While I throughly enjoy being out in town running errands and being around people I think I have discovered again what my parents knew when I was little, I'm sort of a homebody. I am relaxed and my most comfortable at home. I think that Dylan is the same way. He loves going to school, playing with his friends outside and doing things, but he seems most him self at home. When he was little I could put on the movie Cars and he would sit through the whole thing time and time again. He likes to hang out. Lincoln, on the other hand, is more of what I would call a busybody. I'm not sure if that's the best term for it, but that's the one I could think of. Yes, he is a toddler, I get that, but I can definitely tell that his personality is different from Dylan's. Walking to go get the mail is exciting for him rather than a task he has to accomplish to get to what he actually wants to do. He is just barely entertained by tv or movies but has a special place in his heart for all things PBS kids (think Elmo, Curious George, Clifford etc.). He moves from one activity to another and boy can he sure wear this momma out. The funny thing is that although I haven't met our newest addition yet, he reminds me a lot of Dylan when I was pregnant with him. Other than the length of morning sickness, everything seems really similar. I don't know if that will change once he is born, but having another mini me wouldn't be too bad :)
My oldest son just turned 7 and since we are watching every cent going out I tried to be as creative as possible when coming up with the birthday of a life time (until next year). Do: Make Them Feel Important Without Spending Money Waffles with chocolate syrup for breakfast are ok on a special day like this! (I love using a pizza cutter to slice waffles and pancakes for the little guys, especially Lincoln who is still learning to feed himself with a fork) Measuring on the wall of fame, we only write on it once a year now to make it exciting. Dylan grew about 3.25 inches in one year! This momma gets tired quicker than ever being 30+ weeks pregnant and chasing after a rowdy toddler so I didn't do the fanciest cakes (remember the volcano cake from birthday 4 or the mint chocolate chip cupcakes from last year) but I did find some cute stickers that have been in the house for years, put a matching one on both sides of a flat tooth pick and voila, cupcakes to compete with the best ...
