Botty?

At times last week Jude would come up to me and say "botty"...and I would just look at him and say "ok, yah" and smile...not knowing what he really meant.. So, over the weekend, he saw me going to the bathroom and said "botty"..."OH, I get it, you mean Potty". So, all along, he was trying to tell me he had to go potty.. Silly me! Well, last Thursday he went once at daycare and then again yesterday. I haven't yet seen proof, but hopefully it's just around the corner (like before April 24th :) We'll see.

PS: RB won last night by 2points. We play Putnam for Regional Champs on Friday on their home court. Be praying!!!

Go Rockets!

Well, the rockets had their last home game on Friday night and Jude was rarin' to go in his Black & White! They won and now have a 19W & 7L record for their season. Tuesday night starts the regionals. If we are blessed w/ a win Tuesday, we play Wed. and again if we win, then there's championship game Friday. Hopefully this isn't our last Friday night game. Jude has thoroughly loved going to the "e-e-ball" games this year. Everytime we leave to go somewhere he says "e-e-ball??"...hoping we'll say "Yes!"

Things You Might Find Under a Bed

1. Kleenex
2. Sock
3. Dust
4. Underwear
5. Shoes
6. A 20-month-old
That's right! I awoke early this morning to a crying little boy...I run into his dark room, trying to squint and see where he is in his bed, only he's not IN his bed.. I look to the corners of his room, which he now resorts to when waking up, but he's not there either.. The tears are still coming and I kneel down beside his (low-to-the-ground) toddler bed, only to find him CLEAR under...I mean, against the wall! I have no idea how long he had been down there or how he got under there, but I had to drag him out by his feet...poor thing! Luckily, he did fall back asleep in our bed within minutes...Anyway, if you're missing a kid; might want to check under the bed first!

Trials of "The Big Bed"

So, we (I) decided we could not be procrastinators when it came to switching Jude from Crib to "Big Bed" since we have a baby coming in April and that would be an adjustment in itself... Me, being the planner I am, thought we should try w/ plenty of time to spare for issues. Abe, on the other hand, saw no need to start early. I let it go for a few weeks and then brought it up again. This time he didn't fight me. So, Friday night...woke up twice--not bad for the first night. Saturday night; slept all the way until 5:30am. Sunday night; again 5:00am. Monday night; woke up at midnight; and then when I went in to wake him at 6:30, he was sound asleep on the floor. I think he decided "forget this bed"...he had his blanket wrapped around him and everything. I wish I would've gotten a picture of it! Anyway; pray for our patience in dealing w/ this big adjustment and for Jude to become adjusted to this new way of sleeping! We need it!
