Supervision is key!

Wow...I leave him for a couple of minutes .....
and this is what I come back too!

Re-do...Bathrooms

Hey everyone, this post has been a long time in the making, and I'm finally going to post the before and after photos of our two bathrooms! Ryan and I live in an older home and have always wanted to remodel the bathrooms and kitchen...so we started with the two bathrooms. Thankfully they are small therefore the cost of materials was not too bad. Ryan did all the work after his reg. job and on the weekends...it took a while, but we are thrilled with the final outcome!

Day Seven...clean (pants) and sober (bottles)

After the last couple of  Dr. visits we decided to talk to Jonas seriously about giving up the bottle.
We talked to him for about a month off and on and every time without a doubt he'd say NO! I'm not sure what exactly pushed us to do it, but we went cold turkey this past Saturday! He's doing great so far. I was ready for a fight because Jonas drank his bottle throughout the day especially in the mornings, nap times, and at bed time. I for sure thought he'd be a wreck! Of course he's asked for it a couple times, but after I remind him that all the bottles are gone... remarkably he's fine. Since he's no longer consuming an extra 60oz's he's not having to pee as often...so potty training has been going fantastic as well!! He's even gotten over his phobia of pooping in the toilet! I'm expecting him to slim down a bit...cause even though we were giving him organic fat free milk there's still 90 calories per cup! Let's not even do the math!! I'm ashamed! I really couldn't ask for a better child...he's such a good eater (loves veggies) and adapts so well when you take time out to explain things to him. So, lets celebrate seven days sober (lol) and accident free!! Yippee!!! (not to mention the cash back in the purse...that milk $6/gal and diaper $30/box business will make you consider getting a second job!!)

So cute...I miss him this small!

Notice the bottle under the table...LOL
but he's tearing up that broccoli! 

Best Friends

There is an eighty four year age gap between these two...
but they are best friends!
Jonas instantly formed a bond with his great grandmother and the two are now inseparable! He follows her around from room to room, twirls his hands in her hair, and colors with her every chance he gets! She is leaving back home soon so we took the opportunity to capture a few memories...enjoy!

I wish this was my dentist!

Today I took Jonas to the dentist. He has been to the dentist before when he was about a year and a half. Since then the Dr. has moved locations, but the service did not change at all. I absolutely love this Dr. and his staff,  they are all so sweet and very kid friendly! I recommend anyone with children to check out this dentist, he really is great. The entire experience is dedicated to children from the time you walk in to the time you leave. The theme of his office is an oceanic one. In the waiting room there is a giant boat and lots of toys which are all in front of huge murals. They let Jonas choose a new toothbrush and also let him pick out the flavor of toothpaste he liked. After X-rays he went over to the exam table where he had his teeth cleaned and then the Dr. came in to take a look. Oh did I mention between the x-ray room and the exam chair there was an additional play area! On the way out he got to stop at the treasure box and pick out a take home toy! I'm pretty sure that would have been enough fun for Jonas, but like I said before this dentist really catered to the kids....so before we left Jonas choose a balloon and sticker to take home along with a bag of popcorn. We really had a great experience a year and a half ago as well as today! Oh by the way Jonas got an A+ for his teeth; however, we got in trouble for the use of the bottle!

Three year check up

I took Jonas to the doctor the other day and he did such a great job!

No tears even when he got a vaccine! 

He's growing like crazy and there are a few things we have to work on 

like weight, the bottle, and potty training! 

Stats: 

Height- 39 inches

BBB

Beautiful Big Boy!

Right here she's telling him he has to kick the habit of night bottles! She said he should only have water, no milk.
