We are loving the sunshine! We went on a walk this evening and stopped at the playground so the kids could run around a little bit. Gavin is loving the grass! I don't think he remembers it from last summer because he was too young. As you can see by his pants, the ground was really wet.
It's hard to tell by looking at the picture, but Alexa and Gavin are standing on the bank of a hill. Gavin kept falling down and at one point, he started rolling down the hill! It was too cute.
Alexa thought he was hurt so she's giving him hugs and kisses. He was only crying because he was frustrated that he couldn't walk very well on the incline.
Whenever I ask Alexa to smile now, she does something weird with her jaw or she'll squeeze her eyes shut and say, "Cheese!"
Nemo goes everywhere with us. You can't tell in the pictures because the kids have their jackets on, but Alexa picked out their shirts today. They are both wearing orange (like
Nemo, Alexa says). I've been trying to find Alexa a
Nemo shirt or pajamas and I am not having any luck. Does anyone know where I can buy
Nemo clothing? It would make Alexa so happy.
I'm so excited and proud to report that Gavin used the potty for the first time tonight! I've been thinking about starting potty training soon (we started Alexa when she was 15 months old) and tonight when I was getting him ready for bed, I noticed that his diaper was still dry. I knew that it hadn't been changed for about 3 hours. I decided to put him on Alexa's potty seat and see what he would do. I sat him on the toilet and said, "Go potty, Gavin." And he did! I made a big deal out of it and praised him over and over. He looked so proud of himself. He even clapped for himself! I know, I'm sure that I just got lucky, but I'm going to start putting him on the potty every night. The sooner we get started, the sooner we can stop buying diapers!
