I'm BIG




I have not had a new posting in a while because I was down and out with some type of virus. I had a 102 fever, chills, and body aches for 3 days. It was quite miserable, and now I am terrified that Blake and Bryce or Tim might get it. I woke up today feeling a little better, but still not the best. At least the end is in sight!
Meanwhile my baby boy Bryce has become a BIG BOY! Last weekend we made a transition to a big boy car seat (a booster type car seat that still has the 5 point harness until he is 40lbs) and we removed the railing from his crib to convert to a toddler bed. He absolutely loves it. He came out of his room after a nap in his big boy bed and was so proud, grinning ear to ear and he said "Hi Mom, I'm Big". Only once did we have a problem when we put him down for a nap he got out of bed and started playing with his airport in his room. I told him he had to go back to bed and he did . . . is this kid for real?? If you only knew the struggles I had with Blake staying in his bed and sleeping in general, I guess I deserve a kid like this the second time around!!
We do put a gate in the doorway to his room at night so he doesn't get up and wander down the stairs, but Bryce has a hard time understanding this. He woke up the first morning and yelled out "Daddy? I'm in jail?"
He has also become very interested in the potty. He can't stand when he his diaper is dirty or wet and he asks to sit on the potty every time he is changed. He has never actually done anything on the potty but it is definitely a step in the right direction. I cannot even imagine not having any kids in diapers!!!!!!!!
While taking a picture of Bryce in his big boy bed, Blake insisted he needed a picture in his bed, too, so there you see my two boys, growing up so fast.
Bryce has been helping out around the house while I'm not feeling well, he does a fine job with the vacuum.
