Sorry for the delayed post; haven't been very motivated this week - you'll see why when you get to the Favorite Things!
Up:
- Whew! This has been such a long week; I started potty training Jackson on Monday and he is doing better every day! So proud of my little guy. He gets a sticker every time he goes in the potty (big stickers for poops)! Once he gets 8 stickers, he gets a prize. He really doesn't care what the prize is, just the way you say it! Like the other night his prize was extra bubbles in his bath! At any rate, he is doing great and is such a big boy in his little Mickey underwear! Today he went 2.5 hours without going at all and no accidents and even woke up from his nap to go poo, pretty impressive for week one I'd say!

| Check out my big boy underpants! |
- Our beautiful girl is already 10 months old, time is seriously flying by with her. She is absolutely on the verge of walking and has been taking one step here or there mostly towards Jackson! She is also working on getting her top teeth in which hasn't made her very pleasant to be around come bedtime.
 |
| Oh, and this is a size 18mo. top! |
- The older Kennedy gets, the more she and Jackson play and get along together. It is adorable to see how much they love each other. Granted they both have their moments of weakness with this, but honestly the majority of the time they are so good to each other. It is so cute too when Kennedy is up from her nap before Jackson because she constantly looks at the stairs waiting for him to come play with her! When he wakes up before Kennedy he wants to be the first one to open her door when we hear her on the monitor and runs upstairs to see her! Love those two!
 |
| This is how Kennedy crawls in the grass! |
 |
| She is notorious for taking every magnet off the dishwasher and refrigerator! |
 |
| Jackson is always really good about cleaning up Kennedy's mess when I ask. I think I may have created an OCD child though. This is how he put them back on the fridge which is how I had done it before! Of course we have to fish the other halves out from under the stove! |
- We had Jackson's Mother's Day Out (MDO) Open House this week. It was his first time seeing his teachers since last school year. He went right up and gave them huge hugs - adorable! He will be in the two year old class again this year. He was actually only 16 months when he started going last year, so he still fits the criteria for the 2 year old class. I think it'll be good for him though especially since he's so attached to the teachers already.
Down:
- Church was not as successful this week as last. Jackson was really pushing my buttons. Thankfully our neighbor was in the row in front of us with her daughter and they helped keep us entertained/contained!
- More of the same on the sleep subject - except this week it was JP and Kennedy. I'm really ready for Mike to give home to give me some what of a break even if it's only one night out of the week!
Favorite Thing:
My Mother-in-law lent me her copies of
Downton Abbey seasons 1 & 2. OH MY GOSH - SO ADDICTING!!! I love period pieces to begin with, but this one is really well done. I spent every nap time and bedtime after the kids were asleep glued to the tube! I even stayed up 'til midnight to finish the second season one night, which if you knew me is a big thing! Therefore, I've been absolutely unproductive this week! The worst part of starting this show now is that the season 3 premiere doesn't happen until January 2013. I guess it will be a good exercise of my patience! You should really check it out though and get caught up so you too can watch season 3 in January!
