J & B

Jaxon loves to hold Bridget. So when he does he annouces that he wants to & then runs to the couch in preparation. This time after I set her next to him he said take a picture.

(this is a good picture to see how big she is for being 4 1/2 mo. Jax is just a little bit over 2 1/2 yrs! She's such a chubby bunny girl)

This was Jaxons and Bridgets first bath together...she loved it! He like when she kicked her feet and splashed him. It makes me happy they enjoy each other so much.

Last month we were watching a family for a couple of days. One day while Jax was supposed to be laying down for a nap, I went in to check on him because the fan that I use to have white noise was turned off. I went into the room...he wasn't on the bed where I had left him after stories...he wasn't on his bed on the floor...he wasn't in bridgets pack in play... I couldn't find him! I was asking him where he was and usually in his games of hide and seek he makes it easy by saying..."I right here." But there was no response, I was then a little worried. I started to hear him breathing and began to look around the room...I wouldn't have thought there was anywhere to hide. The little rascal had fallen asleep behind the pot of a tree in the room. When I first found him you couldn't see the top of his head, just a little bit of his hand down by the face, but when I came back with the camera he had adjusted. But too funny, he feel asleep hiding!

Potty training master!

Jaxon is totally awesome. 2 weeks ago Jax finally decided he was ready to start using the potty.

Back in September he wanted to do it because his buddy Lily was training. Will and I were excited to possibly get it out of the way before Bridget came. We bought the potty & we couldn't get it out fast enough. He sat down and peed. That was that, then he didn't want anything to do with it. So we put away the potty and pulled it out a few times since then and had no luck. One day I decided we were going to do it and he peed on the floor 3 times in 2 hours and kept saying, "I don't want to pee in the potty!"

A couple of weeks ago, HE decided to go for it! A few things contributed to his desire to become a big boy...

1. NO Chuckie Cheese until he was wearing big boy underwears and filled up his first chart. (I've been telling him we can't go to see Chuckie until we is wearing big boy underwears for about 6 months! All of the commercials help to taunt him, haha.)

2. He couldn't have his sheriff car from the movie cars until he pooped in the potty.

3. his diapers were getting snug = uncomfortable, I just didn't buy him the bigger size...hehe. That way he understood that he was getting too BIG for his diapers. He was in a 4. He started to not want to wear them.

Since he wanted to give it try to beable to go see Chuckie, get his Sheriff car, and wear underwears, NOT diapers...we had a NAKIE day! He loved it :) To my surprise when ever he needed to go he ran, sat down and went...piece of cake! There were a couple of days that he would hold his poop and go at night in his pullup...that was not ok with me. I then told him that he's pooping in his underwears and that is gross and not ok and if he did it again..."I'll put you in a cold shower." dun-dun-dunnnn.....I guess that is scary for him, because he got big eyes and said..."o'tay I not poop in my pullup...I not poop in my underwears."

He is such a superstar!! In 2 wks we've ONLY had 3 accidents, none of which happened while out and about, thank goodness. He wears underwear for his nap...i know, pretty awesome. The last four nights hes kept his pull up dry at night. We've made a new chart, that if he keeps it up three weeks he can go pick out a new toy...hes very excited. So whenever he see a commercial for something he wants and says "I got to have that mom!" I simply reply, if you keep your underwears dry at nap and bed time you can buy it at the store! hes so excited :) I guess if you wait till they want to, potty training isn't so bad...knock on wood.

(he wouldn't pose for a picture, he was too excited)

(Yes, that is Will up in the tunnels with jax)

they encourage parents to cruise the tunnels too...we were the only ones :) on a very busy day...surprising, the tunnels are fun! Will didn't fit so good ;)

Needless to say going potty around here at the McKay house is praise worthy...I even get a high five and a "good job mom!" for my efforts...He's such a sweet boy. Today Bridget had a blowout...which is at least an every other day occurance, and Jax told me that she had to have a cold shower. haha, I told him that shes too little, but when she gets big like him she will...

"Oh, o'tay"
