Gonna be a good day. I can feel it

Last night was a success for James for going to bed without a bottle. I did however give him a cup with milk and of course he didn't want that, but some time during the night he did drink it. He did go to sleep without a fuss. Donny and I tried to wear him out before bed and it worked :) I did get him Silk Almond milk. Tastes okay. I think next time I'll get the vanilla cause I don't think James cares for it. He gave me a strange look and put the cup down. I don't know if he finished it or not. I should probably go check in a bit.
     I went through all of James' toys this morning and realized that he had toys from when he was a newborn and decided to get rid of a bunch of toys. I seriously have a bunch of clothes and toys to take to Goodwill. I'm not a big fan of passing down newborn toys or toys that are being chewed on to any of my friends. I do however wash them and put them into bags for Goodwill. I also went through his extra clothes bin. The bin contains all different sizes from 2 years to 5T. As I was pulling out his 24months/2T I noticed that he has a lot of sweaters and jackets. What in the world?? We live in FL and I don't think it's gonna get that cold to where he'll need all that hot clothes. Then I realize where the majority of them came from: my mom. She loves sweaters on boys. Well if it doesn't get that cold we'll have to turn the AC down quite a bit so he'll get some use out of them and my mom will see them.
     As I type this James is already down for his first nap, but is crying hard because there is no bottle in there with him. He woke up at 5:30 this morning and was yawning and rubbing his eyes to signal that he was tired at 8:30. For him to cry this hard is not normal and I can only assume he's having bottle withdrawals. Okay I got him up. Apparently he wasn't tried. Usually he lays down and cries which means "I'm tired, but I don't want to go to sleep". This time he was standing up which means "I'm not tired" so we are currently watching Toy Story and he is trying to decide if he likes the Almond milk or not. I might mix a little of the whole milk in it and see if that makes a difference to him.
     The mowers are here and that means James can stand at the slider doors and watch them. Usually there is a crew of 5 guys, but so far I only see 1 guy today. James gets so excited that he knocks on the glass to get their attention, but they are so busy and can't hear him that they pass by. Although 1 time the weed guy did notice him and waved and James ran off being all shy.
     James just said a new word"CUP" I'm so excited!!!!! That's his 2nd word that he'll actually say. He knows many words, but hasn't said any until now. Soon sentences will flow......hopefully. That concludes our morning
