Four Signs My Boy is Getting Big

 

 

 

- He talks a lot and while it takes some deciphering to figure it out sometimes, he's pretty good at getting his point across.

 

- He sat by himself to get his haircut (no bribes with lollipops).

 

- He tells us when he is stinky and recently said to me 'mommy, I stinky...it's a BIG one'.

 

- At bed time, I tuck him in and lay with him just a little bit, then I can leave him before he actually falls asleep (no more staying with him for an hour until he falls asleep)!

 

Now only if we can start  potty training soon and then he will really be a big boy.  I'm dreading it and don't even know where to start.  He has a little potty seat that goes on the toilet and he sometimes sits on it.  We haven't really pushed the issue yet, but will have to start getting serious about soon.

 

I love when he says, 'I not a bad boy, I a big boy'. 

 

My baby is growing up. 



A Tween

Happy 10th birthday to my beautiful niece Abbey!

I consider her an official tween now....and she certainly has the attitude to go along with it!

We love her so much and are just so blessed to have her in our lives. 

 

 

 

 



Matthew's Moments

Matthew was looking at a family picture of us.

Me: Who's that? (pointing to Steve in the picture).

Matthew:  Daddy!

Me:  What's daddy's name?

Matthew: 'Beeb' (he hears Abbey call Steve Uncle Beeb - when she was little she couldn't say 'steve', so she said beeb').

Me: Who's that? (pointing to myself in the picture).

Matthew:  Mommy!

Mommy:  what's mommy's  name?

Matthew:  Honey!


That was from last month.  Now Matthew knows my name and tells his teachers, 'my mom is Hannah Wick-comb).  And he still thinks daddy's name is 'uncle beeb'. 

And when we ask him who does he love?  He says, 'I lub mommy, daddy, and Abbey!'
