My Birthday!

I am a little late posting this but I had to share my FANTASTIC Birthday gifts!

In the morning I woke up to find the sweetest loving Birthday card from my dear husband.

I go to drop off the kids at daycare and Ben's teacher told me what he had just started doing the day before... he is WALKING, well, he's actually walking with the help of his little pushing walker-toy, but he is indeed taking little steps. It was so amazing to see him... and he loved it, he couldn't stop smiling the whole time he was doing it.

At work, I had a Birthday cake and my co-workers took me out for lunch at Olive Garden.

At night, once I got the kids from daycare, all of us, including Zach, went to Golden Corral for dinner and for the first time EVER, Ryan told us he had to go Poo Poo, so I ran to the bathroom with him and sure enough.. he went in the toilet.... YIPEEEEEE!!!! He actually took a lot longer than expected, I was waiting for him to be finished to use the toilet myself but gave up and used the toilet next to him because he was taking forever... is this a guy thing?

And last, but not least, that same night, Zach asked Ryan to say Happy Birthday to Mommy, and he, unexpectedly, sang the Happy Birthday song to me... YUP, he sang the whole thing... I didn't even know he knew how to sing it... that was the biggest surprise of all... it almost brought tears to my eyes.
