Cole is 2!

In honor of no longer having a baby, here are some things I absolutely love about my toddler :-)
~ He has one freckle behind his ear, and just got 2 on his hand
~ He hides things behind his back, asks you where it went, shows you one empty hand, then shows the hidden toy, all with a big "this is the best trick ever" smile on his face
~ Things' names are their noises- Baa Baa, Neigh, Woo hoo (train), Dub Dub (bird, his version of tweat tweat... I once said, "Cole, say BIRD." And he looked at me and perfectly enunciated "DUB.")
~ As he is falling asleep in the backseat of the car, I ask him if he wants to go take his nap, and he sleepily answers "No." The other day, same scenario, I asked him if he wanted some goldfish and without even opening his eyes, he said "Yeah," then started snoring.

Joys, Fears, Goals and Obsessions

Hi! I'm starting to get a bit more comfy with this whole blogging thing, though I still feel like I'm stalking people when I read their blogs. Anyway, I saw this in another gal's blog and thought it was kind of cool! The challenge is to list 3 joys, fears, goals, and obsessions. I can never do these things lightly, maybe its the English minor in me, sorry for the seriousness, lol. Here goes!
JOYS:
1.) Cute things Cole says/does
2.) Snuggling my hubby
3.) Working in a job helping others
FEARS:
1.)Having Cole stolen away, or put through a situation where he is afraid and I can't comfort him.
2.)Yeah, I can't really think of anything other than that.
3.) Okay, I'm pretty freaked out by snakes and spiders.
GOALS:
1.)Create and maintain a happy, healthy family in a relatively clean house
2.)Become the kind of woman who helps out others, bakes dinners for new moms, does church nursery and bible studies, and throws showers... things other women do all the time!
3.)Get my marriage and family therapy license and someday run a retreat center with Adam combining ropes courses/trust building exercises with counseling.
OBSESSIONS:
1.) I have a new minor obsession with the Imagination Movers that Adam likes to tease me about
2.) Lip balms, glosses, flavored chap sticks, etc.
3.) Games like Sequence, Ticket to Ride, Alaska, if I don't win we're playing another round!
