Mother's Day Tea

-
On Thursday at Carter's preschool, they had a mother's day tea.  Carter didn't talk about it much and I wasn't sure if it was something he was really into at all.  I was so excited to go and just have time with him.  Aunt Katie came over to save the day and go to playgroup with Landon and Nolan so I could have quality time with Carter.  When I arrived Carter walked me to our table which was set up for a tea party.  We each had a tea cup and saucer along with a small plate.  He decided to make me a cucumber sandwich and he had goldfish and marshmallows.  Once we sat down he gave me this card he had made.  It is covered in jewel stickers and he had to tell me all about the colors and shapes.
 He poured me and himself pink lemonade into our fancy teacups. As he was drinking he told me that he had to put his pinkie out while he drank because his teachers taught him to do that when you drink out of fancy cups.  This made me laugh out loud!

After we all ate a snack and drank some lemonade, the kids all got up to sing us a song.  It was "Skidamerink".  This is one of my favorite songs to sing to and with the boys.  Carter sang the song and pointed to me when they sang, "I Love U".  Not sure if it is my hormones but I teared up.  


He also made me a yarn necklace with the bead letters MOM on it.  I already had a necklace on so I asked him if he wanted me to take it off and put on his.  He said, "Yes, Mom because this necklace says MOM and it means I love you more every day." My heart melted right then and there.  I have never heard him say such sweet things to me.  It is crazy to see how just one special day for moms can bring out the best in their kids.  I had such an amazing time with him that I have trouble finding the words to express how proud I am of how well he is growing up.  Each step of his life is something I never ever want to forget!

The happiest Mom!

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! There is just something so cute about seein

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 for Florida to se

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 about this and often begs Landon to go potty so he
