I know, I absolutely stink at this whole blogging thing, but whatevs...I'm going to keep on keepin' on. ;-) Here are some shots of my little family on Easter. It was very cool outside and my kids were O.V.E.R. taking pictures. Oh, and I have a crappy camera so this is as good as it gets!

Jax and Elle looked precious, as usual. ;-) I <i>may</i> be a little partial.
Although we didn't travel to be with family this Easter, I knew it was going to be a good day once we got to church and they were playing an old Jaci Velasquez c.d.!!! It was, and still is, my favorite Christian c.d. so I was overly happy about that. I listened to "On My Knees" and "Flower In the Rain" more times than I care to share growing up. Those songs NEVER get old. Here are some pics. of Easter morning at our house.

HAHA! She cracks me up! Jax LOVED the letters the Easter Bunny left he and his sister. He probably read them no less than 10 times each throughout the day! ha! Oh yeah...the Easter Bunny also brought Jax a bike this year, BUT ONLY because Jax just recently learned to ride his tiny 12" one and he desperately needed a new one. I mean, a kid can't be caught riding a 12" when he's almost a 6-year-old, right?!?! Although, that's NOT the reason the Easter Bunny was so generous...it was <i>really</i> because his knees were hitting the handle bars and almost causing him to wreck - YIKES! Daddy had promised that if he learned to ride his bike, he would buy him a new one. It just happened to be Easter weekend when he learned so we decided to go ahead and let it be from the Easter Bunny...it all comes out in the wash anyway, right?!?! ha! Don't worry, he has been warned that next year's basket might not be so "egg-stravagant". Somebody stop me.......
My Mom and Nana came up to stay with Elle while I chaperoned a field trip to the zoo with Jaxon's class and, of course, they showered them with their own Easter gifts. Pajamas, shirts, swim suits, balls, toys, etc. - you name it! lol My kids are <strike>spoiled</strike> blessed beyond measure.
The baskets were great, but the highlight of my Easter this year was most definitely when Jaxon told me that Mr. Don (his Sunday School teacher) told him to share the Easter story with the whole class since he already seemed to know the whole thing. lol I'm sure he was interrupting as he told the story, but it warms my heart to know that my child is listening and learning and absorbing all things Jesus Christ! I LOVE that! He has a WONDERFUL memory also because we probably haven't read the entire Easter story since last Easter.
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well!!! We serve a risen Lord...what's not wonderful about that?!?!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-48687558391021044242012-01-03T12:33:00.000-08:002012-04-14T14:19:48.359-07:00So goes life....Hey!!! It's been a while, I know, but I have a good excuse. My little wildcat (OF COURSE I'm talking about Elle...how did you know?!?! ;-) RUINED my MacBook - as in it is no longer working...at all! <i>Sigh.</i> Long story short, we thought a drink was out of reach for her, but she figured out a way to reach it. I don't guess I need to spell out for you what happened next, but for those of you who might have a hard time reading between the lines, it. DIED. I am using the iPad for now and I. Am. NOT. A. Fan. Lol No, I do not own an iPhone. I still use a blackberry and it suits me fine. I can't stand the touch screen and accidentally hitting the wrong button every single time gets old real quick! I guess you could say I was a little spoiled with the Mac, but it was just that awesome. RIP <br />
ANYWAY, I will spare you all of the details about all of the many thousands of pictures that were lost...ones that were VERY near and dear to my heart. Oh, and so that you don't worry, Elle is still alive and well. ;-) Seriously, I'm having to piece all of my memories back together from the very small percentage that I had on Facebook. Oh well...that's life!<br />
Once I figure out how to add pictures from the iPad to the blog, I will get another post up. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later! Wish me luck!!!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-51224222240492991702011-11-13T20:08:00.000-08:002012-04-14T14:20:19.207-07:00Halloween 2011We had a BUSY Halloween this year...trunk-or-treat with the church, trick-or-treating in costumes around Jaxon's school, and trick-or-treating with friends around our neighborhood! We had a blast and wound up with a ton of candy! Lucky for Daddy & I, Jax doesn't do anything with peanut butter/peanuts (weird kid, I know!!!) so we even got some goodies! ;-) We paint pumpkins at the Perkins house instead of carving. Those carving kits are so cheap...we always end-up breaking them anyway, so we just paint! Mama is able to get more creative with the paint! <br />
<br />
Last year, Jax dressed up as Mario so we had a Luigi pumpkin. Sister had a baby pumpkin...a pacifier and big, pink bow completed the look. Here they were for Halloween 2009:<br />

This year, Jaxon was Toad from Super Mario Bros. and Elle was a sweet little watermelon! Jax opted for a Mario pumpkin (this kid knows how to milk a theme...to death! haha!) and baby sister got a sweet black kitty. Here are my littles this year for Halloween 2011:<br />

