First Prayer

Tonight Tavin took his bedtime prayer into his own hands...

He thanked God for his mom and dad and prayed that all the books have children :)

What a little sweetheart.

Remember Verse

Potty Trained!

Tavin is now among the potty trained :) To my surprise, it wasn't the candy that worked... it was the sticker chart! He just loved getting those darn stickers! I would have never imagined that would work on Tav, but thanks to a suggestion from a friend, I tried it and Tav was proud to potty.

When Tavin filled a line on his chart he got to pick a prize from the prize box which was filled with a bunch of Bruce's old cars, motorcycles and construction vehicles that he was "saving" all these years. You should have seen the way his eyes lit up when he got to pick a prize!

It's been about a month now with only a few accidents. He gets disappointed and says, "It's gross? Is that gross mom? I made a mess?" Such a sweetheart :)

Happy Easter!

This Easter weekend was really fun! Tavin was just old enough to really enjoy Easter egg coloring and hunts and even told us his remember verse many times, "Jesus died, and rose again!" That lil guy is such a great big blessing to us.

Saturday we spent time with our neighbors at a pancake breakfast and egg hunt then colored eggs. Tavin really got into it and definitely cracked a few in the process of dunking! We were all very colorful by the end of the night :) Sunday we had a big family breakfast on the patio and Tav had a egg hunt afterward. Then we and all went to church at CCV where we had a little lunch afterward and watched Tav play in the big field with the kids where he ending up doing a backward somersault after Papa sent a HUGE bouncie ball his way!

Also, since I've written last we have some big news to share... We are expecting baby #2! This lil one is due November 5th and I'm betting his or her birthday will be very close to Tavin's. When I was pregnant with Tavin we had decided not to find out if he was a boy or girl until birth and we're going to do it the same way this go 'round. Tavin keeps telling me he's going to have a baby sister... we'll see! He IS excited to be a big brother, although I'm not sure he REALLY knows what's going on. When I tell him I have a baby in my tummy he tells me to take it out haha!
