Happy Thanksgiving!

-
We just got back from Thanksgiving weekend! We traveled down to Bucyrus on Wednesday night and met up with from high school. Then had Hornak Thanksgiving on Thursday. Friday we went shopping around 9am. We decided to head to Toys R Us to try and pick up some baby things. However, the checkout line was wrapped from the front door all around the store to the check out. Bob was not in for waiting in that line-he said time is money! :) Next, we ventured to Old Navy where I got my first pair of maternity pants. What an interesting concept those things are. I got a pair of jeans with the fabric at the top that comes over the belly and a pair of khaki pants for school with the adjustable waistband. Bring on the belly! After we shopped til I dropped-i needed a nap on the way up to Michigan. We spent the evening with Bob's mom, sisters, and their family. We played Wii! Saturday morning we drove up to his Dad's for Thanksgiving dinner. We came back that evening to Bob's mom's house and then drove home this afternoon. We needed a nap. Bob is loving this nap thing-everytime I need a nap he graciously offers to join me for the nap! Too cute. We have our next doctor's appointment tomorrow, so check back to see the latest!

No more diapers

It is official…the Boone family is diaper free!  After six long years of buying, changing, and disposing of dirty diapers we are finally done with those!  It is kinda crazy to think we don't have to carry a huge diaper bag full of diapers, wipes, rash cream, and extra clothes in case of a blow out. Around December Nolan began to be interested in the idea of going potty on the potty.  He would come into the bathroom to watch everyone and when the boys were going he would press his diaper against the toilet to pretend.  The whole potty training process can be quite exhausting so for him and my best interest we decided to wait until summertime.  He was very quick start going on the potty.  I have to say, ugh how I hate the potty seat.  It is just the most disgusting thing ever!  I tried to get him to use the big potty with a seat insert but he was scared since it was so tall.   He looks like such a big boy on the potty seat!

Nolan's First Bath and a Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Boone

On day 10 the best thing happened...Nolan's umbilical cord fell off.  I tell you what when that happens I get so excited because it is stinkin gross and I am always worried I am going to hurt him.  We found it in his diaper during a diaper change and Carter shouted, "Mommy Nolan's vilical cord came off!" I cracked up!  He knew that when that happened he now gets to take a bath in his big boy bath tub.  We quickly got out the tub and filled it with water.  The boys each grabbed a washcloth and helped to clean Nolan.  Nolan cried at first but as soon as Carter and Landon started to help he was calm as a cucumber.  They loved to squeeze the water on his body and wash his tummy. I gave Nolan a bath a few days later by myself and he screamed the whole time at the top of his lungs.  From that day forward I am sure the boys have to help me give him bath to keep him calm. Last week Bob's dad Arlin and Barb stopped through on their way home ...

Potty Master and No Nap Magee

Changes are coming our way fast!  Having two in diapers is costly...believe me we have done it before and my wallet is still crying.  As we approach the birth of baby #3 getting Landon out of diapers became a top priority.  He was not really interested and almost kinda scared at first.  He could and would tell me as soon as he finished going potty in his diaper that he needed to be changed.  He was also waking up in the morning with a dry night time diaper.  This was a sign for me to start pushing him into big boy underpants.  I don't mess around with pull ups we just switch to underpants cold turkey and just carry quite a few change of clothes with us.  When he realized that he was wearing underpants just like Carter he was hooked.  It took about two weeks of hard core potty training but he is going on the potty like a champ.  Every time he goes on the potty we all celebrate and everyone gets a treat.  Carter is extremely excited a...
