The Boone Family First Flight!

-





Bob had training for his job in Charlotte, NC this weekend so the boys and I decided to join him. I had a doctor's appointment early Thursday morning down in Bucyrus and then mom, the boys and I headed down to the Columbus airport. This was the first time the boys had ever flown so I was nervous and excited. When we got on the plane the flight attendant told us that the flight had empty seats and that he would leave the seats next to us open. Amazing!! The boys did great! Landon fell asleep half way through. Carter and I colored, read books, and stared out the window! Carter fell asleep 2 minutes before we landed but it was fine. Mom and I had a boy in an umbrella stroller, a bag, and a carry-on on wheels. We looked insane but it was fine. Friday we went to see my dearest friends from college, Eric and Megan Greiser. They live in Charlotte. On Saturday we took the boys to Discovery Place Kids. This was the coolest place ever. They had things for the boys to climb on, play on, create, splash, etc. We had a blast. The weather was over 80 degrees so afterwards we headed back to their house and played in the backyard. The boys played with bubbles, corn hole, chalk, and a ball. I am a sunburned lobster. If you know me, you know that I wanted to soak up every little bit of sun I could. Definitely not the smartest life decision. I am paying for it today! The flight home was very good! Both boys slept from take off to landing! Now that we have this adventure under our belt--look out!

Landon has two bottom teeth that are about the cutest thing I have ever seen. I love to hear him run his tongue over them. Carter is now starting to become possessive over EVERYTHING. He will say "Mine" and it is driving me nuts! I have to constantly say it may be yours but please share! Wow, I didn't think the idea of sharing would be this difficult. It is exhausting!

Now that the weather is getting nice...well, I guess it wants to be nice out, we have started wearing short sleeve shirts. Carter freaks out and tries to pull the sleeves down. I think this is a transitional thing that too will pass.

I am looking forward to the summer!

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...
