My babies are growing up.


Mostly I was tired of the toddler bed in our room taking up space. I figured we would approach it the same way we did with Axl...just put it in the room and start her out in it at naps and bedtime just to get her used to it. This afternoon, the shoe drawer was just too tempting so she ended up back in the crib, but tonight I just went in to see this. :)

(side note: If Erin or Erica are reading this, please still come get the bed whenever you need it. :) Coop and I will have fun picking out a new one!)

(Amanda, the blanket it perfect and oh, so snuggly!)


Also--I'm on Fall Break and I kept Axl home from school and stayed home from the gym to get some serious potty training in. The morning was seriously unsuccessful. We made a potty chart with a picture of some roller skates at the end. Axl was so excited that he would NOT get off the potty, but could also NOT pee. I would say that he probably sat on the potty for atleast 2 hours total just this morning. When I pried him off of it because I was tired of sitting there he cried and cried for roller skates...poor guy. He finally peed on the potty once (Well, he said he did and I saw just a little drip) after Tyler got home, and tonight before bath I asked Tyler to show him peeing standing up. Worked like a charm. Too bad I am the one home this week, because, well...peeing standing up for me would be quite difficult. Anyway, he went to bed with 2 stickers. :) Maybe we're getting somewhere...

Funnies

Tonight at Penn Station Axl kept trying to "claim" the large fry we had ordered to share as a family. "Dese are my fries," shoving them all into his corner of the basket. Tyler quickly snatched up a handful to put in his basket, I guess hoping Axl wouldn't notice. Axl looked up at Tyler and said, "Are you tidding me?".

On the way home from dinner I asked Cooper if she was ready for night night since she was being awfully cranky. Tyler then said, "Are you guys ready for night night?" and Axl replies, "Aye Aye Taptain". And, no, we do not watch Spongebob; Tyler thinks it came from "Pirate Movie" (Peter Pan).
Maybe I'll have more luck with her??
