All four boys in the sandbox they all play so well together

Logan's friend Ethan invited him over today to try out his slip and slide. We packed a picnic lunch and headed over to Charlene and Ethan's house. We had a great time. It was fun to have all the boys together again.

Charlene, Leah, Jana, and I have been getting together since the boys were about four months old. We used to get together on Thursdays at Starbucks until the boys became mobile and wouldn't just sit there with us. I feel really fortunate to have met them. We all get along really well and our boys play really well together. Charlene and Leah are both teachers so they have the summer off. We hope to get a few more play dates in before the end of the summer.

The boys played on the slip and slide, played basket ball, and played in the sandbox. I did learn one lesson today automatically take Logan to the bathroom every hour when we are at a friends house. He gets to distracted when he is having fun and doesn't want to tell me when he has to go. This was his first accident in two weeks though so I am not complaining. Lesson learned.

Two major milestones

Pretending he is asleep


Silly

I love my big boy bed

Scooby Doo underwear Aunt Leah bought him for staying dry for a week

The first big thing was moving Logan to his big boy room and bed. I wanted to keep the nursery the same so we moved Logan across the hall. He was really nervous about the new room and a different bed. He Loved his crib and his room. We put his ocean wonders music aquarium on his headboard and he decided his bed wasn't so bad. He has been sleeping in there for about a month now. He loves it.
The second milestone is that Logan is completely potty trained. He has been poop trained for about two months. He hated poopie diapers so that was easy for me. After I had been home for about two weeks I decided to start potty training. I let him go around naked and he had a few accidents , but then started using the potty. I bought pull ups and started using those and he would just pee in his pull up. So we headed to the store and bought 4 packs of underwear. He had three accidents the first day and has been dry for almost two weeks now. No Accidents!! I am so proud. He even stays dry through the night and at nap time. He hated feeling the wet on his underwear that first day. I am definitely in trouble with the next one there is no way it will be this easy next time. I am so proud of him.
I have three goals before the baby comes 1. Get Logan in big boy bed (Check) 2. Get Logan potty trained (Check) 3. Get rid of the paci at night ( We don't use it during the day but night time is still a thing). We will work on #3 I am not going to push anything right now because I feel he has accomplished so much in the last month. :)

Birch Bay

Jana and Janson


Logan and Aidan

My friend Jana called and asked if Logan and I would like to meet them out at Birch Bay for a fun morning. My friend Jana had been invited by her friend Kim and her family. We had a great time.I forgot my camera in the car so I only got pictures of our picnic. I was bummed because there were seven little boys playing in the water and on the beach. Logan discovered how fun it was to pee in the bushes with his friends. I wish I had a picture of the four bare bottoms. I hope to go out there again with all of them.

Logan and I have been meeting up with friends at the library on Fridays for there outside lunch concerts.They have been a lot of fun I actually remembered my camera this time. We met up with my friend Charlene and Logan's friend Ethan. Logan started out in sweat pants because it was chilly at our house ,but I convinced him to switch to shorts because it was roasting.
