Big Boy Bed!

While I was staying with my Grandmas and Grandpas for a week, mommy and daddy painted the guest room and hung a cool new sports border for me.  I was excited when I got home, but only because I thought it was a new room to run around in (since it was completely emptied out).   They kept telling me that I was going to get a new bed, but I didn't really understand.  Then, the next Saturday, a BIG truck came, and mommy told me that it was all for me!  I started to get excited and watched out the door....

As the guys carried the stuff in, I would go up and down the steps each time to watch them.  I tried to 'help' them put together the bed, but I think I might have just been in the way...

Once they were done, I finally realized that this was MY new room, and I was so excited!  What a cool big boy room :)

I have been doing so good in my new bed.  I don't get out until the morning, I don't cry when it's time for bed, and I sleep all night.  I guess it was time for me to move out of the crib.  Oh, and when I go into my old room now, I point at the crib and say 'baby.'  I like my new room so much that I have decided the baby can have my old one.  But I made sure to take all of my favorite blankets out of there, those are mine :)

Potty Training....Not so much!

A few months ago, Mommy bought me a cool new potty chair.  It looks like a froggy, and I thought it was the coolest thing.  The first several times I sat on it, I went potty, and we were all so excited!  The 'newness' has worn off though now, and I don't care much for that dumb chair.  :)  I much prefer to just go in my diaper.  The potty chair serves as a great 'stool' for me to step on to reach the light switch in the bathroom though....

Mommy always can tell when I'm messing in my diaper because I found a favorite hiding spot (behind the couch).  I tell anyone that comes into the room when I'm going 'no, no, go in there' and point to another room.  Hey, a boy needs his privacy, right?

We'll keep trying with this potty training thing.....I keep hearing that it would be nice if I would learn how before the baby comes.  I intend to do it on my own timeline, thank you :)

Privacy Please!

Fishing.....and falling in

A few Saturdays ago, we packed up our vehicle, met some friends, and headed to Lake Peloski for the afternoon.  We had three boats, eleven adults, and seven kids.  I was a little scared at first, but then got on board since the other kids were having so much fun.  We tied our boats together and just hung out swimming, ate snacks and enjoyed the sun.  

Throwing a fit, not wanting to
wear my life jacket.  I didn't win the battle :)  

I decided it wasn't so bad...boats are cool!

All of the kids on the inter tube....except me
(tantrum time), oops!

Swimming with Daddy

After we had hung out for awhile, we took one of the boats with my friend Brady and his Daddy out to fish for awhile.  I was SO excited because I have never fished before.  

Trying out the fishing pole 

Our first fish....kind of a small one :) 

Our second fish.  I think I smothered him a little, oops. 

The highlight of the whole day (or not) was when my friend Brady and I were looking at the fish in the water.  We are great friends, but we also like to fight a bit (what little boy doesn't). We were fighting over who got to see the fish, and just like that, I fell into the lake!  I guess I'm glad Mommy and Daddy made me put that life jacket on!  Mommy was freaking out (and so was I), but Daddy jumped in and rescued me.  Whew, that was a close one.  No more fighting on the boat!
