Big Boy Bed

Clark and I bought his big boy bed today. I went to the library and got a book about staying and sleeping in his new big bed.

Clark and I picked it up today and put it together. He was very helpful, mostly. :)
He was all excited until I put his mattress in the bed. Then he got a freaked out look. So we went next door and I borrowed Merrik to show him the bed, which then made Clark much more excited. Slowly he started to warm up to the bed. He hit his hands on it, then started to bounce his hands and eventually half laid on it. Clint, Tavi and I all made a big deal about his bed.
Then we went back outside to wear him out some more. :)

Seemed to work...today...


I realize that this is probably the "honeymoon" phase, but hopefully it will continue to stay easy.

Wait, what am I talking about?! He's 2! There is NOTHING easy about a 2 year old. Just google, "My 2 year old makes me want to drink" and that will give you a good idea in case you aren't blessed with a little demon angel that is 2. :)

Hopefully next week we can take the crib down. :)

Nex Stop...

...South Korea!


Unless the Army changes their mind at the last minute, we are set to go to South Korea in July. I'm VERY excited and so is Clint. Our families on the other hand are not as much, but we all knew our time in California wasn't going to last forever.

We don't know which base we will be assigned to yet. Clark and I have to get command sponsorship to go. Basically a bunch of paperwork making sure that we don't have any health needs that we won't have access to if we do move. Once we get command sponsorship the commander will have to assign us to a base. We hope to be in Soul or the base about an hour away from Soul. The jobs are different. Some are strictly running a clinic, others are just the food mission and some are a combination of clinic and deployment training. Clint won't deploy though.
Part of why we picked S.Korea was so that Clint doesn't have to deploy. I "kind of" freaked at the conversation we had about deployment. (kind of: extreme understatement of my reaction) Maybe, hopefully the idea of deployment won't be so horrible.

We hope to be able to do some traveling while we are there. Tickets to China and Japan are about $400. Same as our tickets were from KS to CA.

Now we have to figure out what household goods will be shipped and what has to stay. They only allow about half of your belongings to be shipped, but they have furniture rental places.

We also will be selling both our vehicles. The word is that Korean drivers are CRAZY!

So we will keep you posted on the progress.

Rainy Day Play

Last week we had a few days of rain. A rare occurrence in Cali. So Clark and I got dressed in our rain gear and headed outside to find some good puddles.

Puddles were a plenty in our neighborhood!





Clark and I found some puddles so deep that the water was running into the top of his boots. He hasn't really gotten the concept of what an umbrella does, but he loved being able to use it.

As you can see from my pants, I had a good time splashing in the puddles too!
