so its official... Jack is off the bottle! After seeing how well the little sippie cup with handles worked for cousin eli, we thought we'd give it a try! Jack took it right away and even took formula out of it... so come bedtime I gave him a cup rather than a bottle. He took it fine and we haven't used a bottle since! Im happy hes off the bottle but wish it could have been one week sooner. Last weekend i had my baby garage sale :-( any clothes, toys, jumpers, swings, or strollers for 9months and younger went! It would have been nice if my hundreds of bottles could have been included...
So on that note... im sure you are wondering why im getting rid of all my baby stuff. we are (probably) done having kids... Mike has his boys and we got soo lucky with the 2 we have. Unless I have a guarantee of having a girl I don't know that I want anymore.. We will discuss another child when its time to renew my bc in 4 1/2 years... so im guessing by then (hoping) the baby bug will not bite me! I'm really looking forward to putting Parker into soccer and starting school. Jack is at such a wonderful age but at the same time im anxious for him to walk! I just think im ready to be in the next stage with my kids, although there is NOTHING like holding a brand new baby!
so back on track.. My dear sweet Parker who has retired from sleeping.. finds every excuse in the entire world to get out of bed. So much so we have resulted to spanking.. (gasp) not what your thinking.. we arent expierenced spankers so i think its almost comical. We told Parker he could get up to go to the bathroom, but after that he would get a spanking everytime he got up. (People, the boy is staying up until midnight with excuses!) So tonight when he got out of bed the second time it, dad had to do the deed...mike asked me how.. lol. we explained the reason for it before hand and turned him over. one single pop.Dad's spankings are the equivalent of a clap. Parker cried for a second because we hurt his feelings (so obviously not his butt.) Anyway point of the whole thing.. i CANT get my three year old to follow any kind of directions-ever. I think this is just normal three year oldness but it makes me wonder how to explain things in a manner that he will grasp. However i cant leave the impression that my three year old is bad so here is something cute. Today we were eating lunch and he was talking about how much he missed his friend Izzy. He then said that he wanted to be married to her.. it made me smile ;-)
until next time bloggers
