Braxton's Birthday Party!!!

We had Braxton's Birthday Party yesterday at Nickel Mania( again..) As you can see, we had a great time! There were about 8 kids there, 22 if you count Peyton:) but my dad and my GREAT friend Jenn came to help me out. Dee had a dental surgery the day before so lucky for him, he was out of commission. Braxton scored some great presents and fun was had by all! I came home and took a nap!

Final Ode to the Binky

So I have to admit its kind of sad seeing my baby without this green binky. Dont get me wrong, Im so HAPPY its finally gone and not an issue anymore, But it also means my little Peyton is growing up! He is getting so big! I love him more and more everyday:) I found these pictures and thought Id give one more shout out to the old binky- Im serious when I say this kid did not leave the house without this thing.

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!!
