It has been a big week around the Bailey house. OK, it was a big week a couple weeks ago! It seems as though posting has slipped my mind now that I am constantly monitoring the bladder activity of our 2 year old. Oh, and I have homework now too! It's hard to decide which is more exciting, Spencer starting Kindergarten or Olivia being potty trained.
Spencer has been absolutely loving school. He was so pumped up on the first day that we made him do jumping jacks to settle down! He couldn't wait to ride the bus with his best bud Davis. I wasn't one of those emotional moms. No crying for me, but I have to admit that when I saw our little guy walk up the steps on the bus, I got a lump in my throat. He didn't even look out the window and wave goodbye!!! Rude. I did laugh outloud as I saw the parade of minivans following behind the bus all the way to the school. Yup, laughed all the way to my own car, out the driveway, and to the school! Good thing though, he lined up with the wrong class! I am sure it would have been straightened out relatively quickly, but at least it validated my reasons for going. Sadly, he isn't as thrilled about homework, but I am sure he will soon realize that they aren't the worst TWO MINUTES of the day!
Olivia is officially potty trained. Well, at least in my book. She really has done very well. 95% of any of her accidents have been my fault due to lack of attention or over estimating the size of her bladder. She even went potty on the first day with out having me around. I have to admit that there is something thrilling about having somebody sing to you that never convenient question, "Come wipe my bUuuuum!" Thrilling when a two year old says it, not so much when they're five. Hopefully this pic isn't considered too risque'.
Due to the need for little ones to get up during the night to use the facilities, Olivia finally got her bed put together! I would have been fine keeping her in her crib for as long as possible, but I was too worried she would break her neck in the middle of the night. Kev and I picked out the cheapest, NEW mattress we could find, and set it up. I think I was more excited than Oli. I had her bedding sitting in her closet for over a year! Now she knows she's a big girl. Panties AND a big girl bed. She was seriously jumping like such a maniac, that I couldn't get a decent shot of her face! Crazy girl.
It's been fun around here. Now, can someone please teach Spencer how to ride a bike and Oli to peddle her trike!
