I love this picture, it shows Nixie's look of pure wonderment! This was while he was watching the jets fly over the Summer Fest parade
Nixie loves to play with all things for Ava Jane, cribs, car seats, laying on her changing table, nothings off limits for him... or so he thinks. Really, I don't think he even cares about her coming, or just can't get into the idea, all he knows is that he doesn't have much of a lap to sit on anymore and gets mad when I can't hold him as much as he wants. Hopefully he won't be crazy jealous when she comes.
OUR BOY IS POTTY TRAINED!! I can't beleive it, and obviously it is an every day work in progress. I was NOT ready for him to be potty trained and if it were up to me I would have waited until he was 3, but the battle of keeping a diaper on, and changing it when he would keep it on was pure hell, so we said, I guess he's ready. He really has done so well, and on the fist day of training after I counted all the times he went pee, I was like BOOYAH we just saved money on 5 diapers!!!!! Yes, it has it's benefits, and draw backs, and I am sure he will have some sort of regression after the craziness when Ava comes, but I don't have a whole lot of options now. Pray for us!
This was just after Nixie got his stitches (busted his teeth through his lip after jumping off the counter in his room). If you can see the puffy eyes of both of us it would explain a lot. I had a serious breakdown when he had the stitches, it was so so terrible, strapping him in a papoose board and sticking a needle right into his cut, and then putting a drape over his face.... it was so AWEFUL! I left the room and balled to Ty on the phone until I could get it together enough to walk Nixie out (which I was still crying for). Man, I have never been so emotional in my life, this girl is stirring up all kinds of hormones I never wanted! Nix is still scared of going to see "Dr. Wind" and yesterday we had his 2 year check up, it wasn't pretty. At least we get another year before we have to go back +cross your fingers+
This is another battle wound with a branch Nix scraped himself with, man we are in trouble, he's going to need lots of band aids in his life I think!
