Wow summer has come and gone and I didn’t write about any of it. Probably goes to show how busy we’ve been. I could sit and write about everything we’ve done done, but honestly I know you don’t want to hear all about our daily activities!
A “quick” overview would be…Bo went to summer camp two days a week for 5 weeks which was great for him and mommy!! I spent a lot of those days getting ready for our new MOPS year. At the end of last year I was asked to be on the steering committee. It’s so much fun, but entails a lot right now so it has kept me very busy. I’m also working on a wedding shower for my dear friend, Kellie, and a baby shower for my sweet baby niece, who I can’t wait to arrive! The last week of July my parents were kind enough to take Bo so Jarrod and I could have some alone time. WOW…you forget how great it is to spend time just the two of you when you haven’t done it in so long. Bo had a blast, when we went to pick him up he didn’t even care that we were there. Guess that means it was a great stay! I wouldn’t mind it either if I got as spoiled as he did :)
We are spending the last two weeks of summer potty training. He’s been doing it on and off most of the summer, but we decided to really buckle down this week and see where it leads. I’m going into it with the mindset that if it works great, if not we’ll try again in a few months. So far he’s done pretty well. We will also soon be moving him into a big boy bed. Right now he’s still in his crib and still to this day he hasn’t climbed out, however he’s getting so strong that he’s knocking the front rail off the track when he starts kicking it. It’s to the point where if we want to keep this crib in one piece we probably need to make the move sooner rather than later. Then this weekend may be the big binky good-bye. We’ve been talking about it for a long time and honestly it’s mommy who hasn’t wanted to let it go. Mostly because that’s his last “baby” thing, but I know it needs to be done. He’s only allowed to have it at naptime and bedtime so at least I don’t have to break him of it during the day, but I know it’s going to be a long few nights. That’s why I have decided it’s going to be done over a weekend so I have daddy’s support!
A lot of changes are taking place in the Lawson house, our little boy is growing up so fast!! This fall is going to be super busy too! Bo will be in school M,W,F from 9-1, we added a day and an hour this year! He loves it so much so I know he’ll have a blast. We will have MOPS every other Tuesday and when we don’t meet for MOPS we will be meeting for steering on the other Tuesdays of the month. He is still going to speech therapy on Thursday mornings and is doing so well, his therapist is so pleased and doesn’t know if we’ll even need all 30 visits that insurance allows! I will start fall Bible Study on Wednesday nights. And we will be making a lot of trips back to MS for baby and wedding showers, a wedding in October, and a baby in November, unless she comes early in October. We also have some projects here at home we’ve got to work on such as painting rooms and switching Bo’s bedroom and playroom (due to heat and ac issues).
Here are a few summer pictures for you, hopefully I’ll do better on posting!
only a boy could be entertained with a dump truck and solo cups!
