Gavin's bed-time fiasco---update!

I thought it would be about time to updat ya'll on Gavin's bed-time issue! He is doing MUCH better! We have actually tried a new thing. We lay in his bed together....I tickle his back a little...usually he is out before long. It's WAY better! He settles down faster doing it this way and he is actually laying down in his bed so he knows that it's time to sleep. I will gradually get to the point where I will just put him in his bed and say "I love you, Goodnight" and leave and he will just go to sleep! It is so much less stressful now! I am so proud of him!

This coming week I am going to take on potty training. I bought him a sleek new potty and some of those training underwear with pastic covers and I am going to tackle it head on! He wore his underwear around last night for a little bit and peed in them and got to feel what it's like...he wanted it changed RIGHT AWAY! So I explained where to put his peepee and he went and sat on it....even though he already wet his underwear...so I'm hoping it won't take long for him to figure it out! Please pray for him to catch on quickly and for me to have patience!! I will keep ya'll updated on his progress!!

This is a story that my sister had on her blog about my nephew and it was just too cute to pass up! I had to share it with all the others that read my blog!! My nephew, Brayden or B, is 4....will be 5 this month...he's definitely got it right here!!

This morning I had the news on waiting for the weather and a commercial came on about Obama.

B says,"Mom, they just said that he was going to change Washington!!"

"What do you think that means B?"

"I don't know, but it can't be good."

Hope ya'll enjoyed that! I thought it was adorable....and true! Thanks for the laugh B!!

good times with good friends

The other night we had some fun with friends of ours. We went to the Higgins house (Chris and Kristin)...they have 3 little girls (well 4, but Makayla lives in Texas) Britlyn, Kylea, and Jadeyn. Also Rocky and Lindsey came with there little girl Laney...Gavin is out numbered, but he still has just as much fun! I think most of G's friends are girls....he does well with the ladies! :0) We ate some yummy food and then the guys stayed inside for "Man Time" while playing football on the Wii. Us gals went outside with all the kids. They played with the hose (Gavin got soaked) and jumped on their trampoline....and ran around the backyard. All of us girls had a turn jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Fun was had by all!! We are so lucky to have made such great friends so fast! We are able to joke around and make fun of eachother...all in good fun, deep down we all love eachother and would probably do just about anything to help one another out! (Am I right, guys?) Anywho...here are some pictures from that night!

They had a lot of fun playing with the hose!
