Nixon turned 2 / potty training

Where does the time go?

It's been a month since nix turned 2, he is seriously the smartest boy.

Some things I want to write down about him and remember are:

I took his crib down like completely apart. He never slept in it, he always just slept with Brighton so now they sleep together every night. It's pretty cute and they love the extra space in their room.

He's still my little talker. Sometimes when I talk with him I feel like I'm talking to a 4 year old not a 2 year old.

He has a great memory. He remembers everyone's names. Even if he just net you once.

About a month ago Daniels brother JJ stayed the night at our house for work. He got there late and left early. The boys only overlapped with him maybe an hour. I remember this cause I offered him a water and he showed me his tall plastic Smart water bottle saying no thanks I have one. So last week Daniel went to a meeting and brought back a smart water and put it in the fridge. nix opened the fridge and saw it and said mom did jj leave his water bottle here ? how did he remember  that?? Blew me away.

He says the funniest things all the time but for some reason I'm drawing a blank. Probably cause its late. I'll have to come back later and insert some things.

I also potty trained him last week. I was expecting it to go a lot how Brighton's went but it has been the complete opposite. The first day he peed on my floor 13 times with out any real success. I called my. Bf Betsy and said I was throwing in the towel. She told me I couldn't give up that I needed to give it at least 1 full day. Sooooo glad I listened to her. He woke up from his nap and did better. Had some success and some accidents. The 2nd day he had 1 accident the whole day and even started to tell me when he needed to go. 3rd day no accidents and started just going completely on his own. He is also great at holding it. I'm just amazed by him!

For his birthday we decided to take him to Disneyland it was so much fun he loved it so much and talked about it all the time. Begs me to go back a few times a week. It was also nice to get some much needed time with Daniel.

Nix loves his daddy and gets so sad when he goes to work and then tells me all throughout the day. "I just miss my daddy all day long"

He's a pretty good eater and is always willing to try new things. His fav foods are pizza, and green naked juice.

Love my little nix so much! He's just the best!

My iPad is not letting me post pics. I'll try a bit later.

Brighton Turned 4

A part of me is thinking ya I have a four year old. 

Then another part of me is thinking, 

I HAVE A FOUR YR OLD!!!!! 

But seriously I couldn't have asked for a better kid. 

Ya he has a TON of energy but I wouldn't have it any other way! 

Brighton is so fun to be around. 

He is funny and very aware of other people around him 

and their feelings. 

He has been doing so great at sharing with other kids and his brother. 

He started watching a show called Daniel's Tiger Neighborhood. 

There was an episode that was all about sharing and 

how if we share you can get it back when they are done. 

It's like it clicked in his head that it's still his. 

It's been great. 

He is on a Grilled cheese with ketchup kick. 

he probably eats one a day. 

sick i know. 

He also loves green smoothies and i load them up with baby kale i buy at costco 

it's great he will usually drink 3 sippy cups full in a day. 

He is still really into trucks and trains and anything like that. 

He wanted a Monster Truck Birthday so we kind of themed it that and had it at the local

 Jungle gym it was great and easy! 

He also learned to ride a bike just before his 4th b-day. 

he is so good at it and I'm so proud! 

He's the best!!
