Happy New Year!

01.01.2009

I have never been a fan of New Year's resolutions because I've never known anyone who made one they were actually able to keep. So, this year I'm vowing to give up canoeing, mountain hiking and sushi. This will be easy as I have no real interest in any of these things! But seriously, I do have a few thoughts on what I'd like the new year to bring...

1. Be more organized. I don't know any mother who doesn't feel this way. Well, my friend Heather might not. She's the most organized person I know.

2. Take more pictures that include William and I together, as well as me with Andrew. You'll probably never see these, but I'd like to have them so Andrew will know I was around in the years he can't remember!

3. Develop a routine that will allow me to take care of everything I need to each week. This idea is mostly devoted to housework. Maybe if I was more organized this would take care of itself?

4. Read more to Andrew. He hates to sit still but I miss sharing this with him, so I'm hoping we can get back into the habit of reading time.

I'm sure there are several other things I could list, but there's no need to overdo it.

William hasn't made any resolutions - none that I know of anyway. And I really don't know any I would choose for him.

Andrew, on the other hand, does have a few resolutions - though he doesn't know it yet! Within the next six months, he will be completely potty trained and in his big boy bed. I'm sure we could have already made these transitions but I've selfishly tried to keep my baby as long as possible.
