Sometimes the best part of my day is to cuddle with my boys as they fall asleep or as they're just waking up. Things get so busy and LOUD during the day that there's hardly time to reflect on just how much the little cuties mean to me. Thank you God for trusting me with these awesome little boys. Mason will be turning 3 very soon and he'd like to have a Superman party. (or Sooopaman paudy...in Mason lingo). So today I began making 13 little "sooopaman" capes for his big day. He wants me to make spaghetti and garlic bread...that should be a clean party....ugh! As cute as his Mason lingo is to Daddy and I, I reget to say, that we have begun to correct him. I know, it's sad. But I don't want him going into Kindergarten calling girls, "dirls" ya know? So our mission is one word a day. Could be any word. Just whichever word happens to tickle us the most I guess.
Jackson had his last basketball game today and he earned a white star on his jersey for Christ-like behavior and a blue one for defense. We've had a nice time with his first basketball experience but, between you and me, I'll be glad to sleep later than 7am next Saturday morning. All of his games were 8am every Saturday morning and although we did get used to it, I'm not sad to see it go.
Owen is learning more and more new words. Whatever you ask him to say, he'll try. He's pretty good at please and thank-you. He's also really good at saying people's names that he loves. He has also started potty training. Jax and Mason potty trained early and easy, I hope he does the same. It would be nice to have him out of diapers before summer time.
However, we do have one who can NOT make it through the night without a pull-up (sometimes he even pees through the pull-up). It's getting frustrating. I've tried positive reinforcement, underwear at night so that he can feel when he's wet, even set my alarm twice a night to get him up to go potty. He gets really upset about it, especially when his brother does a better job at making it all night long than he does. Any suggestions?

I bet you are more used to the drill than I am since my last one was trained 6 years ago. It's probably something simple like a small bladder...hopefully the neurons connecting the feel of the wetness to his brain will work harder soon! I will say a prayer for the little guy! I love bedtime, too, even with my nearly 13 year old. I watch her drift off and look at how beautiful she is and see her turning into a young woman right in front of my eyes and I thank God for trusting me with her. Then I go watch my middle baby sleeping in my Grandma's room, looking after her and I am reminded of how God watches over us just as closely. She makes me proud! And then my boy, who is a literal miracle, he's just got me wrapped around his finger and he knows it. I call him squish because that's how he feels when he hugs me...squishy! Yep, those quiet times are peaceful and reflective for me too!
