I have been meaning to update for a while now, but I haven't seemed to have any downtime since thanksgiving. Kevin and I got iPhones this week so now I can update from my phone. I'm nursing Keegan and writing a blog post right now!
We went up to the cottage for thanksgiving and it was great. We hadn't been up since Ronan was a baby so it had been far too long. It was such a gorgeous weekend so him and James spent most of the weekend playing outside and throwing rocks in the water.
Since then, we have signed Ronan up for preschool and he starts next week. He is also going to see the speech pathologist on November 21.
Keegan is up to 17lbs and is pretty quick getting around now. He seems to be so much bigger than Ronan was at this age but in actual fact they were the same size.
On Friday we are going skating with our playgroup. It has been a few years since I have been on skates so we will see how that goes. Keegan is going to hang out in the stroller in the penalty box with the other babies while we skate.
We have been part time potty training Ronan, meaning that we have been taking him to sit on the potty whenever he has a diaper change, but not really in between. On Friday, I noticed that he was dry in between diaper changes and consistently peeing every time I put him on the potty. We didn't have any plans for the weekend, so I figured it was as good a time as any to try and get him out of diapers. Saturday morning he woke up dry and immediately had a huge pee in the toilet. I put him in a pull up and we went from there. He did great! All day, he stayed dry and I was taking him approximately every hour to try and pee. He has yet to poop on the potty but we will get there in time. Also, he isn't saying he needs to go yet, but, baby steps!
Saturday night, it was really chilly but we decided to go for a walk to the park after dinner. When we got back, hot chocolate sounded like a really good idea. Ronan had never had it before, and boy, was he happy!
The other big thing that happened on Saturday, was that Keegan started pulling himself along the floor. He is officially on the move, and its only a matter of time before he is fully crawling.
Sunday, we had a lazy day, but kept up with the potty training, and Ronan helped me make some yummy cupcakes!
Monday, we had our friend Christine over and her 2 boys Jacob and Logan. They are the same ages as Ronan and Keegan so it works out perfectly for play dates.
It is now 5pm on Tuesday and Ronan is still dry and has had only 2 or 3 "accidents" all weekend. I got him some Thomas underwear in a size 2 but his little bum is too small!
Friday, we are off to the cottage for Thanksgiving. We haven't been since Ronan was a baby, so it should be fun!
