McFlunk

We've got a big birthday around here - my baby is almost 2! I can't believe my little monkey is almost entirely out of the baby stage.  I guess technically she has been for a little while but...I don't know...2 makes it sound so...official. 

We had to convert her crib to the toddler bed last week - she was crawling out. M wasn't like that at all - she never tried to climb anything so this is all new.  And it's funny too because M2 is built like me - short and squat so I could not believe she was actually making it out of her crib.  How could she possibly get out when she's barely taller than the railing? 

I had a suspicion, at first, that she was getting some help from big sister but I spied on her one night and apparently she's limber like me too.  She just hiked her little leg up there and kinda tumbled out.  And that's why we actually did the conversion.  Not that we minded her escaping - she just wasn't all that great at it.

We also lost the binky last week.  She only had it at naps and night time but we are officially done. So goodbye all things baby.  Almost.  We've still gotta tackle the potty training...but losing the diapers is something I'm actually looking forward to.

I need to get started on her birthday poem - I've waited a little late this year and it's almost caught up to me. Actually, her entire birthday has just snuck up.  I just went tonight to get her birthday decorations and I usually have that stuff weeks in advance. 

I've had a couple days off from running - one because I had plans this weekend that kept me busy but I also really just needed a break from running so that I could refocus and avoid getting frustrated.  A self-imposed time out. 

So tonight was my night back.

Except while I was out getting birthday stuff I also picked up a Rolo McFlurry. Oh my goodness - that was some good stuff!  But I didn't eat all of it - just enough to make me feel fat. 

I did get on the treadmill and attempt to run.  The problem with that is that you can't eat a McFlurry and then expect to run like a person who doesn't...
