Our First Entry

Welcome to the Lentz cyber home! We hope this will serve as a way to keep all of the people we love up to date on all of the craziness that goes on within the four walls of our home.

Barrett and I were lucky enough to spend time with cousins Alexis, and Morgan, and Aunt Romi at the zoo last week. We all had a great time. Alexis is four and, bless her heart, has been passed up already by big Barrett. I'm afraid of what the pictures will look like 10 years from now! He followed her around like a puppy and still talks about brushing the goats with Alexis daily. Morgan was a little under the weather but was a real champ about being carted around. And, come on, how can you not love that face!

The difference in four and two is amazing! Barrett might be sturdier than his cousin but he is definitely still two. I have to remind myself of that and needed reminding by Antsy recently. (I really needed to hear it from someone else!) Although he looks older, he isn't. Expecting more than he's capable of giving is a recipe for disappointment and frustration. I can sit here now and type it out calmly because my little boy is sleeping like an angel upstairs. Ask me about it tomorrow when he hasn't napped....yet again....and you'll probably hear a different version.

He is growing fast, shedding the last remnants of baby and running headlong into the years of a rough and tumble little boy. We recently moved to a "big boy bed." Mommy held on to the containment of the baby bed as long as possible. We've also started potty training. We're by no means 100 percent but a pull up can last all day now. Today was actually a big milestone in the life of any male. Barrett discovered the joys of peeing outside. I think I'll leave the rest to your imagination. I'll just say there was a lot of giggling involved and playing with the waterhose outside has taken on a whole new meaning.
