Luke's Big Milestones!

Luke is officially becoming a "Big Boy!" There have been big changes for Luke these past few months. In November right before the holidays I decided to take Luke in for his first real big boy haircut. He went from his long curls to a short wavy do. A good friend Janie cut it in her salon, we thought he would do better there, but he cried most of the time. I had to have him sit on my lap, so by the end, we were both covered in hair. I guess it was needed, but i really miss 
his long locks!

We are also on our fourth day of potty training, Yeah!!!! It is so exciting! I tried pull ups a few weeks ago and he kept right on peeing in them, they have never worked for me, so straight to the underwear and not one accident during the night! He loves his big boy underwear and being able to go like his big brothers. Whenever he has a friend come over he asks if they want to see him go pee-pee in the toilet, they usually decline his request. Although the peeing has been going fabulous, he has yet to poop in the potty, hopefully soon! 
He actually went pee in the potty a few months ago for the first time and it happened to be the day after his haircut. Jason attributes his haircut to him thinking he is a big boy. Although I don't think so,  it was because his cousin Colt was over going potty so he wanted to go with him but once he left the interest was gone and I was too busy with the holidays to push the issue. I am just grateful he is going before the baby gets here!

Catching Up!





First Day of School
Okay so it has been a few months, and since sooooo much happens in the fall i need to go back to their first day of school at the end of August.
Cade and Josh were both so excited. Especially Josh! I was not nearly as nervous as last year, since I knew what to expect and had already been through it once with Cade. And Cade had told Josh everything he needed to know about kindergarten. It was also his cousin's Waylan's first day of kindergarten so he was happy about that too. The first day went great it, was the first few days after Josh asked, " I have to go again?" I guess he thought it was a one day deal or something. After a few weeks of adjusting to all day kindergarten, he is doing great!
Cade was also hesitant after a few days because many of his friends from kindergarten were in a different track from him. We switched from being on track 5 to track 2! But, now he has made new friends and is doing great!
Luke also began preschool! It is one a few moms started. The kids rotate once a week to the different houses for a couple of hours of learning and fun. It has been great and something he looks forward to every week.
