One of the most important tasks I wanted to accomplish in 2011 was to potty train Cache Money. I am happy to report that after several stickers, dollar bills, train rides and dum-dums, Steve and I were able to check that off our list! I don't know if you know how exciting that was. It's okay if you don't. It's also okay if you don't find looking into a potty to see what your two year old left is the most exciting thing in the world. Steve and I are happy and excited and ecstatic and exhausted. But mostly we are proud.
Cache Steven Bourne. My little boy, not baby boy, little boy....big boy according to him. Don't worry, if I forget that he is constantly growing he will remind me. Thinking about it makes my eyes a lil' bit sweaty.
A few weeks ago when I had picked up Cache from his Grandma Bourne's house and we were driving home he said in this firm, sweet voice, "Mom, I can't stay little for you. I'm getting big. Dats' good because I can't grow up little." Such wise words filled with truth from such a young child.
Yesterday I wrote this quote on my mirror:
"But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained."

I need a reminder here and there to cherish the moments and do everything I can to preserve them. I hope that I accomplish that in 2012. Because before I know it, my old wrinkly hands will be going through scrapbooks, blogs, old facebook posts and journal entries to remind me of "back then".
Here is to 2012. More time to fly and more moments to cherish....and no more diapers to change ;).
