Dentist Checkup!

Grayden had his first Dentist appointment yesterday! he did so awesome!! We found out he had FIVE cavities!! I was so shocked because we've always brushed his teeth so good! We always brushed but his teeth were so spaced apart we never thought to floss but all his cavities were inbetween his teeth :( I was so bummed and felt like a terrible parent lol

2 1/2 years!

Daxtin is half way to be being THREE today! I have SO been looking farward to this post because you have changed SO MUCH in the last 6 months! Where do I even begin! I cant believe how much you can talk! You can say full sentences and you comletely understand what we want from you. You are such a sweet little spirit (always have been) and you just draw everyone too you! You are a big time momma's boy (what else is new) You want mommy to do everything for you and you have such a hard time when mommy leaves you to go anywhere! I have found that sneaking out when you weren't looking was NOT the best way to go about leaving you. I have realized lately that if I explain to you that mommy is just leaving to do some stuff and that I will be right back-my departure isn't as traumatic as when you find Out I've magically disappeared. Your sad and keep asking me if you can come but then I just tell you to wave at me through the window and you seem to do ok. love when I find things that work in parenting! You are such a picky eater!! You don't really eat anything now that I think about it. *The only vegetables you eat are carrots, sugar snap peas, and sometimes broccoli and cucumber! You love hummus dip. Anything that has toppings you call yucky! *You aren't picky with your fruits (of course) pretty sure you eat any fruit I give you. *Your favorite supper is probably spaghetti *favorite breakfast is pancakes *favorite lunch is grilled cheese and ketchup (i think you'll eat anything with ketchup) *your favorite thing to do is be outside! Everyday of my life "OUTSIDE,OUTSIDE,OUTSIDE" *you love to your ride your bike and anything that has wheels for that matter *your still in love with trains but play mostly avengers with your brother all day and bat man or should I say "dark night backman as daxtin calls it" You go to sleep in your crib but usually wake up and end up in my bed. I must admit you are the BEST alarm clock ever! . COME, MOMMY COOOMMMMEEE, MOMMY COOOMMMEEE right in my face! Its just music to my ears!! Or u start pulling at my arm when your standing beside me in bed and saying as you pull, "wake up mommy, or I dont want to seep anymoe, or go downstairs to play" UGGHHH!!! You say the cutest things!

Grays 4 1/2

Grayden is almos FIVE! That age just seems so old to me! Gray starts another year of pre-school this year and when I was shopping for him I had to leave the toddler area at joes to the "big boy" section!! boy that was a moment! You are getting so big! your 43" tall and 40lbs! Whats new with Grayden in the last 6 months... We are in the "testing mommy and daddy" phase! Gray is in a really defiant stage right now where he is testing us big time and we are having to crack down more than ever. He is very hard at listening these days and testing every patience we have! He can be very difficult at times with his LOUD, OBNOXIOUS behaviour but he can be as sweet as ever the next! He is such a loving tender boy and very caring....lets just say he's a typical 4 year old boy! Im so excited for him to start pree-school again this year as well as another year of speech therapy! He is going to learn and grow so much! *Gray is not a picky eater and pretty much will eat anything as long as he's in the "mood" for it *loves to be out side just like his younger brother *loves to play avengers, batman, ghost busters, and spiderman *you have also gotten into mario and nintendo with your dad these last few couple of months *You are so excited for christmas this year and have circled pretty much everything in the christmas wish catalogue. I noticed a pic of jesus circled and it was the only thing circled on the page. I asked you what this was and you said, "its a picture of Jesus for my room" :) melted my heart. This age of yours have been really fun for Cody! You used to be SUCH a mommas boy but you are starting to let that go and really do some fun things with your dad! You adore your Dad :-)

No more diapers! !

With a snap of a finger Daxtin finally gets it! He refuses to go to the bathroom in his diaper :-) Best day of my life! He is officially fully potty trained! Its been almost 5 years of buying and changing crappy diapers, and now we are FREEEEee!! It feels awesome! So proud of you baby Dax :-) Daxtin in his BIG BOY underwear :)
