Going to the cross

We spent 2 weeks in March at my parents house. Michael thought Brandt changed a lot during those 2 weeks. He really began talking loud, laughing and being so alert during that time. He had his 4 month appointment and he weighs 15lbs, and drum roll please... he is sleeping through the night. Ahhhh, it's been a long time!! We did the cry out last weekend and after 2 nights he slept through. Although, last night he was up because he was hurting from those stinking shots. Michael had to make a run to Walmart at 3am because our Tylenol had expired and our sample was used up. I am a tired one today, but thankful that Brandt seems to feel better. He sat in his exersaucer for the first time today... it was pretty cute! He slowly made his way around the whole circle. Such small milestones that make a mama so proud. So he continues to make us laugh at how hard and fast he kicks his legs, and how he manages to stick 3 fingers and his thumb in his mouth at one time. I think he is going to be a swimmer and a thumb sucker... we are constantly pulling his thumb out and sticking his binky in. I guess time will tell.

Miss Lucy is almost 3 and absolutely refuses to be potty trained. What can a Mommy do? I know it is something that she has to decide for herself now because she will randomly just go poop on the potty or stay dry for a few days in a row. Maybe when she turns 3 she will all of a sudden realize that she is a big girl and we will be done with it, but then again that most likely won't happen. She is excited about her birthday. If you ask her what Easter is, she says it is my birthday. So we have been trying to teach her about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and rising again on the 3rd day and going to heaven to prepare a place for her one day. So the other day, she came and asked me if we can go to Jesus on the cross and tell him that it is her birthday, too. I just laughed so hard and loved on her because it was just such a precious little thought. At least now when you ask her what Easter is she responds that it is the day that we are going to celebrate Jesus and her. It will be a fun and busy day!!
