Spring Break and Potty Trained!!!

We had a great visit with Grammy at the end of February. She and Nate had a blast, despite the rainy weather the last day. We spent a day at Belmont Park going on little rides and playing games. Then Grammy and Nate hung out on Sunday and Bob and I escaped for lunch and a movie. I don't think Nate ever stopped talking and dragging Grammy around to see all his new stuff!

March hit quickly with only 2 weeks before my 2 week Spring Break and lots of events at school. So, I am thrilled to be on vacation! My last week we started putting Nate in pullups at home and he tried them a bit at school. We got him a new potty seat for the big potty and he was semi interested and doing pretty good at home, but reluctant at school. Then my last day of school I got off early and decided to just go and buy him a bunch of big boy underwear and try it out whenever we were home, since accidents were bound to happen. Sat. he started wearing his new underware and in 2 days we only had 1-2 accidents a day. My Monday he was doing awesome! We weren't sure how it would go at school, but he made it through his whole week at school without any accidents and only in pullups at naptime...but he woke up dry every day!!! YEAH Nate!!!! We are so proud of him and he loves his new freedom! A little too much at times...he has become quite the stripper lately and is very interested in shaking his bare bottom around the house and discovering his little body. Funny, but a bit awkward at times!

I took 3 days of the first week of my vacation to take care of stuff around then house and relax, as well as go to a doctor's appointment. Since then, Nate and I have been very busy! We hit the Wild Animal Park to see the Butterfly Exhibit that is only there for 3 weeks each Spring. Saturday we started swimming lessons again and Nate has become a pool addict. We spent Easter Sunday with family and friends at the Bay. We had a nice BBQ and Nate had a little Easter Egg Hunt (it will be more fun when there are more kids! But Nate had a blast!). Now we are enjoying our last week with walks, trips to the park and dog park, more swimming, etc. Thursday we will head up to Momom and Popah's house for a couple of day and then back to work. It goes by too fast!!! But with a busy 3rd trimester at school, hopefully the end of my pregnancy will fly by too. The baby is due the week after school gets out, so it will be a busy couple of months.



We are actively looking to buy a home and hope that all will fall into place in the next couple of months. We are bursting at the seams here, but it has been a good home for us for the past 7 years. We will keep everyone posted!

Hard to believe Nate will be turning 3 in a month! He continues to be very sweet and thoughtful. He loves giving his baby sister hugs and kisses and talks about her and being a big brother all the time. Hopefully he maintains those happy thoughts about her when she arrives.

Hope everyone is doing well. More news to come soon!
