Signs our boys are growing up

My little "peanut" finally reached 20 lbs, graduated from his infant seat into a toddler seat and gets to face forward. The expression of pure joy in his face when I first put him in Tyler's old carseat was priceless. What a big boy.

Potty training finally "clicked" for Tyler these past few weeks and he's doing awesome at staying dry and even stopping playing to use the potty. This has made my life so much easier. We some how ended up with two training potties so the smaller one has become Bryce's. Whenever I tell Tyler "Its time to go potty." Bryce immediately books it down the hall to go sit on his own little potty. What a smart kid.

Bryce has also reached the age of exploring new "heights" of trouble. He's learned to get into the trash and even adjust the fire on the gas stove (yikes!) Hence the new childproof knobs on our stove. He looks a little disappointed huh?

I decided last spring to wait another year to enroll Tyler in preschool. Last week he heard about a few of his cousins starting school and preschool. He woke up one morning last week, got dressed, put on his new "school shoes," his backpack and his lunchbox and announced that he wanted me to drop him off at school. He kept begging me and telling me he was big enough to go. It broke my heart. We have set up some social playgroups, story time, and even swimming lessons to have some "big guy" social experiences this year.
