Smile It's a Wagon Ride

Dax was home with daddy recovering from a cold today.  

They managed to get out for a wagon ride.  That always cheers us up :)

Of course you have to wear your goggles when you wagon ride.

And if your almost two you have to pull.

Always ask directions.

PT Weekend

PT...that's right Potty Training.  We have been swimming in it all weekend.  Some say it's too late, most say it's too early, but regardless of other's opinions we think Dax is ready for the task.  With baby #2 on the way this was a good time to give him the chance to move up to 'Big Boy' status around the house.  We've had up's and many down's but we are rolling along.  We even had friends, Lucy & Briggs join in on the fun for a little bit.

Big Boy filling up his potty chart.

Strider bike has never been more fun in the undies.

Lucy, Briggs and Dax chillin in undies.  

Zach has been an outstanding positive influence on Dax who clings to his every word.  Tears, M&M's, woopsies, hair pulling, LOT'S of laundry, underwear...just your typical PT weekend.  Of course it's not just a weekend but a new life investment in getting things to the toilet in time but we've signed up for the journey with our little man.  Hopefully he will sign up with us :)

New Bed

It's like a dream.  Too good to be true.  We finally got a new bed!  Moving up from a Full to a Queen size bed is luxury enough.  But we upgraded our mattress and bedframe as well.  Zach and I are thrilled!

Custom made of reclaimed wood and metal with storage drawers on both sides.  Thanks to Wes Walsworth for building this beautiful bed and following my random design.  Wes does amazing work and has a wonderful artistic touch.  See more of his work here: http://walsworthfurnishings.com/

Now to get some sleep before the new baby arrives.  Sweet dreams :)
