Early Easter

Happy Birthday Pastor!

Growing Boy

Marshmallow Fondant

I'm planning on making Pastor's cake for his upcoming birthday. I found a recipe for fondant icing using marshmallows instead of the traditional way of making fondant. Here is the link, I'll post pics later, but from reading the reviews it seems like it will work great!

Baby?

Today, Duane found his baby with it's foot stuck under a chair. He pulled it out and said: "Baby owie!" while showing the doll to me. I said: "Did the baby get an owie? Aww!" Then Duane looked at the doll and said: "Baby's baba?" I tried to keep from laughing at how cute he is and said: "Does the baby need a baba? Okay."

I thought this was so cute and decided I'd better blog about it before I forgot.

Big Boy Bed

Duane is officially a big boy now! I can't believe how much he's growing and so quickly too. He helped Pastor put the bed together and seemed to like the idea once it was in once piece, but when we put him down for bed that night, he seemed confused. I gave him his bottle and told him it was time to sleep and tucked him in. He looked at me and grinned the biggest grin I've seen on him. It was like he was just realizing his new found freedom.

After we put Duane down, Pastor and I went to watch some TV. Not even five minutes later, little Duane came out of his room in his little footsie PJ's and dragging his blankie behind him. He looked at us and smiled hugely. I put him back in his bed and this happened again and again, but on the fourth try, he stayed in his bed and fell asleep, just like a big boy.

Tonight, Duane put himself to bed. I felt bad to find him all curled up in his blanket and fast asleep. I didn't even get to say goodnight, but this was at seven, so I wasn't really expecting sleep to hit him that early. He's such a smart boy.
