Where's the camera when you need it


I wish that I could download memories or little snippets of our day as if I had walked around and captured it on film. I guess that is what a journal is for, but it would be so much faster if I could just press a send button.


The last few days I have witnessed little moments that I wished my camera was there for. Little moments that if I had run out to get the camera I would have missed.


One night after dinner the boys decided to do the dishes for me. The image of Corbin and Cooper standing on the same chair with their backs to me, their hands all sudsy and water splashing warmed my heart. Cooper wearing shorts a tool belt and a batman mask and Corbin with just dish gloves and boxers. What a cute site.


Or when I heard a sound downstairs and it turned out to be a bare Cooper sitting backwards on the potty with a bike helmet on going #2 for the first time with out my help. Oh he was so proud.


I also got proposed to by both my boys just days apart. Corbin says he will buy me 2 rings {just like daddy did}. Of course I will marry both of them rings or not.


Today I spied Corbin doing push ups in his room before getting dressed. He didn't get that one from me. That is all him.


I love when Cooper puts his arms around me and says in the sweetest little voice "I protect you mommy" then sighs and holds me tight.


These are just a few of the memories I wish I could download. It has only been a day or two and I already forget details. I know these are just little moments, but they are the moments that remind me how lucky I am to be a mom to these two boys.

Zzzzzzzz....

Cooper usually wakes up around 6:00 in the morning.
It is after 10am and he is still asleep!
{I think I am a little jealous}
I have peeked in and yes, he is still breathing...but I have to admit that i was a little worried
Guess we'll be skipping nap time today, but I can deal with that.
The BIG question is "Will He Wake Up Dry" (Smile).
**He finally woke up at 12:40, after I opened his door and started doing laundry by his room. The rest of the day was hilarious. He we so confused he never quite caught up. Oh and yes he did wake up dry. happy day.

Splish Splash

Corbin's Last Ear Tube Came out Monday.
WE CAN SWIM THIS SUMMER!
Ahh we are so excited.
However, he has been disappointed every day since, that the coolest thing he has gotten to do is shower with out an ear plug. He wants to splash.

Two weeks later...


So it has been two weeks since the last potty update and things are going great. On day 4 we put some pants on and got out of the house for the first time. And by day 5 I was running full mornings of errands and Cooper was staying dry.


He still has the occasional wet undies, but really nothing that has needed more clean up then a pants change and those are rare now.
Nights are going okay. We are having more dry nights than wet, but still not 100%. Lots of nights we wakes around 1am to pee, but he has gone whole nights with out waking and he surprises me with dry jammies. He wakes every morning and happily asks if it's his potty training day!


I am still giving him potty treats for most of his efforts and sometimes he doesn't want any.


I was worried about public bathrooms but he does great and will even go #2 while we are out. So while he prefers his little potty at home I don't have to worry about bringing it with me {except to the parks that have no facilities}.


Yea Cooper, he's a natural at this potty training stuff.
