My babies' babyhood is definitely fleeting. We are officially done with pacis although Drew will randomly ask for them every once in a while, they, especially Anna Kate, are doing great with potty training, and this weekend, we converted their cribs to toddler beds! I have to admit, I am a little sad that my babies are officially little kids now.
They have been able to climb out of their cribs since before they were a year and half old (they are little monkeys you know) but they never would until recently. In the last couple of weeks, they have been getting up on their own so I knew it was time to take down the front rail on their cribs. I wanted to do a trial run with nap time so on Sunday morning, I took them off. They haven't been napping all that great so I wasn't sure how it would go. Ever since they were tiny, I would put them down for a nap and then run the vacuum cleaner. I think the white noise helps them get to sleep plus is allows me to get my vacuuming out of the way. Recently, we will joke that I am going to "vacuum them up" if they don't hurry and get in their beds for naps. I may have more threatened (as opposed to joking) that I would vacuum them up if they got out of their beds. Much to my surprise, they went right to sleep (well, I did have to go in and tell Drew to be quiet because he was singing rather loudly and Anna Kate was already asleep). And, they slept for 2.5 hours! They have been doing just fine at night too. I am so proud of them!
Little cuties!
Excited about sleeping in their "big kid" beds for the first time!
We managed to have some fun this weekend too! We went swimming at April's house with Kylie & Ty on Friday afternoon and had a picnic on the back porch for dinner. Drew and Anna Kate loved spending time with them!
Hotdogs with friends!
Saturday morning, we hung out around the house until John Clay got home from mowing. They both wore underwear without any accidents all morning!
Drew loves to wear his shoes and especially likes his socks. I think we need to work a little bit on his fashion selections. Haha!
Uncle Doug & Aunt Donna were nice enough to let us come swim in their pool Saturday afternoon. It was nice to spend some time relaxing with John Clay. Drew and Anna Kate are getting really good at swimming and it is nice to let them have a little freedom to move around without having to feel like I need to hold their heads out of the water.
Sweet smile! She had a great time!
Drew is my little water dog. Anna Kate wasn't much into participating at swim lessons this week but he got it and got straight to business. He swam all over (with help from the instructor) and even went under a few times!
