So Exciting!

Something happened today that is so exciting I can't even think of an original title for this posting...but first...a few pictures from the last week...

It finally got warm enough we got out the pool...the boys were so excited to get in I couldn't even wrestle on their swimmie diapers...oh well! Good thing we have a 6 foot fence!

David and I were working on planting some vegetables across the fence from the boys and Harrison decided to supervise!
That night Maria came to have a sleepover with Sheniah. It was a lot of fun...the girls had a great time helping me go shopping, painting their nails, and doing lot's of fun "girlie" stuff!
This is the "morning after" shot!
Later that day we went to the park and had a picnic. The kids had a lot of fun, even though Maria stubbed her toe!

Michael had fun running up and down the hill with Nonnie chasing after!
Then we went to Alison and Brandon's for dinner and some good play time. Michael spent most of the day without a diaper on and peeing on bushes and trees...very exciting!
Here are the boys in the playhouse!
Harrison with hair!!!!
HILARIOUS!!!! I'm having total 80's hair-band flashbacks!!! haha
The next day it hit me....on March 21, Harrison was the exact age Michael was when Harrison was born. When I look at him I can't believe Michael was that little when Harrison was born! I can't believe I made it through that time with both of them...thankfully my mom and David were both here a lot the first month or I don't know how I would have survived! Also, I am VERY lucky Michael came first...he may have been a high maintenance newborn, but at 15 months he was NOTHING compared to how naughty and busy Harrison is now!
Michael in his backpack from Grandma!
Last night Sheniah had a choir concert at school. David was able to get off work early so I could go (without the boys) and actually be able to enjoy the concert! It was great! The pictures are horrible...but at least you can kind of make her out!
Finally, the very exciting part...
Harrison has been coming along with Michael each time I take him to go potty. At first he would just stand their and observe, then he wanted to sit on the potty chair (which prompted the purchase of a second potty chair - we definitely need a bigger bathroom!!!) and finally he got to where he would get really mad if I didn't take his diaper off just like Michael. So, the last few weeks we have been going in several times a day and trying. Harrison just sits there until I get him off, or sometimes he jumps off and I have to chase him down. Anyway, this morning we did the usual after breakfast potty break. Michael didn't do anything and (as usual) was really not interested. So after sitting for a few minutes I got Michael off the potty chair and sent him to Daddy to get a diaper on. Then, I got Harrison off his potty chair and guess what...he had gone potty!!!! It was so exciting!
That's it for today. Love to all!
