Such a big boy...

My little boy is growing up way to fast and this momma does not like it! Well in all actuality I do, but it is so sad to see the baby leave and this little boy take his place. Since baby #2 is on the way I have been super stressed about the transition of our little Chase Man! I am sure every mom goes through this...making sure that they do not feel left out and know that they are still #1 even if there is a #2. So in preparation of baby #2 we got Chase a "Big Boy Bed"....I guess you can say we are too cheap to get another crib. I have been so worried about the transition because not only will Chase move to a big boy bed, but he is moving to another room. (Very scary for this mommy!) So we got him this cute little race car bed, and have started to make this new room all about him and the things he loves! We still have some work to do to get it all done, but I have started having him sleep in his new room for nap time. I have to admit I was very stressed about this transition....In fact the first week in trying to lay him down for naps I laid with him, just so he would be comforted. One thing about my little guy though is he likes his own space and his own bed so I noticed it was hard for him to fall asleep with me in there. So I decided I would just do it....leave him in there and see what he did. I told him I had some things to do upstairs and would come and check on him and that he needed to stay in his bed for nap time, he replied, "Yah," and up the stairs I went. I patiently waited at the top thinking he would come out looking for me. After about 10 minutes I checked on him and there he was reading a book in his bed. (Melted my heart..) Then I proceeded to call Chris to let him know of this accomplishment, by the time I made it back down the stairs he was asleep....and I have done this now for 3 days! He really is such a sweet boy! A great little listener, the best helper in the world, and mommies best pal! Although I know that he depends on me for so much sometimes you just have to give them little wings so they can fly and they will do it! I have not yet had him in his new room for bed time, but I am sure he will do just great, because that is just the kinda little guy he is!

NAP TIME!
I will take a cute pic with the room is all done! Now to part 2 of my little one growing up! As you all know, Chris loves cars and motorcycles, and music, and anything to do with sking and snowmobiling, and football...the list could go on. And all I can say is, "Like Father, Like Son...." 2 Weeks ago Chris said he had found a perfect motorcycle for Chase! Yep....remember he is not even 2 yet, but Chris was so excited and off he went to pick it up! Now I have to admit this little bike is a little big and Chase would probably not be able to ride it until he is 8, but loves riding on the bike with Chris just the same. Hey I even took a spin around the block on it and I am over 5 months prego! It is just so fun to watch the two of them go up and down the street and Chase wave at every car that goes by and squeal with excitement.

Chase and his first motorcycle....(AKA-Daddy's New Toy)Part 3....I know there is SO much so bear with me if you even made it this far. Also in preparation for baby #2 we are getting ready to potty train Chase. I have not started quite yet, and who knows when I will actually get the nerve to do it, but I did pick up some underwear and a little seat for him just to get prepared. Like I mentioned I got the underwear and took them out of the pack to show Chase. They had the Cars characters all over it and he was excited. Well I put them in his room and walked out to go grab something and when I came back and had them on over his pants, with his hat of course! He then wanted to sit on the potty, but with his new car pants on.....All I could do is just giggle! And he wore them around the rest of the day! :) And was proud to show them off to whoever came around! All I have to say is I love being a Mom! I love his little giggle, and that he is such a big helper. I love his little prayers.....He is always the first to bow his head and fold his arms and his actually quite the example for me! I never knew this stage in life could be so much fun and am so excited to have another little boy to just complete our little family even more!
