I was lying down with Carter before bed, and I asked him if he was always going to be my baby.  He old me not when he grows up because he will be a fireman and live at the fire station.  He is worried because he doesn't have a mask or an oxygen tank, but he already has fireman boots, fireman pants, fireman shirt, and a fireman hat.  I told him they would have it at the fire station.  He wanted to know where, and I assured him they would show him.  Next, he wanted to know how he would get to the fire station.  I replied he would be big and would have a car he could drive to get there.  Then, he told me, he was just going to be a pretend fireman because he is going to be a daddy.

Today is a great day for 2 reasons:
1. Carter FINALLY poopooed on the potty. No urging. Just did it. We
went and got Kevin off the treadmill and headed to Brusters.

2. I realized my wine glass only holds 5 oz, not 8 like I thought.
That's huge when you are calorie counting!
