The Pool is Closed for the Winter

Is it possible Lee could have changed so much from our first day in the pool last spring to the last day in the pool this fall? Yes, I suppose so. Look at that baby face!

And then check out this big boy making fountains, going down the water slide, and wanting to watch videos of himself!

Wearing Aunt Chloe's Shoes

Foreshadowing

This is how Lee was looking about half way into our family weekend a couple of weeks back.

This is likely what his face will look like for a while after Katie Wilkes arrives. It reminds me of Brant's adjustment to Lee. What comes around goes around!

Uh-Oh. What Happened?

Lee is not saying this as much as he was a few weeks ago, but it is definitely one of his favorite phrases. Here, he is pictured asking me the famous question after wiping blueberry juice all over himself at breakfast.

Big Boy Transitions

I have been reading about all the transitions Lee will be going through the next few months, and I always read not to put him through more than one transition every three weeks or so. When he moved to the big boy bed a few weeks back, he was so excited, I honestly didn't think this one would count for us.

He had been climbing out of the baby bed, and seems happy to turn it over to KW. Check.

He never has once asked or tried to get back into the baby bed. Check.

Big smiles and immediately napping again once we had the bed set up. Check.

Then we started on the "bedtime rules". Don't unplug the light and monitor - finally have success! Don't touch the blinds - success achieved after seven broken blinds, but who's counting? And - stay in the bed! I know he still breaks this one sometimes, but I really don't care, as long as he brings whatever it is back to look at before falling asleep. And - for now - he amazingly stays in the bed until we come to get him.

This weekend, on to potty training. I was actually going to put it off for another couple of weeks, but he is becoming very insistent about using the potty and complaining, even when he is only wet. Strike while the iron is hot, right? But he also changes rooms at MDO next week. Two transitions at once, here we go!
