An Update...

 We started potty training True... I wish I could say it was a smashing success... but I will say it has gone better than when we potty trained Ava.  I can't decide if I should let him figure out when he needs to go or put him on a timed schedule - every 45 minutes.  So far, I've done a little of both.  He stays dry when I take him every 45 minutes, he does not when I let him be in charge.  What to do, what to do... He does look cute in his undies.. I will say that.

 Ava has started playing by herself more, which is nice.  She is taking swimming lessons for the next two weeks and I think she is going to pass this level.  Woohoo!

 Lately, True thinks every food is a finger food.  Which is immediately followed by "napkin, mommy, napkin!"

He's cute.

 Truett turned two this past week.  He had a train cake - he was so excited about the train on the cake!

Trains and tractors were his favorite gifts... Poor books and clothes got tossed aside...

My mom dropped off these two trikes for our field day on Friday.  Ava was showing True the ropes.  Summer is almost here!

 Happy Mother's Day!  So happy I get to be a mommy to these two!

 One sweet little True.

One sassy ballerina Ava.

 Life in motion!

11 days of school left.

True will be turning 2 in a week and a half.

He tinkled in the potty tonight.  Woohoo!

I'll be spending lots of time listening to this jabber-jaw.

She requested me to sing the "hawkingbird song" tonight.

When we were swimming on Saturday, she wanted to swim in the "dead end" and told me she would not "drain."  Whew.. I'm glad.

 We had a pretty great 3-day weekend.  I can't wait for summertime!

I took Ava to preschool on Friday and True to the minute clinic... he had a bad case of hand, foot, mouth.. gross.  Poor baby had a rash all over him and nasty little blisters.  They are going away finally, but he was pretty miserable there for a while.  We went swimming on Saturday.  Today we went to the park and played on the playground.  We had to enjoy some ice cream cups that were hanging out in the freezer when we got home.  Yum!

True does this really cute thing right now.  When you ask him something and he wants it he says, "Uh-huh."  His little voice goes up on the huh part.  So sweet.  I must get it on video before it goes away.

He may also beat Ava on the potty training front...

Ava enjoyed her ice cream too.  Tomorrow is her special day at preschool.  She can't wait!  She has already been in my room twice telling me Fuzzy keeps waking her up.

 The kids helped BJ mow tonight...

True watered the grass (it really needed it..)  We played with the water table too.. mostly to get Ava to eat her dinner (she was being poky, so we left her at the dinner table and played right outside the door!)

 I got a tree from the Arbor Day program at school and finally brought it home to plant.  It is the size of a stick, but we'll give it a whirl!

 There were lots of worms hanging out... True was not excited about seeing them.

Ava didn't mind holding them since she had her gloves on.  Although, when one started wiggling, she was ready to put them down!
