Big Boy Bed

Since Andrew is now three, we decided we should probably change his bed into a toddler bed. This pretty much consisted of taking the front part off of the crib. I know it sounds crazy that we haven't done this before now, but he's never tried to get out of it and then we moved and yada yada yada. Anyway, he now has a big boy bed. We went in his room tonight and told him it was time for night night and he climbed right in. We prayed and then said goodnight and left the room thinking he would be up 2 minutes later. So far, he's been in there about 40 minutes and we haven't heard a peep. I think it would be hoping for far too much to think that he's not going to get up at some point tonight, but he may just surprise us!

Birthday Fun

Saturday was Andrew's 3rd birthday!! I just can't believe it. We celebrated by having a very small party. It consisited of us and our music minister, his wife and their son James who is Andrew's age. Even though it was small, Andrew had a blast! We had it outside since one of Andrew's presents from us was a swimming pool. Andrew's favorite thing is playing in the water and since Nana got him the water/sand table and we got him a pool, I think he's set. By the way Nana, we are just putting water in the water/sand table because there is so much splashing that goes on, the sand would just turn to mud.

Nana Comes to Visit!

Nana came to visit this past weekend and she brought presents!!! Andrew's birthday isn't until Saturday, but she has to work so she came this past weekend instead. He got a sand/water table, a big sandbox, some books, sunglasses and clothes. I might be leaving something out, I can't remmeber. But needless to say, he's quite spoiled by his Nana. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's for lunch on Friday where Andrew has a blast!! He is so funny in there...he just runs around pushing the buttons on each game. He did actually "play" a few this time. The would be him putting the coin in the machine and then running to another game one once it started whatever it did. Here are a few pics of the visit.



On a separate note, we are getting a dishwasher this week!!! I am soooo excited! It's been a long road getting to the point where they can actually install it though. When the cabinet guy originally came to cut out the place where it goes, he found mold. Thankfully it wasn't black mold, but they still had to treat it. That took basically two days. (This might be the reason Andrew's allergies and now asthma have been flaring up...hopefully this will take care of it) Then the electrician guy has been here in the evenings to do the wiring. The dishwasher will be here Thursday or Friday and then the plumber will have to come and do his part and then install it. So apparently a lot goes into putting one in when there wasn't one previously, but I know it will be worth it in the end! We are going to have another mini birthday celebration this Saturday and I will post some more pictures sometime after that.
