Making my way through this week

I have off all next week so I'm trying my hardest to not let the "Mondays" get to me! This weekend was a great time, even though I suck and don't have any pictures. Peyton's game on Saturday morning was cancelled so I had an unheard of 3 extra hours that I hadn't planned on having to take care of some errands and chores! It was lovely! We dropped Chris' car off at Uncle James' work to get four new tires and then headed on to breakfast at Bob Evans (down on the farm). After breakfast, we did a little shopping and then headed home to wait for Chris' car to be finished. I needed to clean Jackson's room cause he was getting his big boy bed put together and his baby crib taken down! Daddy took apart the crib and Jackson's reaction was priceless when it was headed out of the house in to storage. I watched his face as he saw it leaving the back door. Face falls. He stares. I gave Chris an "uh oh". Then it happened.

"WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT! STOP! MY BED! MY BED! NO NO NO NO NO!". I calmed him down in between my fits of giggles.

After this we headed out to pick up the car and met my mother at Walmart where I got a few more "big boy" things. Last Friday, Jackson informed me he wanted to go potty. I took him in there, sat him down...and he went! I've never seen/heard of a just turned 2 year old potty training himself but it appears this is happening. I got him a potty seat and step stool to help with his endeavors. When we got home, we put his bed together and this is the reaction we got...

He took to it like an old shoe. He slept in his big boy bed without getting up ONCE all weekend. That was easier than I imagined. He's very adaptable when it comes to "big boy" things.

Yesterday, Peyton had a birthday party to go to that Daddy escorted him to at Wills Park. Jax fell asleep before they left and I had a rare hour where I was in silence at home...with the massive headache I was nursing all day yesterday, it was VERY MUCH appreciated. Peyton had a blast, Jackson woke up and took a bath and I zonked out pretty darn early. But at least I got rested up before another Manic Monday.

Oh well, hope this week flies by! Tonight is a game night! GO LUGNUTS!!!
