UNC game!

Still playing catch up... A while back, a friend who reads the blog (hi, Alyssa!) messaged me asking if we wanted tickets to the Carolina game on the 23rd.  We had nothing else going on and we knew the kids would love it (especially Cal!) so I said YES PLEASE! She said she didn't know anything about the seats, but that they were pretty good and you could eat and drink beer while watching the game.... well, the seats were in the blue zone-- so fun!

The last game Andy went to, he was scared of the fireworks... we actually think he was scared of the loud noises.  Dad found some of his hunting head phones and Andy LOVED them! They worked great-- and went with us to Texas for the TCU game!

He liked them so much, he wore them at breakfast before the game:

He wore them while getting dressed to go to the game:

He wore them for the entire game-- even after moving inside.... they stayed on the entire time!

Cal is in heaven watching football.  I honestly do not think there is anything that makes him happier.  He crawled up in my lap here and said "I love football and my girlfriend!" I will not be his girlfriend for long, I know.... but let me tell you- he has me wrapped around his finger when he calls me that!!!

When we got home, the boys felt the need to continue the game:

Alyssa, thank you again for the tickets!!! We had a blast at the game!


 

Big Boy Bed

I have some serious catching up to do!

After our last trip to the beach where Andy slept in a big boy bed, we decided it was time to make the switch at home too.  He loves it! We explained that he is not to get out of his bed-- only mommy and daddy can get him out of bed-- and he has done pretty well with that!

The first few nights were funny (I can say that now).  We would put him down and then an hour later we would hear little footsteps in his room.  One night he came out of his room telling me he needed to peepee.  I took him to the bathroom and pulled his pants down to see his diaper was off.  I asked him where it was and he said "I took off my diaper and put it in trash can." Sure enough, there it was in the diaper pail! ha! But now, he is very good about staying IN his bed.

Every single night when he goes to bed, he says he has to go peepee one more time, which can be frustrating, but that's okay.  He was sleeping through the night great in his bed, but lately has been waking up at night-- NOT cool.  The other night he woke up every 20 minutes.  Uhhhh..... ain't no one got time for that!

He loves his room, and that makes me happy....

Panoramic view of room (needing big letters over his bed, I think):

First time seeing it:

Super excited about it!

Also- I cried when we took the crib down... that thing has been in my house for about 5 years.... I can't believe I don't have a baby in a crib any more!!!! wahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
