What a week Jace has had! He has gone from my baby to a big boy in the past 4 days it seems, and it's killing me just a bit how fast everything is changing around our house. It all started with a hair cut on Saturday. After constantly pushing the mop out of his eyes and wondering what to do with the mullet/tail in the back, off to the barber shop we went. He sat perfectly still the whole time and was awesome:) And what a change it is. He looks all grown up now, and my baby is gone.
Just another shot of before his hair cut. We have had so much fun this summer getting outside in the sun and water. The boys do great, and we are trying to make the rounds to all the fun activities we can think of. One of our favorites has been the splash zone at the park in town. Lots of water, dumping buckets, water guns and sprinklers, etc and hours of fun on these hot summer days:)
Not the best after picture of his hair, but you can tell it isn't in his eyes anymore. We went to a friend's house yesterday morning and spent the day playing outside. Jace and her son Cole were born on the same day just minutes apart, and we enjoy catching up with them in the summertime and hanging out. They live out in the country, and the 3 boys had a ball splashing in the kiddie pool, playing in the hose, doing the slip n slide, riding the little 4 wheeler and playing with the dog, or making mud puddles in the dirt. She grilled hot dogs and we had potato chips and baked beans for lunch. It was perfect! Not to mention the awesome long naps the boys took after all that fun in the sun:)
As if he was inspired by his grown up looks following his hair cut, Jace pulled a new one on me and went pee pee in the potty for the first time ever yesterday too! I clapped and danced and we all had smarties to celebrate his accomplishment:) It may have been a one time event, or the beginning of real potty training, but it was a big deal. The boys and I packed up and went swimming at the big pool this morning with several friends from church and had a blast. Both boys are swimming so well with their floaties and it makes for some much more relaxing times at the pool for me:) Jace jumps off the side like he has been doing it his whole life, and Tyson decided this morning he would start jumping in and swimming with his head under the water! We got home, and I decided to try and lay Jace down in his big boy twin bed for nap today after lunch. And that's where he is right now...snoozing away for the first time in a real bed. My heart hurts a little at how proud I am of all his accomplishments this week, and the fact that my little guy is growing up so fast on me. Children are so amazing and they change whether we are ready for them to or not.
