Happy White Valentine??

Aaron was out of town all week and we actually were able to go spend a few days with him the first part of the week. Caleb stayed with Mamaw because he doesn't sleep well in the same room with anyone yet. The boys and I came home Thurs. afternoon because the weather was getting colder and a winter storm was making its way in the path we had to travel so we came home early to get snuggled in early. By 8:00 p.m. Thurs. the snow started falling at our house in Madison and when we woke up Friday morning we had a White Valentine waiting on us outside. Cayden and Caleb thought it was pretty cool. Caleb had a runny nose and a cough and absolutely no waterproof clothes so I waited until he went to take a morning nap to go outside with Cayden. I hate there are not pictures of Caleb but I would rather have a healthy little boy and get pictures later.

This is how deep it was around 10:00 a.m. when we got out to play. It was still falling all day

The backyard first thing in the morning when we got up. The trees were so pretty.

Potty Training was a success!

Cayden was such a good student while potty training. I must say that he had it down pat tee-teeing in the potty within a week. He started seeing and wanting to go see ChuckECheese right after we started the training so I thought maybe this would be a good treat to encourage him to get the hang of doing everything in the potty all the time and then we could go see Chuck. I put a picture of Chuck E on the wall paper of the computer and hung a picture of him up in his room and he would see him on T.V. too. Within a week or so he got the hang of it. Cayden is completely going on his own to the potty all day with no help. We took him to ChuckECheese this week and he had the best time and even told us when we left the building "that was great." How sweet!!! He has really grown up these days. He is always telling me "Mama that is a great idea" about things. We have really bonded lately. It took Cayden about 2 weeks to be fully potty trained during the day. I still put him in a diaper at nap time and night for leaks. Naptime is usually dry but not at night. He LOVES to drink. That boy could drink a fountain dry. The night time will come with time and learning how to hold it. Way to go Cayden!! I am so proud of you!!
