On Friday when I went to pick up the kids from the sitter's, my mom happened to be walking by with Milo. (She was dog-sitting for Casey and Wes while they were out of town.) So she asked if Will could walk home (to our house) instead. It's maybe a quarter mile and they even ran part of the way. Good exercise and practice for our upcoming race! P.S.- We're loving our new L.L.Bean hooded, zip-up fleeces for the kids. They're both actually a little big 'cause we bought them in 3T and 12-18mos respectively but we just roll the sleeves. They're so cozy and soft! I love L.L.Bean for outerwear! They both already have winter coats and hats for next year and Sophie has a windbreaker/rain-type jacket for 12-18mos too.
Just cute. I was putting away laundry in her room.
Will had an EXCELLENT potty weekend!!! He wore underwear all weekend except for nap and bedtime. He did have two accidents on Saturday, but I really think that helped him recognize and he was perfect on Sunday, even staying dry for nap. Now this week, our babysitter is going to start following through with it and taking him regularly to the potty. He has to wear pull-ups to her house, but hopefully he'll get this down once and for all! Go Will!!
While we're on the subject... Sophie got quite a bit of naked-butt time this weekend in an effort to clear up a little redness she's been suffering from. Poor girl has been pooping before I come down to get her in the mornings and I don't know what to do about it! She doesn't really let me know and I'm not going to wake her to check. Hopefully it's just a phase. It's not every day. And her tush looks much better today. She loves to dig into her dresser drawers.
Cute expression.
Another funny expression. We were drawing farm animals on his magnetic drawing toy and he was asking me to draw a pig next.
Interesting choice of wardrobe. His idea, not mine. These jammies are from our friend Griffin and they are clearly a favorite as I'm sure you've noticed in my pictures. They often get washed and worn again immediately. Thankfully they're 3T so they should fit for awhile.
This one cracks me up. He was reading a book on his bed.
We pulled open the dark, Roman shades this weekend to brighten the room up a bit.
Ready to go on another walk. Here's Sophie's Bean fleece.
It was pretty windy outside, which made the temperature feel a lot colder than it was.
Will looks thrilled, don't you think? This was his idea and I asked him several times if he was sure he wanted to walk and he said yes. Good thing we still have the muff thing on the stroller to block the wind. And I pulled the sleep/head cover of the carrier (it's the green thing) up over Sophie to block wind for her. We probably should've just stayed home, but instead we walked over to Nana's!
I can't remember the last time I went to my parents house for no reason. My mom's always doing favors for me and helping me out here and there and I never just stop by to visit and say "hey, how are YOU?" So our walk did end up being fun and purposeful.
Sophie's sitting in my old, child-sized rocker. It stays at mom and dad's because we have no room for it!
