It's Potty Time!!!! July 16, 2009

Mommy and Daddy bought a stool and an Elmo potty insert for home. Jake sat on it this weekend and wasn't too happy. I sent this photo to the family. Rob was so impressed with Jake's technique he showed some of the coaches. He only hoped that when he turned to face the camera he didn't miss.

Ms. Allison is the "potty whisperer". She graduated all two year olds to the 3 year class room and they were all potty trained. Lets hope Jake can keep up with the big kids. Jake has tinkled but hasn't had a full pee pee. He talks about #2 but we aren't there yet. Ms. Allison brings the kids in shifts to learn. The boys watch each other and learn by wanting to be a "big boy".

Jake's first day in the "big two class". Ms. Allison wrote this note:

"Jake had a great day. He has adjusted wonderfully and loves his new friends. He is so sweet and I can't wait to watch him grow in this next year! I absolutlely love the random sweet kisses he gives"!

These photos below are of his class with Ms. Chelsea.

Jake and Alix are moving in July to their new class with Ms. Allison and Ms. Beth. Jake's school director Heather said that Jake did great in his 1/2 day with the big 2 year olds. He was having so much fun he had a "mini fit". We were happy with the report and giggled about the fit.

Jake was in the zone watching the fireworks shot over the lake in Coppell. He stayed up till 10:30pm and he was not grumpy.

Jake and Alix hanging out waiting for the fireworks to start. They did great, of course the snacks helped keep them happy.

What a sweet smile.

Swimming fun!

Lots of fun with our new grass area for the bounce house or playing in the tunnel.Its snack time by the pool. What a tough life for two year olds.
Pool side with popciles. It is one of the many ways to get Jake into the pool. We also use lots of balls to get him in. Jake is doing great jumping off the side to us. He likes that he makes a big splash.

Happy 2nd Birthday! Its all about bouncing, bubbles, and balls!

Yummy I love cake!

Great shots of all the kids coming down the slide attached to the bounce house. The kids were champs in the 105 degree weather.
Jake's birthday kiss from Ms. Alix!!

Nana and Auntie made the trip to Texas for Jake's big day. By day two he was saying "Nana and Auntie" and pronounced them well.

Let's take Nana and Auntie out for BBQ.
