Conversation with Braxton..

Me: Braxton, how was Seths house? ( one of his friends that lives a few houses down)
Braxton: It was good.
Me: What did you do there?
Braxton: Just hung out.
Me: Did you and Seth get along?
Braxton: Seth wasnt there.
Me: Excuse me!
Braxton: He was at one of his friends houses and his mom told me I could come in and play.
Me: Are you serious? What were you doing there?!
Braxton: Just hangin out. I played his PSP in his room.
Me: Speechless...

Really? Most kids would come home if their friends couldnt play Right? Nope. Not this guy! I love Braxton, He will keep me having great stories to tell for the rest of my life!

Bye Bye Binky!!

We took Peytons binky away! We are on day 4 and its going suprisingly well. I always said I would take it away when he turned 2. Well he has been 2 for almost 3 months:) ( Thursday he went to grandma's house and apparently he left it there-Peyton will only take the newborn green soothie binky, I swear we have bought at least 50 packages of these dang things. One day we would have 20 of them and the next we would have none- I swear when we move they will all show up and we will be able to open a binky store! ) Anyway, he woke up at 2 in the morning freaking out cause he didnt have his beloved binky. I was frantically looking under every nook and cranny trying to find this thing- no luck. So thats how we "decided" to take away the binky. I decided we better take the bull by the horns and just do it- I figure we might as well get all the 3 hour, 2 in the morning tantrums out of the way now. Im glad it happened the way it did though. I needed that push. I swear it was just as much for me as it was for him. I thought he would die if he didnt have it- It kept him happy so therefore it kept me happy:) He is doing really well though. He still asks for it occasionally but not as much as I thought he would. I told him it broke- and he is a big boy and only babies have binkys- he just laughs and says "oh gosh!" Now we can move on to the next venture:)

Potty Training- Phase 2

Are these not the cutest little underoos you have ever seen? We are potty training.. again. He showed interest in going potty a couple months ago but then stopped completely until now. I figure we are still ahead since he just barely turned 2 end of December. He had big boy underwear on yesterday for like 5 hours without any accidents- Way to go PEY PEY!!

My Valentines...

I LOVE Valentines Day, I think its so fun to have a reason to suprise the boys with little fun toys and candy. We always make a special treat, usually its chocolate covered strawberries and raspberries. I always try to find ways make it a fun day.

To my two "little" Valentines,

BRAXTON-

You always like to try new things and meet new people, you can make a new friend anywhere we go. You are so handsome. Girls have always loved you! You have always been my little sidekick. It was you and I for almost 4 and a half years! We took you EVERYWHERE! You always were such a good baby, we could take you anywhere and you were content. You are such a good big brother. I know Pey can be mean at times but, he loves you so much and I am so glad he has such a great example to look up too. I love how sweet and sensitive you are. You always help me out. I love seeing things through your eyes. I love all the funny things you say. You are so smart. Too smart sometimes for your own good. You are a good skiier. You have some pretty good dance moves. You are good at reminding me of things. You are responsible. You are a good swimmer. You take directions very well. You get 100% on your spelling tests all the time! You are a great shopping buddy.

PEYTON-
My little sweet pey-pey. You are my baby. I have always been so protective of you since the day you were born. You are so beautiful. Everyone always has something to say about your dashing good looks. Mostly your eyes and your curly curly hair. You are a handful but, I wouldnt have you be any other way. You keep me on my toes. You have taught me to be more patient. I love how you wake me up in the mornings- yelling MOM, GET ME OUT! ME POOPED! I have never seen a child on such a schedule as you are. You make me smile. You know when you are naughty and I can never stay mad at you- even if you did color all over mommy's white leather couch with permanent marker. You are growing up so fast- It makes me sad you are not a baby anymore. It makes me excited for the fun times to come. I love that you carry around your blanky and always have to have your binky. You remind me of Linus on Snoopy. I love our cuddle time watching Blues Clues before you go to bed. You make me smile. I love you more and more each day. You bring so much joy to my life, I am so blessed to have you!
