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.

10 on WEDNESDAY
1.Yeah, I know, it's been a while AGAIN. This momma has been busy!
2. The biggest news that everybody has missed is that Chase is potty trained! He has been in underwear for going on 4 weeks now! It literally took him 1/2 day to get potty trained. We had been in pull-ups for a while and he would go in the potty at school, but not at home, and would never tell anybody when he needed to go potty. He would just tell us when he had already gone. So one Sunday I decided he was going to wear underwear and that was that. He did not like the idea after his first accident, but he only had like 3 more accidents after that. He ended up going to Grandma's at lunchtime and spent the rest of the day there in a pull-up, but come Monday morning I put him in underwear and sent him to school. It's been smooth sailing since! He's like that with everything. With crawling, he just got up one day and took off crawling. He never got up on his hands and knees prior to that. With walking, he never took a step or two to practice. He just got up one day and took off. And now with potty training. I am so proud of him!!
3. More big news is that Colton has been sitting up for a couple weeks now and he loves it. Chase loves it too. They can sit and play together now and it is so cute to watch.
4. Colton is saying Mama and Dada like crazy and just jabbering away. He pulled a Chase. He never had the baby jargon, just hummed, and then one day he just started babbling like crazy.
5. MORE big news....Chase turns 3 tomorrow!!! I can't believe it. I'm having a hard time with it. I was putting together a photomontage of this last year and I started crying. Where has the time gone?
6. Also tomorrow is our 4 year wedding anniversary! We have no Anniversary plans as of right now, will probably wait until next weekend when the Birthday excitement has passed.
7. Chase's party is on Sunday. He wanted to have his party at home this year. Just a small affair of family and a couple of close friends. I'm attempting to make him a Lightning McQueen cake. TOnight we are making Lightning McQueen cupcakes for him to take to school. He is so excited about that! In fact, we had tears this morning because he thought today was the day to take them and was heartbroken when I told him it was tomorrrow.
8. I was supposed to go back to the Dermatologist yesterday to have a section of the skin on my left leg cut out, but had to reschedule due to a meeting at work. So that isn't being done until June 6th now. Thank goodness! I am dreading it. I have never had my skin cut and then stitched (well, besides childbirth).
9. Vacation is just a little more than a month away. It's going to be expensive but I think we really need this vacation. We are going to be away from Colton for a whole week, and I am really sad about that, but as long as he doesn't have any major milestones during that week like crawling or a first tooth, then I will survive.
10. I almost cracked yesterday and got a HUGE cheeseburger with a HUGE bun on it. I was THIS close. But then I had to remind myself how sick I could possibly get if I did, so I didn't get it. But man it would have tasted so good!! But I will be eating some donuts up on Pikes Peak next month. Nothing will stand in my way then.
