Big Boy(s)

My little boys have been growing so fast, and life has been so busy that I feel like I can never keep up with all the journaling I should do. By the time I get to sit down and write all the events and sayings from the kids I already forgot half of them, I wonder if it's even worth it at all.

Christopher:
Well, I feel like he is officially a BIG boy. For a while now he has been:
bottle free
crib free
binky free

And for a month now he's been
DIAPER free!!!

This is how he spends most of his time at home.
Potty training wasn't as bad as I expected, but definitely not something fun. It took 3 days of intense training and frustrating accidents, but after some bribery to take him to the ice cream store (AKA Dairy Queen), he even got the poop thing down!!!

He's been saying and doing funny things lately, but of course, I didn't write them down so I can't remember them all. The other day he got a shirt from the library for participating in their reading program. They only had medium or large shirts, so his shirt is quite big. When we got home I let him wear it. He immediately put his hands in the air and started twirling around saying "Look mamae, I'm a princess." I couldn't help but laugh. Seriously, where did you get that from? I guess the shirt fit him more like a dress.

This one happened soon after Christmas, but I never got to writing about it. I was at the mall with the boys and Christopher as usual just RUNS. So this day, he ran ahead of me and into Pac Sun. So I ran in the after him to find him totally dancing in the middle of the store. It was really funny. I made sure I would remember that one so when he's old enough to want to shop there I can run in and DANCE at Pac Sun to embarrass him.

Drew:
He's been super cute and good lately.
He's super attached to his binky and blanket. The other day he woke up and didn't want to take a bath without his blanket. I figured his blanky needed a bath too, so I let it go in. He was in baby heaven to be able to do that.


So here's what Drew needs to work on before baby 3 comes:
Become binky free
diaper free
crib free
move in to Christopher's room

This past week we've been working on being bottle free (I know he's almost 2 and still takes a bottle for milk). I think we have finally achieved that!!! If I can get him to leave his crib and sleep in Christopher's room before the baby come I'll be a happy camper. We can work on the rest later.

Speaking of Baby 3. IT'S A GIRL!!!!
We are excited for the change, and I can't wait to be done being pregnant. This pregnancy has been the easiest one so far, although for the past month I've been dying of pain on my tail bone. Yes the bone, not my sciatic nerve. Going to church for 3 hours is becoming VERY painful. I can stand or lay down without problem, but sitting is just painful. Oh well, 15 more weeks and it's over. (Holly cow, I didn't realize I was that close to my due date!!)
