Playdate

Tonight the boys and I went and visited with Nora and her kids. It has been a long time since we got the kids all together to play. I think it was summer when she came over here last, so we finally set a date for all the kids to get together. The boys were very good playing with Nora's kids. Nora has twin boys who are just over 2 and a daughter who is 4. We went over there for pizza and play. Fun was had by all. Sorry, I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures.

New car seats

The boys have upgraded to the last car seat. They are now in boosters. My little boys are growing up. They look so small though in the car with their new car seats. Here they are sitting in them in the house just after I put them together.

Shopping cart 1, Isaac 0

Last night I took the boys to Walmart so that I could pick up a prescription I needed. Everything was going fine. I had Isaac in the big part of the shopping cart and Brady was standing behind it helping "push" the cart. We were standing in line waiting to pick up my prescription. Isaac was standing in the cart, but was behaving himself pretty well. I looked away for a second, and then looked back to find Isaac falling face first out of the cart. Needless to say, it scared the crap out of me. He started crying almost immediately. I tried calming him down and looked him over. At first I couldn't see anything, but then after a few seconds, I saw blood starting to form in his mouth. I then started to look to see if any of his teeth were loose or determine what it was that was bleeding. He was crying so hard and I couldn't get him to calm down, so I took both boys to the front of the store by the clinic so that I could at least get the boys to sit down and I could take a closer look at Isaac. I couldn't really see anything seriously wrong, but he was just looking worse by the second. Brady was very good this entire time. He just stood by me or sat on the chair the entire time. I ended up taking Isaac to the emergency room just to be on the safe side. On the car ride over, he had calmed down and by the time we got to the ER he was almost to his normal self, which was a good sign. I just wanted to make sure he was alright. That kid is a tough kid, because he was just fine. He had a fat lip and I bruised his nose, but other than that was fine.

Potty training update

Sorry, it has been awhile since I've posted. Its been busy around here. The potty training had been going fairly well, until recently. Now Isaac doesn't seem to interested in it at all. He will maybe go once a day, if we are lucky. The last few days he hasn't even gone in the potty at all, but he did go in the tub after his bath when I told him to go.

More evidence that Isaac is growing up

This morning Isaac decided he didn't want to be in his crib anymore. I could hear some noises, but couldn't figure out what was going on. I just thought maybe they were throwing things or just doing weird things in their cribs.

I was just about to go get them out of their cribs when all of a sudden the door opened and in walked Isaac. I guess the noises I had heard were of him getting out of his crib. Shawn said he heard Isaac say bye to his brother, so he had wondered what was going on as well until the door opened up. I am going to still leave them in their cribs until the next time Isaac decides to get out. Then the toddler beds will come out. I guess it is pretty good to make it to 32 months before having to get out the toddler beds.

Isaac's potty training is doing pretty good. He was dry for several hours after I had changed him in the morning, so I brought him back to the bathroom to see if he had to go and he went. Then when I came back home after shopping I brought him back to the bathroom again. His diaper was wet this time, but not much. I asked him to go again, and he went. I have just bought some Pull Ups, so we shall see how well those work. They are the cool learning ones, so if he goes to the potty in them, they will feel cool to the skin. I told him to tell either mommy or daddy if he has to go potty before he goes in his diaper.

I'm a big boy!!

Guess, what?!? Isaac went potty in his toilet tonight. I was getting them ready to go to bed and he was acting like he needed his diaper changed. I took his diaper off and he was dry, so I put it back on. Then we was like, potty, potty. So I took him out of the crib and brought him to the bathroom. I took his diaper back off and he sat down on the toilet. After a few seconds he started going and he went quite a bit. It was so exciting. My little boy is growing up :( I figured he would be the first to actually go, because he keeps saying potty all the time.
