Noah learning to crawl

Brothers











I so enjoy watching my boys play together! Cole loves to help me with Noah too, whether it be feeding him or entertaining him on the floor. They are just so cute together :)




Potty Training

I just started getting more serious about potty training with Cole the last few days. I figured he will be 3 in just a few weeks, so it's probably time. There have been some tears and he has been a little resistant, but overall, I am very proud of the effort he is making. He, like me, is very resistant to change, so this has been a challenge. We went to Target last night and let him pick out a bunch of underwear. He picked out Mickey Mouse and Sesame Street. Brian also got a bunch of little prizes (matchbox cars, stickers, balloons, etc.) and turned our china cabinet into the store (what Cole calls "the Stuff Mart"). Whenever Cole successfully goes on the toilet, he gets to pick something out from the store. He is so cute . . . after he went the first time today, he picked out a balloon for himself and for me so we could play together. We make a pretty big deal when he goes, so hopefully, he will hang in there and stay motivated despite the accidents. It's amazing how suddenly he seems like such a big boy to me! We have been homebound for the last few days to focus on our efforts, but I must admit, we have really enjoyed just playing together around the house. I so love playing all of the imaginary games with Cole. What a blessing to get to share all of these moments with him! He is such a sweet child with the kindest heart!

June 2010

We have enjoyed having my sister and her family in town the last couple weeks. The kids all love playing together so much, and it's sure fun to watch them all together. I just wish we lived closer! Noah got such a kick out of all the kids and had a constant smile on his face when they were around. Cole ate up all the attention too :)
