He brought Phillip into our bedroom the other day and I asked him if he was playing with his Care Bear. He told me his name was Phillip. Later in the day, I asked Liam where Phillip was and he told me Phillip is sleeping and pointed to the ottoman. Hence the photo above. Yesturday Phillip and to sit in a time out for a while (from Liam, not me) and spent some time milling around a basket of clean clothes.
Christian never played with stuffed animals this way (I did as a child) so I am just loving this. It is also fun to watch him use his imagination.
Christian likes to turn everything in the house into either a space ship or a gun. He spends hours building Lego laser guns and goes around defending the home planet. We all feel much safer.
I have started running. I was able to run about a mile yesturday and close to that today. I am running/walking and trying increase the amount of time running slowly. My end goal for this is the Hood to Coast Relay next summer. A co-worker invited me to join a team she is putting together. She has more faith in me than I have in myself. Next summer is my 40th birtday and the relay is a couple of weeks after my birthday, so I thought it would be a great way to ring in a new decade of life.
My other goal to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight (Liam is almost 4) by my birthday. I am journaling what I eat and of course the running, biking and ballet help. I find that I am not as hungry on the days that I do more intense workouts.
Here is a layout I did last night....

That is so cute about Liam and Phillip...
I love it when my boys imaginations run wild
Love the story of Phillip, I hope he doesn't have to spend too much time in time out. Good luck with the running and weight loss.
Awww, how cute, gotta love boys! My little guy, who's 6 has "little Mikey" who goes on similar adventures.
Best of luck with the running!
Hi Michelle,
I have decided, having a rare 1/2 hour with no needs pressing (a miricle!) to visit ALL on today's blog train and say hello.
I'm glad I did - your son's story is too precious. Seems like yesterday our children were that small - they're in their 20's now.
I LOVE your header!
Now, YAY to you, gurl, for running. My husband and I have run marathons - but my knees 'creak' now and I don't want to put that sort of pressure on them anymore. You are being wise, starting slowly and building up. I wish you the VERY best - you'll be amazed at what running gives BACK. There's no feeling in the world like just after a good run.
Thanks for sharing.
warmly,
Barb (Mrs. Miles)
