It's been a little while since I've written, and let's just sum it up to say that things have been more than crazy! After getting done with summer classes, I had a month off. We went on a kid free vacation, decided we needed a vacation from our vacation, worked a TON, and T got tubes in his ears. Needless to say, things have been slightly...insane. School has started again, and this semester I am taking finance. I can't say that I think I'm going to enjoy it, though. I have to say that, at 28, I am more than ready to get my second degree and be DONE with  college. 
T is doing good. We have had a few minor bumps in the road after the tubes surgery, but nothing that we can't handle, and definitely nothing that has slowed him down, thank goodness! He is my little man, and I feel so blessed to have him, as I know that Matt does, too. I love when he runs up to me, gives my knees a big hug and says, " love you, best fwiend", and then runs off to play some more. His kind heart and spirit are going to do great things for this world. I just wish that nothing will stand in the way of his love for everything, or his innocence. His love for animals is what warms my heart. Granted, both Matt and I are big time animal lovers- and with 3 dogs, a cat, a ferret, and a salt water fish tank, I guess you could say we have acquired a small petting zoo! But, T will sit and play with Lily (the ferret) and she will just sit in his lap and let him pet her. And Cali, my nearly 16 year old cat, loves him, too. If she's not licking his toes, he's rubbing her head. 
We are working on potty training, and it is going fairly well. We have our good days and our not so good days. He likes to get stickers, so that is his reward. He doesn't want candy, so that doesn't work to get him to use it. I am open to any and all suggestions!! I know it takes him, but it is truly frustrating! But I know that we will get there!
