Sunday: Baby, Monday: Big Boy!

Sunday was like any other day with Rowen, he was a little bit sick, he was cuddly, and he was my baby. But Monday Rowen woke up as a BIG BOY! I was doing the dishes, and I was armpit deep in dish water, so I was trying to hurry and finish before I went up to get him. The monitor was right beside me, and I could hear him talking to himself. A few dirty dishes later the direction of his voice snuck right up behind me because my big boy was WALKING down the stairs! He climbed out of his crib for the first time! After breakfast I was so curious that I put him in his crib to see how he did it. He was a total pro and was out in about 3 seconds without even faltering. So, we decided that it was time to convert the crib to a toddler bed. It was kind of a sad moment for me. I can't believe how fast he is growing up!


This picture was taken about a week ago, (in the pitch black, that is why it is so fuzzy, I couldn't hold my camera still enough for the whole minute the shutter was open!)


And here is my big guy in his toddler bed!

(Well, he doesn't seem so big when he is laying next to his 5 year old sister!)

To top the day off, Rowen came into the kitchen and announced "POTTY!" I figured that he was just starting to get curious about the potty, as he sees us come in and go out of the restroom. So, I brought him into the bathroom, set him down on the toilet and surprise! He went Poop on the potty! (Sorry, too much info!) But I was so shocked! I had no idea that he knew what happened on the toilet!

I feel like I entered a whole new dimension of motherhood, with two big kids, and no babies!What a weird and exciting day!
