November Happenings

It is crazy that in just 2 days it will be December! I have been such a blog slacker. Mostly I have not taken pictures of very many things. One Monday morning I decided that we were going to potty train Zach. The diaper fairy came early and took out all of his diapers and left him some treats and a box of Capri Sun. We started that morning when he woke up and he has done great! I have had these Buzz/Woody light-up cowboy boots for a few months as incentive for him to go on the potty. So on Monday I had him in a shirt and just his big boy undies and his boots. He did NOT like being without pants! My modest little boy. Such a sad face
I had him take a nap on the couch so I could wake him up and take him potty often. He said he wasn't tired, but this potty training stuff is exhausting!
Such a Proud boy!

My Zach will NOT take pictures in a studio. This fall we tried THREE times to get him to take some at the school on picture day. I tried, Aunt Wendy tried and even Grandma tried, and we ended up with the same result--a sad little boy usually with his hands in his mouth. On the last day he wouldn't do it, I took him outside when we got home and with my less than professional camera- lo and behold some VERY cute pictures were taken! What a difference the camera makes! So, here are a few of the pics from that day....oh how i love this boy! He makes my heart sing!!

These two of my favorites! just being silly

We made a countdown chain for FHE, counting down the days until Marnee and Pots and Amanda came for Thanksgiving. He loved taking one off each day.
