Nap time with GB

"Napping" with GB

William loves to take pretend naps. He loves to take everything off his bed and lay down on the floor and take a nap. Today GB had the experience of napping with William.

Pee pee in the Potty!!!

William loves the potty. He loves to tell me several times a day that he NEEDS to pee pee. He takes off his diaper and runs to the bathroom (this usually happens right after he has gone in his diaper). As many times as William has sat on the potty he has never once actually gone to the bathroom.

So...tonight after his bath he told me he needed to pee pee and went and sat on the potty and...drumroll...he actually peed!! I immediately started clapping and cheering (never thought I would be so excited about pee). William was sooo proud of himself! It was too cute! He called his grandparents to tell them all about it!

We have not officially started potty training but it is in our near future. Hopefully it will be an easy process since he is so obsessed with pee and poo!

Books anyone???

Will and I read to William every night before bed....but tonight apparently we did not read enough books. I went to check on William before I went to bed and he had 21 books in bed with him!! I quietly removed them so he could sleep peacefully in his tiny toddler bed. Sweet boy...I am sooo glad he loves books!

Bath Time.....

Apparently one bath a day is not enough for William. I was quickly fertilizing the back yard before it rained...I was outside less than five minutes...and I walk in to find my son (who I left playing in the living room) naked in the kitched sink!! He told me..."I take a bath Mommy". What scares me is that he got undressed, removed his diaper, got a chair from the kitched table and climbed into the sink in record speed!


For those of you out there worried about the hot water or knives in the sink...don't. The knives are never left in the sink. As far as the hot water goes....he knows how to operate it.

Grass....Finally

Today we lost a tree in our front yard and gained grass! We hated to lose the tree but it was genetically challenged and had to go. We are so excited to finally have grass in our front yard instead of a giant mud pit. William was fascinated with the whole process. He loved watching the guys cut down the tree and grind the stump. I have never seen him sit so still!

Here are a few pictures of the whole process. I will try to add and after shot so you can see how everything turned out.

A Mess of a Day

The day started out with William putting on my mascara while I was getting dressed. Apparently it was not pushed back on the bathroom counter far enough and he snatched it and ran. When I finally caught up to him...this is what I found!!

Later in the day my sweet son decided he did not need to take a nap. He also decided (while not napping) that he did not like the lamp in his room so he broke it! I hear him crying...the kind that makes you drop what you are doing and run kind of cry....and open the door to his room to find him sitting in his crib holding part of a broken light blub in his hand. Luckily he was not cut up...not sure how that happened but I am very thankful!! No trip to the ER...yet. There were pieces of glass everywhere! And they were all VERY tiny. I strip William down to his diaper and then remove everything on the bed. Then I vacuumed the room...no less than ten times to make sure I got every little piece of glass. Once everything is back in order I check out the lamp. The place where the light bulb was supposed to fit is completely broken! How my son managed to do this and electrocute himself is a miracle! William is no longer allowed to have lamps in his room!

Suzanna and Jay's Wedding

This past weekend Will and I traveled to Boerne, Texas for Suzanna and Jay's wedding. We had such a great time! The wedding was beautiful and everyone had so much fun! Suzanna looked gorgeous.

The ceremony was outside by the lake and the weather could not have been better...clear blue skies. We were all a little worried because it had rained on Friday and Saturday morning...but God smiled on Suzanna and Jay and the sun came out!

After the ceremony we spent the evening dining and dancing outside under the stars. It was a great wedding!

Congratulations! We love you both very much!
