Big Boy Bed -- FINALLY

After it was time for Jax to graduate from a toddler bed to a twin size, we just did a mattress and boxspring on the floor at first.  This was because Jax HATED toddler railing so if he fell out of the bed I wanted it to be close to the floor.  Well that was months ago and I have been meaning to get him a true bed for some time.  I finally purchased a bed thanks to a furniture sale at Pottery Barn Kids and today it arrive!  I have been talking up this big boy bed to him for days and he was really excited when the men arrived to deliver it.

So tonight when it was time to go to bed Jax ran upstairs and jumped into bed. 

 He seems to really love his big boy bed. I love it as well, except that it makes him seem so old.

Update:  Jax slept in his new bed starting Monday night.  Though his usual wake up time as been between 5-5:30, he has woken up at 6:45, 7:15 and then 8 am after I went in to wake him up!  Really hoping this continues!

A Break from the Cold

Today was a warm(ish) day and the forecast for tomorrow is more cold so we seized the opportunity to break out of the house and head to the park.  My mom wanted to tag along which I always love because I could really use an extra set of hands these days.  I am thinking that really should have been on my list to Santa, maybe next year.  Well the boys had a blast.  Miles is becoming a little wild man who takes off and climbs everything with no reservation or fear.  He wants to do the big slides not the little ones.  He wants to climb up the slides, go down them backwards, take off for the bridge (you know the type with no sides so he could easily slide off).  Good times. 

So between chasing a one year old who thinks he can do everything for himself when he can't, and having a two year old who can do the stuff himself, but wants you with him, things are getting interesting to say the least.

Poor Jax is such a little city kid.  All these other kids were running around acting like it was a warm day out (it was in the 50s).  Jax was acting like he was freezing.  If I could only get him to wear gloves I think he would want to play outside more in the winter.  The kid likes the coziness (and heat) of his house I think. 

Say Cheese!

I never tell Jax to "say cheese" when I want to take a picture of him and now I know why. I get this face when I do.





Crazy kid.
