Week Five: Coronavirus April 13-19

-
The sun is shining bright and the boys are loving the chance to get out and ride their scooters.  Recently they have been trying so hard to "get some air" as they ride them throughout the neighborhood. 
Nolan got an early birthday present...his red Razor scooter so he could join in with his brothers.



Wow, Landon that is a great jump!
On another trip to Oberlin to catch Pokemon and we stumbled upon this super cool rock structure.



Another week of online teaching for me...farm theme edition! 

Nolan has to be bribed to chat with his classmates but once he is online he is totally fine.  Leo is always featured in his chat.




Leo has become a great addition to our family.  His razor sharp puppy teeth are causing lots of tears, shrieks, and scratches all over our bodies. He is a cuddle bug and when the boys are too close he will put himself in his crate for some "alone time".

After his first vet appointment, we took him for a nature hike at Bacon Woods in Vermilion.  It was a muddy mess but he loved it.

One of the presents the boys got for Easter from us was a disc golf basket.  We have been playing in the backyard often.


Another puzzle complete! Cats and Dogs doing yoga!


We were pleasantly surprised when we woke up to quite a bit of snow one morning.  The snow was so slushy and wet but the boys still had a blast building a snowman, snow fort, and having a social distancing snowball fight across the street with neighbors.






One of our neighbors set up a zoom bingo night with lots of families in the neighborhood.  It was so much fun!  The boys totally needed to see all their friends!


The home projects continue.  Bob took down the glued corkboard from this wall in the kitchen.  The wall was pretty damaged when it was removed so he had to putty it up and sand it down.



It looks great!  I can't wait to share the finished project soon!


Bob got a moment to power wash the back patio with his new Westington House power washer and he was so proud of it!  The patio looks brand spanking new.Can you believe the before and after? 




More nature hikes with Leo



Nolan is so looking forward to his birthday next week April 24.

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...
