10 on Wednesday

1. Time to catch up again! Chase is now a big 3 year old!

2. Chase had his 3 year check-up last week and he has only gained one pound this past year, but....wait for it, wait for it.....he grew 4 INCHES!!! The doctor was laughing because he usually only sees this in puberty in kids. He said we better invest in a basketball goal.

3. Colton went to the doctor last week too. He weighs 19 pounds now. Colton was at the doctor because once again got RSV that got bad enough that led to Bronchiolitis. Not only did Colton get it, but Chase got it again too. So they were both on breathing treatments last week. Chase has gotten so used to it that he loves it now. Colton is able to fall asleep during his treatment now instead of crying.

4. Chase had a great party. Thanks to all of our family and our friends Curt, Kelsey and Finn for coming to the party. Chase loved his homemade Lightning McQueen cake. Pictures to follow.

5. We are now on the hunt for daycare for Colton and preschool for Chase. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would say this, but we will now be paying for two kids to attend a center. It is going to cost us a butt load! I just feel sick thinking about it. We'll be paying more daycare and preschool then most people pay for a mortgage. Ok, I don't know anybody that pays that much for mortgage. It's insane. Those places are just making a killing, they have to be as much as they charge per child.

6. We are going to have Chase screened for Preschool next month. I think he'll do great because he passed every test his dr put him through last week (counting, colors, drawing, talking, etc...) but I'm hoping he has a shy attack and doesn't "perform" so we can get him into the Preschool's in the public schools.

7. Colton is thiiiiiis close to crawling. He has tried a couple of times and went splat on the floor. The motivation to get him to move? The TV remote. Or any toy of Chase's.

8. The reason for us having to find new daycare is because our place is closing. I'm not happy, but everything happens for a reason. This will be good for the boys. I hope.

9. We got Chase a sand box for his birthday. We debated a new/bigger train table but that boy lives to be outside so we chose the sandbox. Good choice because he LOVES that thing. Swinging and playing in the sandbox are his two favorite things to do right now.

10. We had a great Memorial Day. We spent the whole day outside playing in the pool and on Chase's new Lightning McQueen slip n slide. The water was a little cool so Colton didn't like that, but as long as he was on my lap he was fine. Since Chase is potty trained now, he hates the feeling of wet pants. So when his trunks got wet in the pool, he kept thinking he peed on himself and wanted to change. He wanted to just run around naked outside all day.

11. A bonus this week.... I caught Chase peeing in Kyle's exhaust pipe on the Tahoe the other morning. Nice.
