Here we go again...



Well, we are at it again. Steven has been informing us lately that he wants to go "potty". He'll run up to you and pat his diaper saying, "Potty! Diaper off!" Out of the 20 times I've entertained his idea, he has actually gone potty about 4 times! Yeah! When we get back from Salt Lake next week, I'll officially begin my Potty Training Boot Camp with him. :) Hopefully it'll really stick by the time the baby gets here! Wish us luck.

David Turns 3!!!


Hello all! Our sweet little boy turned 3 years-old yesterday! I can hardly believe it! It seems like overnight that he has gone from my baby boy to my action-figure-playing little boy! He still finds time to snuggle with Mom & Dad though, so that helps with the growing pains. :)
We threw David a little birthday party at "Daddy's hotel" on Saturday. He had a good time swimming with friends and family and eating his train cake and green ice cream. He was so excited to get TWO Iron Man action figures for his birthday! He hasn't let them out of his sight in 2 days. I will say, even with all this Super Hero play he does during the day, he still goes to sleep every night with his Pooh Bear in his arms. Such a sweetheart!

Kindermusik!!!

Hello all! I know it has been quite a while since my last post. Sorry. This pregnancy just swept me up and carried me away for a few months. I'm back now and so happy to write about David and Steven's new hobby... Kindermusik! I found this great class in town that the boys just love. Steven's class is a mommy & child class for 18 months-3 year olds. We go once a week for an hour and just have a ball. Steven gets to play instruments, we dance and listen to animal noises. By the end, he is so exhausted, he goes straight to sleep when we get home. (Which gets an A+ from Mommy!) David's class is a kid-only class for 3-5 year olds. I was a little nervous to see how he would listen to his teacher the first time, but he did great. He looks forward to music class every Wednesday. They play games with their instruments, dance, sing and learn about types of music and languages. They let the parents come for the last 10 minutes of class to watch. So cute! The video I have here is a game they play with different instruments. They listen to various sounds and music on a cd and try to figure out what instrument it is. David's still getting the hang of it. Oh, and sorry it's a little bouncy. It was the best I could do with Steven on my lap. :)
