Fun in the Sun

This morning we decided to pack a lunch ~ grab our swimsuits ~ call our friends ~ and head out to the local Splash Pad/Park.

It was a perfect day to go because the kids were ready to get wet at 10a.m. and it was warm enough to do just that.

We spent some time running around in the splash park ~ Jonathon is getting much better at walking instead of running and keeping his head up to see where he is going.  Then we found some shade to have lunch.  After that we played on the swings, slides and bounce animals.

Great day out with our closest friends.

                                                      Jonathon was able to climb very high with the help
                                                   of Nik and Andrew

                                                      Very Happy Boy

We really had a great day and I cannot believe how much Jonathon is becoming a big boy lately!  He climbed really high and it took lots of muscles to do it to just be able to fly down this slide.

We had an awesome day!

My baby is growing up....

At Christmas time I started putting Jonathon in bed instead of rocking him......
I still rocked him for naps though..........until recently

On Friday we went out for a few hours and got home after nap time so I just put him to bed and he went to sleep pretty fast and took a really good nap..........

On Saturday we had swimming at the Y and then I had to run a few errands so we got home late for lunch and it was already past nap time, so we had lunch and then I just put him to bed and again he went to sleep pretty fast and slept for over 2 hours........

Today we went to church in the morning and then came home and played......we had lunch on time and then when it was nap time I just put him to bed...... within 19 minutes he was fast asleep......

I am very proud of Jonathon that he stayed in his bed and didn't give me a problem.....on the other hand I am kinda sad....he doesn't need mommy to rock him anymore.....

I guess he is growing up......

Wordless Wednesday

Friday July 16th - Birthday Day

Jonathon turned 3 on Friday! The time has flown by since he was born.  I am so honored that God chose me to be Jonathon's mom.  He has taught me so much in these 3 years and I know he will teach all of us alot more.

We had a regular birthday day on Friday with him and then we had a huge family party on Sunday for him.

We had lots of food, swimming, games and are very glad that everyone made it out to see and celebrate with us.

And here is a picture of Jonathon with his favorite gift(thanks Mr. Randy).  Mr. Randy made this from scratch.  He went out and bought everything and then built it.

                                    after placing 300 balls we soon realized that we need lots more!

BAYORAMA 2010

Kenny, Jonathon and I packed up Sunday afternoon and headed out to New Baltimore to the Bayorama festival to support my sister.  My sister was running a hot dog stand (hot dog, chips, cookie, drink) for $5.00 to raise money for her 3 day walk(Breast Cancer) that is coming up in August.  My sister is a 6 year survivor! (HOORAY)  I love my sis very very much and will help her out in any way that I am able too.

Jonathon had a great time.  He played the duckie game and won a car.  After we chatted with Aunt Carol-Ann we went over to the swings, and playground and then headed down to the beach to walk/run in the water.  We went down the boardwalk to look at all the water.  Watched an owner with his dog playing fetch the stick in the water.

Kenny was just happy getting his large container of french fries ~ he loves french fries.

Then a storm was headed in so we packed back up and headed for home.

Good day!

Potty Training is Complete

                                                      Step 1

W

                                                      Step 2

I

                              I AM A BIG BOY NOW!!!!

This will be my very last post on Potty Training ~ Potty Training has been completed ~ June 18th I let Jonathon wear his underwear to bed ~ Jonathon has been wearing underwear full time ever since ~ I am proud to say ~ NO ACCIDENTS

Jonathon is starting to let me know when he has to go potty ~ he holdS his tummy and yells at me ~ if I am not in the room he comes and finds me ~ holding his tummy ~ if I ask Jonathon if he has to go potty ~ he will answer me yes or no ~ and I believe his answer now ~ I ask him if he needs to pee or poop ~ he answers and answers truthfully/correctly

Our goal is to get rid of his urinal this summer and use a step stool to stand on to pee ~ so he will be comfortable when he goes back to school in Sept ~ another goal is to get rid of his potty seat and get him to always sit on the big toilet without one ~ so again he is comfortable and ready to go back to school ~ and most of all work on him telling other people besides mommy that he needs to go.

So there could be an update on those things in the future ~ but I am PROUD and HAPPY to say :HOORAY JONATHON!!!!!  I LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH AND AM SO VERY PROUD OF YOU FOR BEING FINISHED WITH POTTY TRAINING!  YOU ARE AMAZING AND MY MIRACLE!
