things i ♥ thursdays

i ♥ san diego's weather
even when it's bad, it's still good.
for the past 2 weeks, it's been overcast and in the low to mid 60s
not horrible, but i was ready for a little sunshine.
the sun has since come out and it's been in the mid 70s on the coast.
c just returned from sacramento where it reached 100 degrees.
mom just blogged that it's 90 degrees and humid in florida.
here's what i have to look forward to this weekend.

















i forget sometimes how amazing the weather is here.
until i leave and come back.
ahhh, i ♥ san diego's weather!




i ♥ the wee ride
these kiddie bike seats are the coolest EVER!
instead of sitting behind the adult and staring at their back,
the seat is designed to go in front of the adult. it's brilliant.
c bought one for us years back to tote finn around in
and we've kept it and have been using for scoutie to this day.
it's one of our best purchases we've ever made as far as kid-gear goes!
though scout prefers to ride his trike these days,
for long rides, he simply can't keep up so he rides in this.
last night he rode with mom in his wee ride
while big brother pedaled his cruiser for
a sunset bike ride along mission bay.
was such a nice evening!






















i ♥ that scoutie is 98% potty-trained.
the best part, it's been painless for all of us.
he was ready and i believe timing is everything.
no forcing, coercing, or bribing was necessary.
he went from pull-ups to underwear this week without a fuss. *cheer* 
he simply announces he needs to go, walks to the bathroom and goes.
we are thrilled and very proud of our 'big boy'.

though he prefers to wear the lightning mcqueen undies he picked out.
i just ordered these adorable shark undies from baby gap.
i couldn't resist them.
i justified it by knowing they'll last until he outgrows them.





















i ♥ having my hubby home.
it's really tough on all of us without him, especially me.
i forget how much he does until he's not here.
during one of scoutie's tantrums this weekend,
i actually told the boys 'mommy needed a time out'.
i walked out of the house and went into the cottage.
i stayed in there for 15 minutes or so while i regained my composure.
with c travelling a bit lately, i've gotten a glimpse of what it's like to be a single parent.
it's NOT easy. i have a whole new respect for single parents.
i must remember to tell my sis and mommy friends how much i admire them.
they are everyday heros.
