Bill and Miss (plus two)

It seemed like we had a pretty busy weekend and Jacob continued to do great with his potty training. 

Saturday morning Jacob and I went to a Build and Grow workshop at Lowes to make a helicopter.  It was a little more involved than I expected, but we had fun hammering pieces together and trying to figure out how the heck to put the helpicopter together.  Jacob had fun decorating "his" creation with the stickers they provided. 

Later that afternoon we met up with some friends at the Block at Orange for some bowling fun.  Jacob did pretty well on the bowling alley.  He and his friends, Malaya, Jonah and Alec mostly had fun jumping on the couches and cheering for eachother's good bowing skills.  After bowling we made our way over to Johnny Rockets for some dinner, then the kids ran around outside and before we knew it, it was already 9:30!  Jacob did so well, he didn't have any accidents that day.  He even stayed awake on the way home and did pee pee on the potty when we got home before he went to sleep.  He woke up the next morning with a dry pull up!!!  He slept in his toddler bed for the first time on Saturday night and did great.  He did wake up Sunday morning and climbed out of bed, walked in our room and woke me up!  That was definitely a surprise, but a pleasant one.  I guess we don't have to go get him out of bed anymore!

Sunday we went to church.  I was a little worried about leaving him at Sunday School with only his underwear on, but he did great.  I'm not sure if he went potty there, but again on Sunday he had no pee pee accidents.  Now we still haven't mastered the poo poo, but he does tell us that he has poo poo in his chonies and that he wants to let it go on the potty.  Oh well, makes for a not so fun clean up, but at least he's going poo poo and the clean up isn't that bad...we'll get there eventually. 

Nani and Papa came over later to help daddy move Jacob's furniture into this big boy room.  Once all the furniture was moved, he had fun decorating his walls with all the fun Thomas Wall stickers his daddy got him.  Of course he matched up the large, medium, and small Thomas, James and Gordon and put them all in the same area as eachother.  All the stickers are on one wall only.  Despite Bill and me telling him to put stickers on all the walls, all the stickers landed up on one wall. Oh well, it's his room and that's how he wants it.

Because he did so well with no pee pee accidents all weekend, we took him to Yogurtland for an "ice cream" treat.  We met some friends there and he had fun running around the fountain and eating ice cream with his friends.  Sunday night was his first night sleeping in his big boy room and he did great.  I was a little nervous that he might not want to sleep in there, but I think allowing him to help decorate his room helped a lot.  Plus he now has his Thomas sheets and isn't in his "crib" anymore, so he feels like a big boy.  Again, he woke up Monday morning, got out of bed and came into our room to wake me up.  It's kind of strange for us to be woken up by him and not have to go to his room to get him.  He was a good boy and after he woke me up he said he had to go potty, so he ran to the bathroom all by himself, pulled down his pants and got on the potty.  My little baby isn't so much of a baby anymore :(

On Monday morning, he was playing with his dinosaurs in his room while I was getting ready.  He ran into my room and said he had to go potty.  So we both ran to the bathroom, he pulled down his pants, got on the potty and went!!!  I think this was the first time that he actually stopped playing, came to tell me he had to go potty and actually went!  I was so proud of my big boy!

In other news, we are busy getting ready for baby brother, whom is yet to be named.  Daddy and Papa set up baby brother's room on Sunday afternoon.  The furniture looks great in his room.  I spent some of this afternoon cleaning out the closet in preparation for the little one's arrival.  I didn't realize how much clothing Jacob never wore, mostly because it was the wrong size for the season.  I'm hoping this little guy is able to take advantage of that clothing!  All I really need to do is wash his bedding, hang a couple of Mickey plaques, and put up the valance and the room is ready!  I know he won't be in his room for a while, but it's ready for him when he's ready to sleep in his crib.  The bassinet is out and ready for him too.  I guess you can say, I'm starting the nesting phase, but I still have 2 months to go!

Okay, that's all the updating so far...

so until next time...mommy and daddy love you!!!
