Play Doh

Kayden is getting more into "artsy" things lately. He really likes coloring and has now discovered he also enjoys playdoh. He has to have all 4 colors on the tray with him and likes to imitate me, if I roll a ball he tries to, if I make a worm, he tries to too. He also likes when mommy uses cookie cutters to make numbers or letters. Playdoh is also a great entertain feature when we are eating out, which makes mommy & daddy happy!

Look!

Kayden's cool new potty!

What Kayden got! He used to be terrified of the big potty so I didn't push it and then one day he asked to sit on it before his bath, so now he sits on the potty before bath every night. So the other day we were shopping and decided to check out the big boy potties, I was going to get him a prince one that sang when he pottied. Well Kayden had different ideas, he spotted the truck potty and was sold. So we now have a truck potty, that he loves. When you go potty in it you are rewarded with truck sounds.....can it get any better than that for a little boy?:-) When we first put it together he wanted to drive it around like a truck. And today when his friend Jake came over to play before going to his play room he had to stop in the bathroom to show him his potty. He also thinks he is so cool when he sits on it. So far he hasn't actually went potty in it but I'm excited that he likes it and thinks it is a novelty. I'm not going to push the issue, I'm just glad it is a positive thing right now.
Uncle Kurt and Mark......don't you wish they had truck potties when you were little??

What a little goofball we have!

Husker Bowl game Saturday!

Growing up so fast!

So excited for his big boy bed!!




One last photo in his crib.....tears

Isn't this the truth:

"Babies Don't Keep

Cleaning and scrubbing
Can wait till tomorrow,

For babies grow up
We've learned to our sorrow.

So quiet down cobwebs,
Dust go to sleep,

I'm rocking my baby,
And babies don't keep."

On Sunday Kyle switched Kayden's crib to a big boy bed (well, compared to a crib a toddler bed is such a big boy bed!). He loves his big boy bed and thinks he is so cool. He was all smiles after it was finished and was running from one side to the other in it. Today it really hit me that he is out of the crib when he woke up from his nap, climbed out of his bed, opened his bedroom door and walked down the hall to find me! WOW, am I really to that point already? I find myself staring at him a little longer now when I rock him to sleep and squeezing him a little harder when I give him a hug. He is growing so fast and I feel like these next 6 months are going to be a dramatic change before my eyes and I don't know if I'm ready for it yet!

Kayden's new ride!

Santa brought Kyle and I bikes for Christmas and we just bought Kayden his trailor for behind the bike and went for our first ride yesterday and Kayden loved the fast movement of the bike. He had to bring Jax with him on the bike ride and loved having his snacks and drink with him in his little carriage, he was so relaxed he fell asleep! We are excited for alot more family bike rides!

Happy New Years!!
