Milestones

It all started when the boys asked to have a sleepover in early May. They first night went so well that they ended up spending a few nights together on the floor of Nate's room. Nate stayed in bed until their little clock said they could get up.

Seriously, how cute is he?

But he is still my baby.

He is so grown up. They were in heaven having a sleepover.

So, we decided Nate was ready to be out of the crib. He was thrilled about his big boy bed and did fantastic.

Why stop there? We moved his crib into Ben's room and plan to get some IKEA bunk beds during a summer trip to Texas and reclaim Nate's old room as an office/catch-all room.

I was checking on him during naps and found him like this! He can sleep through anything.

We have also been potty training since about the same time. I planned to start once we finished our weekly Bible study since he was in a diapers class, but some really serious diaper rash started us a little early and we haven't looked back. 

Nate is showing you his Thomas underwear, by far his favorite!

 Gosh mom, this is so embarrassing.

  A starburst for pooping on the potty.

We thought this essential skill would never come, but finally, I think he has mastered it. There was a lot of scrubbing while he learned and I'll leave it at that.

 So proud!

He continues to do really well telling us when he needs to go potty. We are rarely having accidents anymore and don't have to rush to all public potties when running errands. That is the worst! He wakes up dry every morning and from every nap and has since the day he started wearing underwear. Ben is still waking wet each morning though, but we are thrilled to be almost diaper free in our house!
