Catching Up.

What is going on??? Well Derrick is really a potty champ. Not 100% but getting there. He his a man on a schedule. I am really rethinking the fact that I taught him how to pee in the grass. Now every time we go out to play he wants to pee in the grass. Let me backtrack here. We had gone to "Kids Dig It" by 4H last weekend at the fair grounds. I had asked numerous times if he had to go before we left ( 15 minute drive with no bathrooms). As i strap him into the car seat he tells me "I have to go pee". Need less to say the bathrooms were forever away. "I have to pee now mommy". So I opened the car doors pulled his pants off and he peed in the grass. He did not stop talking about it. I am frightened to death that he will be at school and go pee out side....

Leah is now going to "school". She is going to the same school that Derrick attends. Her first teacher was Derrick's first teacher too. Everyone at the school said that she is doing very well for her first week. She is very friendly and seems to get along with everyone. Except for one. Day two, she was the victim of a non marking bite. No harm, no damage. She had her first ride in the forward facing car seat. LOVED IT!!!!!! Her and Derrick just laugh and laugh at each other. If they are not laughing they are singing and dancing. I hope that the two of them continue to be as thick as they are now.

Big Boy Underpants

Here is Little Derrick's first boat ride. Labor Day, the neighbor across the street invited the Derricks to join him and his son for a quick trip on the lake. Lil D LOVED it.
Here is a shot for Grandma's house. All 3 of the kids had a blast in the pool. D really caught on on how to swim. Leah, just laughed and splashed. She did not have much to do with the float but loves the floaties!!!

We are now in our first pairs of big boy underwear. Derrick picked out some Handy Manny and Disney. He had one accident at school the first day and 2 the second. We will continue to work on it. Daycare said not to be discouraged and keep going. Still having difficulty with uploading pictures.

Leah is a full fledged walker. I am still surprised she has not had any BIG falls. She has always fallen so gracefully, butt first. She is still small at last check 19 lbs and 29 inches. I am still keeping her in the rear facing car seat for a few more weeks till she packs on a few pounds. We lucked out this week at Target and picked up some Graco upper-mid grade car seats for $50 each. The only feature it is missing is the recline position. We do not use it much for Derrick so I guess I will not miss it.
