This little boy is growing up so fast! We have had another hectic month in our busy household, that was for sure ;) But it was a month of MANY milestones for Lucas. One of his greatest accomplishments was saying goodbye to diapers!!! We decided he was finally ready to go for it about a month ago. we had been working hard at it for awhile and his school is FANTASTIC at working with the kids to go potty. But he just wasn't ready to go all of the way before. He would pee in the potty pretty regularly but no poop. We did get a few episodes every now and then but not consistently, I didn't want to push him cause I knew that would backfire with Lucas... We did undies some evenings for practice sessions. Finally one weekend we just went for it with the big boy undies and he hasn't looked back! He even does it pretty much on his own, probably out of necessity around here! We are so proud of him :)
His other BIG step was ditching his
paci. He has been a
paci kid from the get-go so I was dreading this one! He has only had it at bedtime now for a few months but still...I figured there would be LOTS of tears and tantrums. BUT we had been talking up being a big-boy and told him he was almost there, we just needed to wear our big boy undies and not use a
paci- for quite awhile. He would come and tell us all about it...Well one night before bed he came down from his bath for books and brought it to me and said "Mommy, I'm gonna throw my
paci in the trash, I don't need it anymore, I am a big boy!" So that was that. No tears!!! Wow, I was completely shocked but so amazed at how much has has grown up over these last few months, really this past year.

Then, we headed to Busch Gardens a few weeks ago with Shannon and Scarlett for a little mommy toddler time. We had a BLAST spending the day with our first borns and watching them experience so many fun firsts yet again. I have always been an amusement park junkie and I was hoping my kids would join me. We will have to see with the next trip...Lucas did great on some rides and heights were not an issue at all. But the motion stuff didn't seem to be his favorite. This was us on the roller coaster BEFORE we took off, half way through he was ready to bail! Looks like he takes after daddy here ;) I couldn't get him out of the water play areas, slides, and the big tree fort. But we had a wonderful day and actually stayed until almost 8 o'clock- dragging the kids out!!!
