Big Boy!

Kade is successfully in a big boy bed....well, a mattress on the floor anyway until the big boy bed is assembled! Yay! He's really getting into being a "big boy" and all that goes along with that. We started talking about how big boys don't wear diapers, they go potty on the toilet. He has avoided the toilet like the plague in the past but now is all about sitting on it because he's a big boy. Oh yeah! Hopefully he'll be out of diapers soon!


Ellie absolutely loves shoes and getting her hair done. What a cute little girl! She will bring her shoes to me and say "on" or bring me the comb and say "hair!" It's adorable. She says "dah" for yes and just shakes her head for no. It's pretty cute when I am listing things to eat and I get to something she wants she'll enthusiastically say "Dah!"


The kids both love going for walks and to the park now that it is getting cooler. We'll go for runs in the jogging stroller and point out everything we see. The latest that I taught them today is about red and green lights at the intersections. Red means stop and green means go. Kade waits for it to turn green then says "GO mommy!"


Kade loves everything trains and so we got him a train table that has tracks you can build yourself and about 10 trains. He basically drives the trains around and around the tracks all day. He loves it so much. Ellie plays with him, too but hasn't quite figured out how to keep them on the tracks. She is into climbing on everything now and is really starting the phase of wanting what she wants when she wants it. I have had to practice a lot of patience and bribery to get her into her high chair and car seat :)


Camille is loving cheerleading and I have been able to see her do her half time shows a couple of times. She is a flyer and really enjoys all the stunts they do in cheer. She just started softball for young women and plays first base. Her leaders said they can't believe she's never played before! She is just a natural at any sport she tries :) So far, 7th grade is good!
