonderful weekend to all!

Well, that had to be stressful - glad your little guy's coming back home and is opting for the potty. Amazing what they'll do for the grands, isn't it?

Oh, I can't imagine how much you've missed him! Hope you have/had a great trip, a safe one, and I know you'll be glad to all be home again. So glad that Grammy and Papa could help out with that. I can't imagine how stressful that was to have him still holding out! So glad he's such a big boy now!
