Monkey Joe's
Here are a couple of pictures...I had a hard time getting a good picture of Drew. He was all over the place and wouldn't stay still long enough for me to get a good shot.

Who knew the library was so much fun?
Jack playing in the pretend kitchen. He liked taking all of the food out of the shopping basket, telling us what each thing was, and then packing it all back in the basket. (BTW...look how lean my big boy is looking. He has grown so much taller and has lost that cute, fat baby belly. Who would have ever thought that fat baby from a few years ago would turn into such a grown up little boy?)

Happy Birthday Mike!
Jack orchestrated the whole evening, he told us when to put our hats on, when to open presents, he tolerated the fact that we had to eat dinner (meatloaf, mashed potatoes, creamed corn, green beans, and rolls...all of Mike's faves!) but nothing excited him more than singing Happy Birthday and helping Daddy blow out the candles.
We had some friends come over and help us celebrate. All of the kids were fairly well behaved and we had a great time! Now Jack is already talking about his birthday party...every morning he wakes up and asks if it is time for his party yet. What am I going to do with this boy??

Working at home with Mom
It seems like ever since 2010 began, I have had a sick child every week! We go next month to see if Drew has asthma because he keeps getting bronchitis and has to have breathing treatments every 4 hours to help him breathe. At first I was terrified of the prospect of Drew having asthma but as the weeks pass by I can now recognize the symptoms and we have a machine at home to do breathing treatments. Drew will actually help me hold the mask on his face (it is very cute!) and is fine as long as I have something good to watch on TV...like Mickey.
Here is a picture of Drew helping me work from home on one of his many days of not being able to go to school. He is such a great helper!!

Potty Training is FUN!
So we have started potty-training at home. Jack has been going on the big boy potty at daycare for a while now but would not sit on the big boy potty at home at all. So, after reading a good book about potty training just for boys we started the process in mid-January. After two weeks of talking about the potty and asking Jack is he wanted to sit on the potty, he finally said 'yes'! What an exciting night for us!! He knows how to lift the lid, pull out his 'special' seat and put it on the toilet. He still needs help with his pants but once he gets on the potty he knows to 'push his wee-wee down'. He even asked for a book to read while sitting on the potty. Sometimes he will sit up there for 5 minutes and just hang out without peeing. Other times we actually manage to go potty in the potty! We clap and celebrate and Jack will tell anyone who will listen about sitting on the big boy potty. He even told Uncle Spike on the phone that when you go potty you got to 'push your wee-wee down.' Hilarious!!!
We are no where near being potty-trained but are taking baby steps!
