Lots of Milestones!

The boys are growing so fast! This week was full of firsts, especially for my little Malachi. I've been thinking for a few weeks how much I wanted to potty train him, but kept telling myself that he was still young and not to push it. With Jericho I pushed and he wasn't ready. On Monday morning we woke up and I asked him if he wanted to try underwear. He's worn them off and on without much success, but I told him he could get treats for keeping them clean and dry, as well as for going on the potty. I then left for work : )

I didn't have very high hopes for the process. I figured he would be back in diapers by the time I returned home for lunch. Imagine my surprise when I find out he didn't want to go back and had amazing success! I decided we weren't going back. So long diapers! Bye-bye change table! Wow, you have no idea how great that feels! He's done so good. Two accidents today and only after supper. I think he was tired, and the one time he was outside having fun.

We decided to purchase a bunk bed for the boys while we were out on Saturday. We've been trying to figure out what would work best, but the selling point was Jericho remembering how much fun he had in the bunk bed in Thailand. He insisted that we should buy them a 'ladder bed'. It was a good deal and there was a sale on the mattresses - so we got the nice ones that enabled them to sleep in this morning!

I was out the first night they went to sleep in them, but apparently they were so excited that sleep came quickly. Tonight they both came running out and said they had heard a noise, but once I told them the door would be closed once they came out again that was it.

I'm proud of them. Proud that Kai is excited about wearing underwear and breezing through potty training like a champ. I'm proud of Jericho for sleeping in the top bunk, I'm proud that he cheers his brothers progress... I'm just proud.

Jericho's been into telling 'knock knock' jokes lately, anyone have some good ones for me to pass on?
