Big brother is a big boy!

 

I'll admit I was terrified to potty train. I had heard so many stories of terrible experiences and the best advice seemed to be, "wait til he's 3." So, I was waiting. But, then he just seemed very interested and I decided to go with it. He basically potty trained himself and it was a pleasant experience that might go on record as our easiest child training exercise to date.

When he gives "sugar" (kisses) it usually has to be three-a kiss on each cheek and one on the forehead. Might be my favorite thing he does right now. But maybe everything he does is my favorite...oh, except for yelling no and stop or stop it. ;)

He says will'nt. (his own special contraction of will not, haha.)

We finally cut his hair.

 A regular part of our bed time routine right now is him saying, "Mama, I have a couple of questions for you.  I like trucks, trains, airplanes, helicopters, cement trucks, tractors, buses, puppy dogs, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter sandwiches."  The lists usually go on and sometimes repeat. ;). I think it's so cute that I don't have the heart to tell him those are not questions.  He will figure it out soon enough.

He was excited about his haircut and the new book, but did not want to take this photo.

I loved how he was sitting with his arms behind his head.

Neither kid was super interested in taking the below photo...
