Baby AL Is No Longer A Baby

WOW! Was it really 2 years ago that Baby AL was born. I can no longer call him a baby. He is potty training. And is trying not to wear anything but underwear. He is showing his independent side a little too often. He is getting to be such a big boy!
He enjoyed Halloween. Although, he can not eat any of the candy he got. I should have sent it with my nephew. He came with us and it was so much fun. My son wanted to walk with Aunt Ashley and her son wanted to walk with me! At one point my nephew want to hold hands with Baby AL. So they just walked around with each other. It was so cute!

The big kids were great! They agreed ahead of time that they would walk with the family and not with friends so we did not have to worry about any of that. Turned out to be a good thing. The 5th grade parents in the neighborhood let the kids go together as a group without parents. I was not comfortable doing that. I just do not trust the decision process for a 9/10 year old. Not with all the crazy people around on Halloween. We dodge the bullet this year, we will have to deal with it again next. Ms. G was Wednesday Adams and Mr. A was Werewolf. Everyone made a comment to them when they got to the door for trick-or-treating. Mr. A even scared this poor old lady. She jumped so high I saw felt sorry for her.

Baby AL turned 2 yesterday. So now he needs to be my Little AL. Which is a good thing with the baby coming. I still can not believe he is so big. He loves everything he got. Some Thomas the Train stuff, Dinosaurs, Monster Cookie ( what he calls him), and a tricycle. He has been playing nonstop with all of them. He put the dinos in the trike and blew the horn yelling "all aboard! Dinosaur Train! Hoo! Hoo!" He then rode around the family room blowing the horn. I would have pictures to post but NONE turned out clear. They are all blurry. The flash broke on the camera and now we can not take pictures. We need to get that fixed!
The Big kids are away at winter camp for TKD. I am a little worried. They have never been away from a parent for the weekend. They go down to the nuts for the weekend but they are with him. They camp but are with Sean or myself for scouts. So this is either going to be great for them or absolutely miserable. We will see.
We are just waiting for baby L to arrive. She is due in early December. But I am considered full term now so it really could be any day now. We are mostly ready. My hubby still has to wash the baby seat down. It was sitting in the garage for a year so I want him to actually wash it before we put her in it.
I am a little worried about the labor and delivery. I know I have done this many times before. BUT.... I am a wimp. I did it without any pain meds for the others, now I feel I have to do it with this one. What if she takes forever like Little AL? I do not know if I could handle that. I know in the end it will all turn out right. I am just a worry wort.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will let you know when Baby L make her debut.
