The week dragged on-and-on. It was just a long week. I guess that happens when work is slow... I enjoyed making DH and DS Christmas stockings though.

Santa pictures every year until DS is 19 and waking up every morning to gifts from "Santa" underneath the tree and a full stocking. I'd also like to bake cookies and watch lots and lots of holiday movies. I don't know, we will think of others. DS is only 9 months.

Questions for next week? For those that potty trained, talk to me about regression. We had 3 weeks of being accident free and the last 2 days we have had 2 poo accidents and several peeing accidents. Normal?
