speaking of big boy beds....

now that my big brother has his own bed, i have a new crib to play in(and eventually sleep in)

unfortunately I do not think big brother is ready to give it up

maybe if i try the vulcan grip...

yikes he brought a hammer!

ok maybe we both can play in here!

 

Who likes underpants?

Potty boot camp works. 1 weekend and a few days - no clothes and towels and blankets on all chairs and seats except for....

Vivienne's Bumbo....

...sorry baby...I think she forgave you.

Chocolate incentives (m&m's and uncle Sean chocolate (Hershey's) )probably helped too.

But most of all, the #1 incentive was big boy underpants.

 

Goodbye diapers. Hello Cars and Thomas underoos.

We are so proud of you lil guy.

Accidents do still happen...the other day Ollie went into the bathroom to wash his hands after eating and all of a sudden Tracey heard, "Stop! Stop! No! Stop! Why you won't stop?" Worried, she yelled, "Ollie is everything ok? "No!" he said, "Something is wrong!" She ran in to find him in front of the toilet standing in a big puddle of pee--he hadn't quite made it to the potty in time. When she asked him what happened he said, "I tried to tell it to stop but it wouldn't stop."

 

MAS PRIMOS!

It is awesome watching Ollie get along so great with his cousins. Here's a few more from the HersheyMaurer's visit for Ollie's bday.

First Easter

Vivienne's first Easter...someone is going to be crawling soon.

Sleepover!

Ollie's cousins came over to celebrate the big THREE. I think the highlight for Ollie was sharing his room and having a sleep over. Note below who is sleeping in the toddler bed and who is sleeping in the big boy bed. Not sure how he convinced Sofia.

It's awesome watching these guys get along. At one point In the weekend Matias was calling Ollie his brother.

We put the kids down around 930. They were up till 1130 giggling and telling stories to each other.

I guess at some point we will have to take down the video monitor in the kids' room, but for now it's great to catch moments like this
