Jesse is starting to read

Ok so he's only reading a few words, but hey he's 4 so that is totally amazing right? Jesse amazes me every day. Each milestone is such a big deal around here. I remember when he first walked I shrieked and started crying and well it scared him so he didn't walk for another 2 months, but wow it was like the best thing ever and we worked so hard to get to that point. Now he can read his name, yes, no, stop, go, and bus. We got him some flip books that have the word and a picture with it from The Lakeshore Learning catalog and I love watching him point to the letters of the words and say the letters. He is so excited about learning and I love that about him.

Now I'm off to clean up the mess Jesse left for me when he went to bed. I'll try to post again soon.

It's our Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. We've made it 6 years. We've had a lot of trying times, but love makes it all work out in the end.

Christmas Eve

So it's Christmas Eve and I can't wait until morning to see the look on Jesse's face when he sees all his gifts. Anyway, it's almost midnight and Santa has already been here so I guess it's time I let the dog out and head to bed. Tony will be home in the morning and we'll have our Christmas. Jesse will get to play with his toys for a little while then we hit the road after lunch to head to Tony's moms. When we get home I'll post about our Christmas. Until then Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Potty Training

We've been putting Jesse on the potty off and on for months and nothing. We've sat him on the potty with a sippy cup of juice or milk and nothing. I have always joked that we could let him run around naked and he wouldn't pee unless he was in a diaper or the bathtub. Jesse surprised me while Tony was deployed and went potty once, but nothing since then........ until tonight. I had just gotten bath water run for Jesse and I put him on the potty for a few minutes. After a few minutes I heard it.... yep Jesse totally went number 1. I am so proud of him. He is growing up more and more every day. He's helping me around the house with taking care of dirty diapers and picking up toys. Anyway, I know I've been bad at updating so I thought tonight's accomplishment was good cause for one so here ya are. Now, it's off to let the dog out and get a lunch box ready for Jesse in the morning.
