The little fella is not only physically bigger by the day, but he is acting more and more independent. He started to sleep in his full, big boy bed on January 31st and hasn't looked back. Naps start with him getting down to play with some toys and read a book or two, but for the most part, he stays in bed and actually rests. Bedtime is freakishly routine already- bed around 8pm, a couple of whimpers and silence.
Playing in the snow. KJ helped his daddy fix the snowblower, so he naturally thinks it is his now.
He is also moving toward being potty trained. He will use the potty with the promise of an M&M a few times a day and recently started to tell me that he has gone the bathroom in his diaper. I am going to keep working on him, but I am hopeful that we will be most of the way to trained shortly after the new baby arrives. I have no desire to change two sets of diapers for a long time.
My 25 minutes of peace. KJ will always go for mama's bed and Handy Manny. Fine by me.
As for the second one, this pregnancy has been good, but a lot more tiring than KJ's. I guess the addition of a toddler to the mix doesn't give much time for rest. The baby is a mover and a shaker, and is stretching my stomach with feet, heels, knees, everything. According to my last doctor's appointment, I am measuring on time, which is good because I measured small with KJ. I am hoping that it means I will deliver on schedule. Although the chaos with two might be overwhelming, I have a feeling I will be more than ready from a physical standpoint by April 5th.
This picture is at 28 weeks, but I love that KJ couldn't have a picture without him. Stepped right in and said cheese.
