Happy Birthday Maw-Maw

Today is Maw-Maw G's Birthday. Mommy sent her a card and I drew a picture for her. Wait till you see what I've been drawing lately. Mommy will have to post photos so you can see. I've started drawing circles now. It's really really cool.

Anyway, Hope you had a great BIRTHDAY Maw-Maw!

PRESCHOOL UPDATE

Preschool

Mommy's note: When I picked Cody up from Preschool, the teacher mentioned that he was doing really well on the potty. In fact he hasn't had an accident in his pull up at all. So she suggested that I bring big boy underwear in for him tomorrow. I was completely shocked. We've been working on potty training for a while now. It's kind of been up and down or whenever he was in the mood. I really couldn't get him to do it consistently. This is his 3rd week of school (he only attends 3 days a week) and I'm amazed at how well he's doing. So when I got home I dug thru his drawers to see what big boy underwear I could find. I actually bought him some last Christmas thinking he's be potty trained by spring. HA-HA! So now I have 4 pairs to bring to school with us tomorrow. How EXCITING!

Bedtime

So about a hour after mommy put me to bed, she decided to come upstairs to check on me. She slowly opened my door and I poked my head up. Mommy said, oops, sorry Cody. Goodnight sweetie. I whispered, my parking spot. Mommy looked at me and I said it a little louder. "my parking spot" Mommy finally realized that my favorite blanket was right next to me but I couldn't find my absolute favorite corner of my blanket which I call my parking spot. Probably because I park it right in front of my mouth. :) So mommy grabbed my blanket, turned it around till she found my special corner and handed it back to me. Here you go baby, here's your parking spot.

Thank you mommy, goodnight.

T-Ball

Mommy and Daddy bought me a new toy. What's really neat is that it's a toy for all of us. They got me a T-Ball set. This thing is really cool. You take the bat and hit a red diamond on the ground. That sets up the ball and it's ready for me to hit it. I tried a few times. I even had daddy show me how to do it but in the end I just yelled out: "I CAN'T DO IT! Frustration set in quickly. Mommy thinks it was a combination of me running after the ball when daddy hit it, then getting a little overheated since it was a bit warm tonight.

Riding my scooter

I'm starting to get the hang of my scooter. I'm actually putting one foot on the scooter while pushing off with my other foot. It's really cool coasting along. My buddy Santiago aka Ago (ahhh-go) has a razor scooter. He's only 10 months older but man he's really good with that 2 wheeled scooter. Mine has 3 wheels. Ago even has a ramp. He goes up and down at high speeds. I know one day I'll be really good on my scooter too. Then I'll be ready for my bike. :)

I get chocolate twice!!

Today mommy took me to see Ms. Vicki. She cuts my hair. Mommy told me if I was really good for Ms. Vicki that she would give me a piece of chocolate. Oh boy...CHOCOLATE!!!

I'm getting my haircut cause I'm getting my pictures taken at preschool on Thursday. So I was really, really good and in the end....I got my chocolate.

So I didn't take my afternoon nap today. I fell asleep right before we got home from getting my haircut. That 5 minutes was enough to bring my energy right back. Mommy is a little under the weather so she was really hoping I'd fall asleep. So I ran around the house non-stop till we picked up daddy. On the way to get daddy, I got a little crabby. I was starting to get really tired. When we got home daddy watched OSO with me while mommy quickly finished dinner. We had a really yummy dinner. We had loaded baked potatoes, corn on the cob and hamburgers. Ya...I know, it was suppose to be steak but since mommy had to pick up daddy from the metro, steaks just weren't happening. So with a full belly it was time to get in the tub tub. Right before taking my bath, mommy said it's potty time. So she stripped me down and put my on the big potty. Next thing you know, I did #2. I looked at her, smiled and said, "I get CHOCOLATE!!" So we took my bath, dried off and ran downstairs with my chocolate bar to tell dad. Dad was really proud of me. He broke off a small piece of chocolate for me and for himself. Mommy took me upstairs, got me ready for bed. I gotta wake up early tomorrow for preschool.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE!

Stinky toes

Today we picked daddy up from work. On the way home, daddy said he was hungry for some piggies. I know piggies mean my toes. I didn't want daddy to eat my toes so I said, "Cody has stinky toes"! Daddy said that's ok, I'll just put some dippy sauce on them. I laughed and said Nooooo.

I love my bed

This morning I woke up. I was sleeping in a new bed. Looking around I realized that I wasn't quite sure how to get out of my bed. So I called for mommy. She came in and jumped in bed with me. We snuggle and give hugs. Daddy came in a few minutes later and I yelled out. "Daddy, I love my new bed" Daddy and mommy laughed.

A BIG BOY BED!!!

I'm really excited. All day, something was going on. Mommy was in my room cleaning and moving stuff around. They told me I was getting a big boy bed but I really didn't know what they were talking about. So they let me take a nap in their bed today. I thought that was really, really cool. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep and when I woke up my room was all clear except for my crib. Daddy started taking it apart. I asked him: "Daddy, why are you breaking my bed?" Daddy laughed. He said, I'm not breaking your bed, I'm taking it down because you are getting a new bed. "Oh, ok daddy" Once daddy took my crib apart, I went buck wild. I ran around my room like a crazy baby. Mommy took some video footage and photos of me. She had to document me leaving my baby room behind to get a new big boy room.

