catching up....

I haven't been too good at blogging lately. I will try to catch up a little. Peyton graduated from his toddler bed to a big boy bed. Peyton has been potty trained for quite some time now. The peeing in the potty was easy for him but the other, not so much. We made a big sticker chart and every time he pooped in the potty he got a sticker. We told him when it was all the way full he could get a big boy bed. This took months to fill up, as I said it was a big chart. But, it was well worth all his hard work. Peyton wanted a bunk bed like his cousins have. So he got a nice new bunk bed, that he loves so much! I was nervous at first about him going up and down the ladder esp. at night. Peyton reassured me that he'd be fine, he told me he'd practice with his eyes closed. That way he'd be all ready for when it got dark. LOL Well, that didn't help the nervous mom too much. But, he has done just fine on it and he is so proud of himself for earning his big boy bed! Way to go Peyton, we are so proud of you! Peyton has also been really sick this year. We have had a few ER visits and lots of breathing treatments. Poor little Peyton has had to be pulled out of pre-school and Sunday school until April. He is doing much better now. We are still adjusting to being home bound most of the time though. We are super excited that our new nephew was brought to us three weeks ago today! We can't wait until we can go see him. (After the sick season) We love the pictures that we get of him. Peyton was super excited and asked if he gets to be the big brother. LOL I told him no, but you get to be the big cousin. Luckily, that was good enough for him.
