Big milestones occurring here this evening....Can you tell what???
Yep- no more crib!
He was actually pretty upset about it when I laid him down- he kept saying, "I need something on there!" He went right to sleep though, so I guess he got over it.
Sweet big boy. He also kept saying- "NO I'm LITTLE!"
And just because I love her so much...
Today was AWFUL. Seriously awful. This morning wasn't too bad, I took them to the park and McDonalds and then we went home. G was tired....but lately when we lay him down he starts in...."I have to go poop." This went on for an hour and a half....sitting on the potty, not pooping, putting him back in his crib. Him screaming, "I have to poop!!!" and climbing out of his crib. I was so tired and angry at him by the end of it I was in tears. Mira was SUPER needy during all of it, which isn't really usual, and it didn't help anything. I truly think his tummy did hurt and he needed to go (as he did finally) but it's getting out of control....Finally at 3 I just gave up.
So on that note- we seem to be completely potty trained. I had trouble for about a week getting him to poop in the potty- he would go in his underwear or wait until nap or night time to go in his diaper. Well, it seems he's done with that. They don't even take him extra times at school- just 4 times a day! He's great about telling me he has to go and he's getting more patient about getting it all out before he runs away! It's pretty weird to have 2 potty trained kids. He hasn't had an accident for a long time now! I think we could have done this a long time ago, but I was nervous. I finally bit the bullet and made him wear underwear ALL the time- even when we were going out, and he crossed over and did it. I still make him wear a pull up if we're going to be in the car for over 30 mins, but he'll usually tell me he has to go.
They are playing together really well most of the time. There's a lot of hitting, but it's usually someone's fault they got hit. They pretty much fight constantly. Mira is really good about playing trains with him (the only thing he ever wants to play). I can sometimes get 30 minutes by myself downstairs to watch a show while they're upstairs in her room. It's GREAT! The messes suck, but it goes with the territory. I can actually make dinner sometimes without being tortured by them.
Mira is excited about the baby. She's always asking to look at my tummy to see if it's any bigger. It's pretty cute. When she first found out about it and heard the heart beat she said, GASP, "We asked God to put a baby in your tummy and he did?! Mommy, that makes me so happy!" It's going to be a new experience having kids that know what's actually going on!
Picture with Grandma Betty.
Isn't this a cute one?!
While we were getting dinner Mira took a book over and had Grandma read to her. It was pretty cute.
The kids ate in the living room- hotdogs and chips.
Griffy only wanted Carly to put tattoos of Thomas on him.

Thanks Aunt Molly!
Here she's wearing her new Sunday School coat and slippers. Nice combo. 
Embarrassed for everyone singing to her!
It was a good time! Mira and I made princess cupcakes and she had her own little cake. We went really simple this year with just hotdogs, beefburger and chips. Everyone seemed to have a good time and she loved her loot!!!
