Potty Training

We started Potty Training Jackson on Monday. I have to admit I was worried how my stubborn child would react. He has done surprisingly well. We started by putting him in underwear on Monday morning. He had several accidents on Monday, but he also had some successes. Tuesday was even better. He spends a lot of time sitting on the little potty watching TV, but it works.  He has been getting a car for going, but now it is just an M&M. We've been staying at home mostly.  We are planning to get out of the house tomorrow, so we will see how that goes!

Touch-A-Truck

We went to the Downtown Market for the annual Touch-a-Truck. The weather was cool and perfect. Jackson liked looking at everything, but he did not want to get too close. Brooks loved it! He got in the boat, went on the bus, sat on the army truck. He will try anything!

We all shared a cinnamon roll for breakfast. Both boys loved it!

Pump It Up

Jackson had his birthday party at Pump It Up in Greenville. It is full of big jump houses and slides. All of the kids had a great time. Brooks loved getting to run around! Jackson loved building with the foam blocks. He even went down the big slide a few times. Brooks went down too, but he was a little scared.

It is a great place to have a party because you get to rotate rooms and it is just your group in the room. The kids can all run, and you don't have to worry about other kids! We had pizza and cake afterwards. Jackson did good when everyone was singing. He also sat in the big chair and opened his presents. I was surprised he did it!

It is a great place to have a party. It was so easy! As we got in the car, Jackson said, " My birthday is over. I want to do it again!" He has had a great birthday week!

Berkley's Graduation Party

I can't believe Berkley graduated from high school. It seems like just yesterday she had all of those curls! We had a lot of fun at her graduation party! Luvie bought the boys cute tiger chairs. All of the little ones had fun running around playing with each other. Jackson and Brynlee ran around yelling " Come out, come out wherever you are!" They were yelling at the lightning bugs. It reminded me of being at Nannie's when all of us were little catching at lightning bugs.

This is the best picture I could get of all of them.

I am so glad that my boys get to spend time with family especially all of their cousins. Some of my favorite childhood memories are from family events and trips.

School's Out!

We wrapped up school for the year, and I am definitely glad for a break.  Overall, I had a great class this year, and I will miss them. I had some students who really had a difficult year outside of school. I feel really badly because there isn't anything I can do to help.

I am ready for less stress! I am excited about spending the summer with the boys!

Swimming lessons

We started swimming lessons this week. Both boys are loving it. They are in the same parent and child class. Jackson is the oldest, but I didn't feel he was ready for the preschool class. I am proud of how Jackson is doing. He is not scared and has been jumping in. Brooks is a total water baby and loves everything about the water. He has started jumping in too!

Jackson's Birthday

Jackson had a great birthday. He made cupcakes with Noni. It was TuTu Wednesday! He wanted Skins Hotdogs for dinner. Noni and Papa Jerry came over along with Brent, Whitney, and Parker. The boys played outside. Jackson opened some of his presents. He was excited!
