Catching Up

This week Cason is going to Vacation Bible School for the first time and I hope he has a great time. Thankfully, he will have his very first MDO teacher as his VBS teacher. We both love her dearly!

Corbin has been crawling everywhere and he just gets faster and faster everyday. He pulls up on EVERYTHING so I've been very busy around here to say the least. With Cason, we didn't have small toys laying around or a busy toddler running all over the place so it was pretty easy to keep him safe. But with Corbin we are constantly on the move keeping small toys out of reach, keeping him from climbing on unsafe objects, and keeping Cason from knocking him over---ha! I was looking back at pictures of Cason from 9 1/2 months and he was standing and taking steps. Corbin definitely isn't there yet so I'm thinking he will walk later than Cason which is just fine with me :)

I need to take some pictures of bath time because I give the boys a bath together every night now. They are so cute together in the tub BUT I have to keep one hand near Corbin at all times to keep him from falling and trying to climb. And water is constantly splashing around between the two of them so a camera is not usually an option but I will try.

Potty training: Cason is doing so good---I won't go as far as to say he is completely potty trained because I know if I say that things will surely change but he is pretty close. He has been wearing underwear for a week now. We started out last Monday wearing underwear just to see how things would go and he only had one accident that day. So we tried again on Tuesday and again only one accident. And we haven't had any accidents since then while wearing underwear. I put him in pull ups the first few times we went out in public but he kept going to the bathroom in his pull up so I decided that we needed to just be brave and keep the underwear on even out in public and he's done great. We even took him to the zoo yesterday and he had no accidents. He wears a pull up during the night but that's it---the rest of the day he wears underwear even during his nap. The pull up is usually wet in the mornings but that's no big deal. We don't plan on taking those away at night time for a very long time anyway. He even wore underwear to VBS today and he stayed dry the whole time!!! Cason wearing underwear will surely be a big change for us when we are out in public from now on. I don't like public restrooms to begin with and the fact that I also have Corbin to take care of at the same time will be interesting I'm sure. I know I will be in the middle of grocery shopping with both kids when Cason tells me he had his first big accident---LOL. I was afraid of just putting him in underwear and quitting the pull ups but it really hasn't been bad at all---I'm so proud of him!
