Crib to Big Boy Bed!

Phillip and I have been talking about taking Brody out of his toddler bed for sometime now.  Friday night we got home around 8:00.  Daddy converted the bed into a big boy bed!  Brody and I sat in his room and talked about his big boy bed.  I told him that we sleep in our big boy bed.  I told him that we do not jump in our big boy bed.  He wanted to lay in his bed right away.  He also wanted to jump in his bed.:)  Brody grabbed Buzz and Woody and started playing with them in his bed.  I just knew this was going to be too easy!  I asked Daddy to run and get a night light.  I wanted to make sure there was some light in Brody's room just in case he gets up in the middle of the night.  Daddy came home with a light that changed 7 different colors.  We plugged the light in and Brody started jumping up and down.  He started screaming...MY DREAM LIGHT MY DREAM LIGHT!  Brody has been talking about Brooklyn's dream light since her birthday in July.  I have one ordered but it has not arrived yet.  I can't wait to see his face when he gets the real dream light!  This is a moment I will always always always remember. 

 This is B sound asleep in his big boy bed!  I love that I have a video monitor that I can watch him at all times! 

Sunday morning B got up at 5:00 am.  He got up and started crying.  I jumped out up and looked at the monitor.  Brody was not in the monitor.  Daddy ran downstairs to see what was going on.  Brody was sitting next to his dream light with his pillow and blanket.  He told daddy that he was waiting on Red and wanted a cup of milk!  LOL!!!  Love him! 

All and all...Brody did great this weekend.  He slept in his bed all weekend and even took naps in his big boy bed.  He climbs in bed all by himself and tells us goodnight.  I can't believe how big he is getting. 

Brody...Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you.  Thank you for making this whole process easy for mommy. 

Wordless Wednesday!

Mini Golf

Brody, Daddy, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Brandy, and I all got together Monday night to have dinner at Italian Delight then play a round of Miniature Golf!  I wasn't sure how Brody would do since he is only two.  Brody amazed me again!  He did awesome.  He was so excited to golf.  He played every hole and tired really hard to get the ball in the hole.  Brody would not stop trying until the ball went in the hole.  He was starting to get tired on the last 3 or 4 holes and started doing his own thing.  He thought it was so funny to hit the ball in the water!  Daddy and Uncle Kevin also thought it was funny, so they let Brody keep doing it.  On the 18th hole Daddy and Uncle Kevin let you throw all of our golf balls in the water!  :)  We had a wonderful time last night.  I can't wait to go to a different place next time now that I know Brody liked it and can participate!  I hope Santa brings Brody golf clubs for Christmas! :) 

Why I love you!

I just love this little guy so much!  He's so full of energy and the things he says...priceless.  I appreciate your independence.  I love every word, good or bad! :)  I love that you love to snuggle with your mommy even if it's for one minute.  I love that you go to bed all by yourself everynight and wake up happy every morning.  I love that you pick out your own shoes every morning even it's your soccer shoes and you have 8 others to choose from.  I love that you love soccer.  I love that you know what day is soccer day and talk about your friends all the way to soccer.  Logan and Carson get excited to see you as well.  I love how you can watch something one time and get it.  You are definitely my little sponge.  I love that you are a picky eater.  It makes me think about your daddy!  I love that you are just as stubborn as me.  That makes me realize just how stubborn I really am! :)  Daddy loves this also!  He never wins!!!   I love how you can be so sweet.  I love when you say, "give me a kiss mommy."  I love that you are a typical two year old and let us experience it lately.  Especially last night at the store!!! LOL!!!   These are only a few reasons why We love you so much! 

We were driving in the car this morning and I was talking to Brody about everything!  I love our morning talks.  Brody said Mommy, you pretty....pretty as a princess.  This would be the 2nd time he has said this to me.  I have to tell you that I loved it just as much as the first time.  This little guy makes me smile everyday.  Mommy loves you!!! 

Fantastic Weekend!!!

Saturday morning started with a Bone Marrow Drive for Bo.  The outcome was fantastic.  There was 162 people who participated.  I saw people I hadn't seen in years!  Thank you for everyone who donated. 

Brody was so good.  He stayed all day and had the best time.  He loved the bounce house and the snake! 

Saturday night we went to the Peck's for dinner and soccer!  Oh how we love going to the Pecks.  The kids always play so well together!  Brody, Brooklyn, and Bennett just love each other.  Brody asks about Bennett, Brooklyn, Judd, and Becky at least every other day.  Brody will say, are we going to Bennett's house...and I always say, maybe this weekend!  He says ok tomorrow? :)  Love him! 

Brody knocked out ofter a super bust Saturday. 

Sunday we went to Deanna Rose for Peyton's 3rd birthday party.  Again...We had a great day.  We love Deanna Rose! 

Brody rode the horse for the first time.  You are supposed to be three but we told the guy he was three.  Brody had the best time.  I was so nervous.
