Catch up..why can't I remember to blog regularly

 We are making some slow strides on the potty training.  We haven't gone full on yet, but he has gone potty on the toilet at preschool a few times and doesn't mind sitting on the potty at home anymore.  He just not yet done anything while sitting there.  This summer, potty training is on!

 We transitioned B into a big kid bed.  This was his reaction when he saw his car themed bed.  He has been great since the transition.  B has always been a sleeper but we were a bit worried he would get up and come out of his room all the time since he wasn't confined in his crib.  He has not left his room without permission yet.  He has a few times though knocked on his door from the inside and said "hello hello" because he wanted out.  He is a great kiddo.
 We had a nice day today and the ice cream truck came through the neighborhood.  I remember the "Jolly Joe" truck as a kid so Steve and I rushed B outside and this was the ice cream bar he chose.  He is pretty stoked about his Sponge Bob Square Pants popsicle.  He got to have 3 licks and then we put it in the freezer for him to lick off of for the next while.
Bubbles are awesome!  We brought out the bubble machine today and B would have chased the bubbles for hours had we let him.  This is going to be a summertime funtime toy.  Now if the weather would cooperate we could put the pool out and the bubbles on and life would be great.

Brecken has been loving preschool.  He will start 3 days a week in July.  His talking has really improved.  He is saying sentences and really experimenting with his speaking.  Steve and I are constantly cracking up by what he says, or what we think he is saying.  :)  He still gives the best hugs and kisses.  Snuggle time with B is the best. 

Mother's Day 2012

We had beautiful weather on Mother's Day.  We took to the roads on our bikes and road to our crossfit gym, did a Mother's Day partner WOD, which Brecken helped with, and then rode home along the lake.  We of course finished it off by going to the new frozen yogurt store.  It was fantastic.  Nutter butter and chocolate frozen yogurt is hard to beat!  Steve and Brecken spoiled me the whole weekend.  I am a lucky wife and mama.

Sesame Street Madness

 Aunt Shelley got us tickets to Sesame Street Live and Brecken could not have been more surprised and thrilled to see all of his favorite characters, especially ELMO!  The show was upbeat and a total  hit with the kids.  Thank you Aunt Shelley.  What a fun day.
 Hey Big Bird!
 With Yaya and Beppe.
 B loves the ladies..."hello Zoe!"
This was Brecken's face when  Elmo came out on Stage.  He could NOT believe his idol was dancing and singing right in front of him.
