We are so excited that our holiday week with the family is here! Right now we are at my parents' house, trying to figure out how to get cookies that I made for my extended family out of my freezer in Dayton while we are here in Indianapolis! Yeah... that is going to be interesting.
Last week was a week for accomplishments! Sydney FINALLY decided to make her "eggs" in the potty and not in her pants!! Wow! What a milestone for her! We were so excited!! And thankfully she has kept on it. She went into the bathroom all by herself and shut the door and did her business. she waited until we noticed that she was gone and Jerry went to check on her... needless to say we were so incredibly excited we made a big deal about it. Once the "fanfare" died down Jerry said, "Who knew she just needed privacy?!" She asked for her baby toys too (we had taken them away when she kept pooping in her pants) and that was so sweet. Her little shy voice came out and said, "Now I can have my baby toys?" She has been having fun playing mommy again with all her accessories!
Caleb discovered his tongue last week. That is pretty funny to see. He will be sitting there chilling out on your lap and looking around and the next thing you know, his little tongue is sticking out of his mouth and he's looking around wiggling his tongue as his head swivels. We joke that he is "tasting for danger"! He is such a funny baby! He loves any attention that you give him and just smiles most of the time. He also watches his feet when he is in sleepers with little doggies on his feet. He has two of them and it is pretty funny to watch him when he has them on. We also noticed that he is trying to roll over! He can roll from side to side and almost has back to belly. A little longer and he will have it. The child can lift his whole chest off the ground and pulls his knees up so his bum is way up in the air too... Once he gets them going together, we are going to be in trouble!! He will be EVERYWHERE all the time! ha!!
Jay got to spend the night with his Aunt Mary and Uncle Casey on Sunday night and that was a lot of fun for him! He really enjoyed his time alone with them. We picked him up on the way through to my parents' and he was happy to us but seemed to forget there for a bit just how he was supposed to interact with his siblings! It's tough being the oldest! On our way home we are going to drop Anna off to have her time with Aunt Mary and Uncle Casey. She is totatlly excited! She can't wait! She's counting the days!
I almost forgot our most funny story of last week!! Jerry and I bought a king size mattress for our Christmas. We had Jerry's dad pick it up in his trailer and bring it over for us, with the understanding that we would pay for his diesel that he used to get here and back. Well the man who sold us our set, was not the man that gave my FIL the set. So they (my in-laws) get all the way over to Dayton and shortly after, the mattress company calls.... the guy gave my FIL the wrong mattress! And of course it isn't a step UP, it is a step down! AND there is a customer waiting for it! After discussing it, Jerry and his dad decided to go back to Brownsburg that day and switch the mattresses out... It was 6:30 by the time they got back. I had taken down our bed (with a little help) and moved it to the guest bedroom and had all the parts open and ready for the guys when they got back. We thought it would be tough getting the mattress upstairs... well, tough wasn't the word for it! Our cieling was 4 inches too short... or rather the mattress was 4 inches too wide!! We pushed, and pulled, and heaved and hoed and all that for about a good hour before we got that sucker up the stairs. It was a chore! Our cieling has the little popcorn effect on it... and yeah, it doesn't have that so much anymore above our stairs now! It is all smooth now! We are going to watch the movers when they go to move it out of our house and see if they have as hard a time as we did!! It took Jerry, his dad, his sister, and me to get it up there! It was no small feat to say the least but VERY worth it! It sleeps so well! Our kids have to use our hope chest to climb up on our bed because it is so high! Our bed is very nice! I can't wait to go home and sleep in it again!!
We wish you all a Merry Christmas! I will have to put our kid's pictures on the bottom! I finally got an updated one of all of them on Sunday! They are pretty cute kids!