Around 6pm these guys in a really, really big truck came to my door. They carried some stuff up to my bedroom. The next thing I knew, my big boy bed was up and they were making their way up the stairs with my dresser. I'm really really excited now. Mommy worked hard all day today. She washed my new sheets and quilt. I've got a construction theme and it looks really really good with my new bed. Mommy will have photos to post later.

Mommy's note: The only thing we didn't like was the delivery guys put up the bed so fast that they failed to install 12 screws. Thank goodness Ken was watching. He saw that they didn't complete the job and he also saw them throw the screws in the trash. Once they left, Ken fished the screws out. We flipped the bed over on its side and Ken then reinstalled the screws where they belonged. I really expected more from Pottery Barn but who knows if the delivery company has anything to do with the store itself. But for the amount of money we paid for that bed, the delivery people should have taken more time to put the bed together. Especially since it was a bed for a child.

Last night in my crib

So tonight was the last night sleeping in my crib. Mommy and daddy ordered me a big boy bed and it's being delivered tomorrow. Not sure what that means but I'm excited. So mommy took some photos of me in my crib. I know, I look way to big for this thing but it took mommy and daddy forever to pick out my big boy bed. Mommy said everything on the market is geared toward girls. There was girl stuff everywhere and she just couldn't find the "right" bed for me. Luckily Pottery Barn Kids had a new line that came out and mommy fell in love.

Anyway, here are some photos of me in my crib. Don't laugh. I have major bed head.

Hey I just woke up.

I'm getting up

OK, I'm ready to get out.

Here's my room. It wasn't really decorated that well. Mommy always wanted to add more photos but just couldn't find the right frames or decorations. So my room was kind of plain on the walls. But my super cool closet made up for it.

Going to see Maw Maw G

We went to see Maw Maw G today. Mommy scheduled a hair appointment so maw maw got to watch me for a few hours. I was really good for her and a had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy's truck is sick so right now we only have 1 vehicle. Mommy would have spent the night but we had to go home and pick daddy up from the metro.

Bye Maw Maw

Pictures for mommy

When mommy picked me up from preschool today I had 2 things in my folder. One was a finger painting picture. It was a school bus that I painted YELLOW! The other was a leaf collage. I colored a few leafs and glued them to construction paper. Mommy was so excited. She has never gotten anything like this from me before. I've done some drawing at our house and mommy has all of those but this was finger painting, coloring and using glue. Mommy just couldn't believe my talents and it's only the 2nd day of school.

1st day of preschool

Today mommy and daddy took me to preschool. At first I didn't want to wake up. 6:15 is just too early. But I finally decided to roll out of bed around 6:45. Mommy had all my stuff ready to go so all she had to do was get me dressed, brush my hair and teeth and put my shoes on. My new preschool is a peanut free/nut free facility. So all mommy has to worry about it eggs and fish. when my preschool is serving those items mommy has to substitute with a food I can eat. So for example, today my school served pancakes. Mommy sent in egg free pancakes. For pm snack, they served a muffin. Mommy sent a egg free cupcake.

We left the house at 7am and unfortunately mommy was so excited making sure she had all my stuff with her that she forgot to take a 1st day of school photo of me. That's ok mommy. You can take a photo later this week.

We got to my preschool and I got really excited. The director walked us to my classroom so mommy could put my pullups, wipes, cot matt, and a change of clothes in my bin. Then we walked down the the cook and gave her my special foods. After that, we went to a special "before" breakfast classroom. I didn't want to go in at first but when I saw all the toys I was really excited. Somehow mommy and daddy slipped out of the room. That's ok, I'll see them later.

LATER THIS AFTERNOON.....

So mommy came into the classroom to pick me up. Ms. Nielle was talking to me and another boy. She told mommy that we had a little scuffle. This is normal on the first day of preschool since all the little kids don't know each other. It takes time to make friends.

Mommy's note: In Cody's class they have a tree with apples on it. Each apple has the name of a child on it. If the apple stays in the tree, the child was good. If the apple in on the grass, then the child didn't follow rules or became aggressive. I'm really hoping by next week, Cody's apple stays on the tree. :)

Rickett's Glen

Maw Maw and I hung out at the top of the mountain while mommy and daddy went for a hike to check out some waterfalls. I really enjoyed playing in the water and the sand. In the pictures below I'm chasing mommy with sand in my hand while she's trying to take pictures of me. Silly mommy.....I said no pictures!!!

So mommy and daddy took a hike down a trail to look at some waterfalls. Here are a few photos of what they saw along the hike.

Afterwards, I enjoyed hanging out with my cousins, Ethan and Tracy.

Off to the cabin

Today we left to goto the cabin in PA. We have a big weekend planned. We're going to hang out in the cabin, cook marsh mellows, goto Rickett's Glen State Park, and chill with my cousins.
