Today is Kevin’s last day in toddlers and he’s moving up to his new big boy class! He’s been transitioning all week, spending a few hours here and there in his new class but tomorrow it’s all day. We’ve been so blessed to have a wonderful Christian girl as Kevin’s teacher in toddlers and we’ll miss her so much but we’re very excited about his new class. He’s the youngest of the group but for those of you that know Kevin it won’t hold him back!!!!
He is using his sign language so much now. Last night we “quizzed” him on all the signs he knows and we’re up to 45!!!! He may not sign them but he knows what they all mean. I was so impressed and owe it all to Elizabeth who told me about Signing Time DVDs (www.babysigningtime.com) They are awesome and he’s learned so much.
He’s transitioned great into his new toddler bed. Hasn’t fallen out once and sleeps all night. He likes that I can sit on his bed with him to read books at night! Potty training isn’t into full swing yet but he does go potty for us at home and also at school. He actually went tee-tee and poo-poo at school yesterday which is big for him!!! We’ll get him on a good schedule in the next month and hope to have a potty trained little boy by Christmas.
We're having another boy!!!!!

Big boy bed and some yard work!
Ben and I had a wonderful anniversary yesterday. We were at Lowes at 8:00 buying all the supplies we needed to do a yard makeover. We started at 10:00 and finished up by 2:00. We are so proud of ourselves and enjoyed spending time together. We enjoyed a nice late lunch at Saltgrass and picked up Kevin. Ben got called into work so he came home and slept for a little bit and Kevin and I spent some time at Nana's house. We also transitioned Kevin's bed into a toddler bed yesterday. He was so excited to see it and yelled "bed" and climbed right in. I read him a story in his bed last night and he fell asleep just fine. He's such a big boy now! He is also moving up at school again!!! He's very excited and enjoys walking down the hall to see his new big boy room. They will start working more with him on his potty training and we will do the same at home. Not in any hurry but he knows the routine and seems to be ready so we'll see.

Swim lessons and pneumonia - what a combination!
Well it's been quite the week! Kevin started swim lessons on Monday and had a blast. He's not in the least bit afraid of anything and it shows! He started feeling yucky Thursday. Fever, cough, sleeping a lot, etc. This continued to get worse so we took him to Urgent Care this morning. He was diagnosed with pneumonia! Can you believe that???? He has an antibiotic and steroid that we started today. It's been quite the weekend and I'm staying home with him tomorrow. Hoping he can go to school on Tuesday if his fever stays down but I'm afraid it'll wear him out quick. So that's the summary of our week. Pray for our little man to feel better soon and that all medicine works so we don't have to visit the hospital. Here are some pictures of our first week of swim lessons...also some pictures of feeding the ducks with mommy and Nana! We had so much fun!!!! 
When asked where someone or something is...and he doesn't know the answer - this is Kevin's new response!!!!

Life with a toddler…..
As you can tell from my lack of posting this past month – our lives have been very busy!!!! Our house is officially done…they installed the heater in our bathroom just this week and that was the finishing touch on the project. We’re so happy it is finished and we are loving our house. Yes, I know pictures have not been posted – I hope to do them soon.
We cannot believe Kevin will be 18 months in a few days! Time has gone by so fast but we sure are loving this stage. He is talking up a storm – some we understand some we don’t! His sign language has been a life saver though. He will talk and sign which helps us understand those first words a little better! His potty training is going good.
Daycare sits him on the potty 4 or 5 times a day of which he’ll actually tee tee once or twice. He continues to go at home on a regular basis including waking up dry and going potty first thing in the morning! We’re so proud of him and hope his progress continues. He doesn’t recognize it as a chore just yet and because he’s still so young – we’re in no rush and I think he can sense that.
His paci transition in March went perfect! He spent the first week asking for it and then a few nights crying for it and that was it! After that first week we gathered as many of his pacis we could find and threw them all away. It was a wonderful moment for all of us! I would have preferred to break him of it when he turned a year but I was determined to have it done by the time he turned 18 months. I never thought he would have taken to the change so quickly and in less than a week be paci free!!! He’s such a big boy.
I do have a feeling they are transitioning him at school very soon! Yesterday I picked him up in a different room which usually means they are getting him used to other teachers and a new environment. 2 promotions in less than a year – not sure if mommy can handle that! He used to look so small when I dropped him off and now he looks like a big boy playing with all his friends. He drinks out of a real cup now – no lid!!! We do sippy cups for car rides but at home and school – he’s lid-free J
I hope at some point during our busy weekend I have time to post a few pictures. I have very cute Easter pictures and a few bluebonnet pictures from last weekend.

Quick update
Not much time to update you on our exciting life but here it goes....
Kevin is officially broken of his paci. This is HUGE for us! He lived and breathed his paci and to make it now 5 days without it is great.
We have also started potty training with him. I know it seems a little early but this is all "Kevin lead" not us! He used the potty several times Saturday and actually woke up dry this morning and went tee-tee on the potty!!! We're not pushing this transition at all and won't for a few more months. We let him go if he wants and only really encourage it after lunch, naps and first thing in the morning. He's growing up too fast.
He is also talking up a storm. "Thank you" has become his new phrase. He's also learned to say "no" and "no more" very clearly. He says "pa-pa" all the time (my dad is loving this!!).
Our house is officially done - except for our entry way and back foyer area. They are replacing that tile soon hopefully. Pictures are coming soon. We just got the living room furniture yesterday so it is now a completed room and looks amazing. I cannot believe the difference it has made. We love and I can't wait to show it off.
