Cloth Diapering…

Diego has been soaking thru his diaper at night. Especially when he drinks a lot before going to bed. I try to avoid giving him any drinks after 6 pm but sometimes he asks for a drink so I give it to him since I don’t want to deny him this. I mean, if you are thirsty, you take a drink. Same for Diego.

Well, anyway, he already wears Huggies Overnights which are already think but they are not thick enough on some nights. On the nights they do work, awesome and yay all around. But on the nights they don’t work, then it is a wet kid and sometimes even a wet crib. So after checking around, I decided to go for cloth diapers.

These are not your old fashion cloth diapers. They are the bumGenius 2.0 One-Size Cloth Diaper. I got them today. I bought three different colors: White, Grasshopper (green) and Twilight (blue). They look great. I get to try one for 14 days and see if it works. I truly hope so. If it doesn’t, I get to return them and get my money back. They were not cheap. They were $17 each. I figure if they work, he will probably wear them for 6 months so it comes out even. We shall see. The test starts tomorrow.

Justin Concert…

I am desperately need of a nap right now, but we had a great time.

I am glad I went.  I am not a huge fan of his but it was a really great concert.

Pink was the opening act.  She was great.  She was on for 45 minutes.  She did some funky trapeze act at the end.  I wish I was that limber. =)

There was a 30-40 minute break.  After some people watching*, Justin appeared.  The crowd went nuts.  It is amazing how loud the crowd roar was.

Manda swears JT was singing to her. Laughing Every time I glanced at her, she was swooning. She reminded me of this smiley:


He sang all his popular tunes, plus others I never heard of.  I am definitely going to buy his latest album.  I have been meaning too but it hasn’t been top priority. 

There was a 15 minute break with Timbaland mixing it up.  He later came back to sing SexyBack with Justin.

Took a while to get out of the parking lot.  Once we did, traffic was light which was good since it was 12:30 am when I dropped Manda home.

I got home before 1 AM.  Brushed teeth and put my jammers on and crashed.

*There were a lot of dumb people around us but it just added more entertainment to the night.

*What makes people show up to their seats 2 HOURS after the concert started?!?!?!?

Bought it…

Bought my laptop. I am so happy! I haven’t done much with it but I did get the internet working on it. And I installed Firefox, YIM and MSN Messenger. I haven’t had much time to play with it.

I love what I have seen. Back lit keyboard and 15 inch monitor. I might buy a wireless mouse but I need to get used to the pad first.

I am so happy!!!!

Almost bought it…

We went to the Mac Store today. I was so going to buy the laptop but it was just crazy. I couldn’t get any one’s attention since all the sales people were busy. A little sad but it is okay. Maybe we will go again tomorrow.

Happy Day…

at our household.

Eric got a promotion and a raise today at work!!!!

clap clap clap clap clap clap

And not only did he get a promotion but his two worker bees got one too. I am very proud of what he had done with his team.

We went to Heaven On Seven to celebrate. It was nummy!

The Potty Saga Continues…

As previously written, Diego has used the potty chair once. We are really not pushing this but when the opportunity arises, we go for it. Usually after we bathe Diego was bathed, we let him play in the tub for a little while. After a while, we noticed he was grunting. I hightailed it to get the potty chair from the downstairs bathroom. We take Diego out of the bath, dry him off a little bit and sit him down on the chair. He was pointing to himself and saying “poo poo” in Spanish. We were cheering him on. So we waited and waited. He was playing with some rubber “ucks” while sitting on the potty. And we waited some more. This went on for about 30 minutes. So finally Eric finally asked Diego if he wanted up. He did and we noticed that he had gone number 1. Diego peed in the potty and we did not even notice. Yay!!!

Saga continues…

Good deeds…

Well, last night I did two good deeds. One planned and the other unplanned.

On Tuesday, I found a UIC ID at the parking garage across the street from Little Gym. I figured I should find the person, which I did via the school online directory, and send them an email.  After sending an email to the ID’s owner and waited over 24 hours, I finally got an email from her yesterday. We met at Caribou and she was very grateful.

So I was walking home, someone asked me where Prairie Ave & 14th St was. So I gave him instructions on how to get there.

That made me feel good on a cold and windy night. I did two good unselfish things this week. I think I am set for the rest of the year. 😉

Happy March…

Well we are getting closer to spring than we are to winter.  Also, this is the first year that we are setting our clocks back (spring back) in March, March 11 to be exact.  That should be good but I have a feeling it is going to wreck havoc on Diego’s sleeping pattern.  Let’s hope not.

Don’t forget to check your smoke/carbon monoxide detector batteries.
