Good Day?

Lately we have been having issues with Brayden at daycare. We are not sure if it is a terrible two phase he is going through or if it is the fact that he isn't an only child anymore. But he has been hitting, throwing toys, and not listening at daycare. Sean and I are constantly having talks with him about this and taking things away from him to try to teach him. All to no avail it seems. Everyday we pick him up, we get a bad report from the teacher. Finally, yesterday we picked him up and she said he had a good day! Yay!! She said she tried something new yesterday to try to figure things out since Brayden is not the only kid in his class being naughty. She broke the class in to groups and seperated the kids that seem to have the problems. She said that it worked and she had a good class yesterday. Here is a conversation between Sean and Brayden on the way home from daycare yesterday:

Sean: Hey Buddy, what did you do at daycare today?
Brayden: I didn't hit!
Sean: That's great buddy! But what did you do at daycare?
Brayden: I didn't punch!
Sean: (Trying to hide his laughter) That's great buddy, but what DID YOU DO at daycare?
Brayden: I don't know.

Haha....he was just so happy he was a good boy that he completely forgot what he did the rest of the day. :) So cute. And we were so proud that he was a good boy!

I'm Still Here!

Where has the time gone? I can't believe it has been almost a month since I have written a blog! So much is happening around these parts.



Conner is doing great! Finally got his days and nights figured out and is already mostly sleeping through the night! Such a difference from Brayden who didn't sleep through the night until he was a year old! Conner is such a happy baby; always smiling, laughing, cooing. All I have to do is look at him and he gets the biggest smile on his face. He definitely brightens my day. His first day at daycare was last week and he did better than I did! He is having a little difficulty sleeping there because he was used to it being quiet when he slept at home. Now there are crying babies, people talking....it just isn't quiet enough for him. So hopefully that will improve once he gets more used to it there. All I know is that I can't wait until the end of the day so I can rush to daycare and get my boys!



Brayden is doing great too. He is almost fully potty-trained! Whoo hoo!! He has done such a great job and it has been fairly easy! He continues to love daycare and his friends there and is quite happy that Conner is there with him. He goes and "checks up" on Conner a couple times a day. :) He LOVES being outside and will be out there until we drag him inside kicking and screaming. He is such a good big brother and loves helping out and giving Conner kisses. He has such a big heart and is so thoughtful. And the things that come out of his mouth are so funny. He definitely keeps Sean and I laughing. He is such a joy!



Vacation is less than one month away! It will be a nice break from work, to kind of slowly get back in to the groove of things after being away for 9 weeks. I am very much ready for the beach, sun, family, and ice cream! :)



Here are a couple recent pictures to enjoy! And I will try to blog more often and keep up on things!! :)
