Milestones

There have been a few major (and a few minor) milestones we've reached here lately. 

 

1.  I'm not sure if I ever officially shared it on this blog, but both boys are potty trained.  They were champs.  We started right at about 2.5 and they did great.  They totally surprised me as I was ready for the battle of the century.  Our strategy was basically this:  We put them in underwear.  The end.  I know, not too fancy or by the book, but they got the hang of it really fast.  :)

2.  Big(er) boy beds.  We finally took a crib rail off and the boys are doing great.  So far, they stay put and we have no little middle of the night wanderers.  We'll see how long this lasts as we are likely in the honey moon period.

3.  "Whhhhhhy?"  Yup.  Both of them.  Jake was first.  Charlie picked it up the next day.  Joy.  ;)

4.  At a few months shy of three-years-olds, Charlie completed his first 100-piece puzzle all by himself.  He is on another puzzle binge lately and the house usually looks like a puzzle shop.  Too bad this is not an Olympic event.

5.  Jake edited mom's first grad school paper.  He asked me if I would draw a "Letter A?" on it.  I think the boy has good editing skills.  :)

6.  Finally, this isn't so much of a milestone, but just pretty darn cute.  There is not much cuter than little ones in their PJ's, but I think we've discovered that little ones in robes are it.