And yes...I desperately need curtains in my dining room...desperately. I'm SUPER indecisive and can't decide on a fabric! lol And yes, Jax is sporting an old Halloween costume...and yes, I'm in an old sorority t-shirt. WOW, we went all out for the occasion, huh?!?! Actually, we had been drowning in our sweat at the ballpark the entire morning, so forgive us! Elle looked cute, though, and it was all about her. ;)<br />
Happy first birthday, Elle! We LOVE you SO VERY MUCH!!!!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-48364839251182222052011-10-21T21:25:00.000-07:002011-10-21T21:26:07.368-07:00Jax Starts SchoolSo in August, my little man started kindergarten. i knew I was going to have a hard time with it since this would be the first time he would be away from me. He has never gone to daycare and I did preschool with him at home. Other than the nursery at church and VBS, this was all new territory for both of us. I could hardly believe that the time was finally here. Wasn't he just born yesterday? Wasn't he just tiny and brand new? People always say how fast time goes because it truly does! It <i>flies.<i></i></i> He is no longer a baby, but a little boy and I am trying my best to embrace every stage of their lives rather than wallow in self-pity because they are growing up so fast. Anyway, the time was here and to say that he was excited would be a huge understatement. Trey and I couldn't help, but be thrilled for/with him! I woke him up and made him his favorite breakfast (pancakes), let him watch cartoons for a bit on the Disney channel, got him dressed in his first day of school outfit, and we were on our way. Would you believe me if I told you that I didn't shed one tear until later that afternoon?!?! Well, it's true. I prayed that I wouldn't do the ugly cry and embarrass us all and the good Lord answered my prayers. =) Jax walked right in his class and joined his fellow classmates.. I was so thankful...SO THANKFUL that he wasn't afraid or scared. He has the sweetest little teacher and I just know that he is going to have a wonderful first year at school! Here are some "first day of kindergarten" pictures:<br />

We finished the summer with a few lazy days at the pool, play - dates at The Bounce House, ice cream treats, trips to the park, and new school supplies to prepare Jax for kindergarten...which will be another post for another day. Yep, that about sums up summer 2011. It was the best one yet!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-58053294143343585982011-06-05T19:22:00.000-07:002012-04-14T14:22:10.154-07:00We have had a GREAT Sunday today in the bluegrass. Church this morning was AWESOME and just what I needed to hear. It just may have been one of the best sermons I've heard. It was about growing your faith and having faith in God = good stuff! Vague, I know, but I couldn't begin to share any of it with you because I couldn't do the message justice! After church, we came home to relax and hang out with the kiddos. I am so thankful for my little ones...sometimes I truly feel as if my heart could BURST because it is so full/happy!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSTncWvHxrdfRfsAt6gMBDW-AuSGpZM6f8lToQuBFkz53hS5JsSCFDgIBfrEnxHUAO-jOoxvmxwb8va0xzV-Is-3Tn1hXUpVs4LVyM0cKfJH3h7YyP_ZSkMmp73_2zqpbW0l34jMdAgKc/s1600/DSCN1714.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="240" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnSTncWvHxrdfRfsAt6gMBDW-AuSGpZM6f8lToQuBFkz53hS5JsSCFDgIBfrEnxHUAO-jOoxvmxwb8va0xzV-Is-3Tn1hXUpVs4LVyM0cKfJH3h7YyP_ZSkMmp73_2zqpbW0l34jMdAgKc/s320/DSCN1714.JPG" /></a></div>And please excuse the crazy color in this pic. Elle's room is HOT PINK and I'm poor and don't own a fancy-schmancy camera so sometimes this happens...ugh.

I'll leave you all (hello?!?! Mom?!?! lol) with a few pics from this past weekend of my two tiny loves...Ella Bella is army crawling like a CHAMP, but still won't crawl the real way! ha!

It's been SUPER long since my last post, but I have just been SO busy graduating from college (FINALLY), decorating our new home, training an extremely hyper boxer pup, and oh yeah.... having another baby! That's right... it has been a crazy year for us! My new baby girl, Ellasyn McKay is the new love of our lives. Elle is just as sweet as her big brother, Jax, and we all just adore her! Seeing her with her big brother and her daddy just melt.my.heart! LOVE them! 2010 has been oh-so-kind to us and I can only pray that 2011 is just as generous!=)<div>Anyway, I'll leave you with a few pics of our family lately...enjoy! I'm off to put my little chunky baby to bed for the night.

I am SO VERY BLESSED. I mean, I've always known how fortunate and blessed I am to have this life, but I am truly, unequivocally BLESSED from God. I am 25-years-old, healthy (other than getting completely winded while walking up two stairs or even when I talk too fast), and have an amazing family...all by the grace of God. Upon reading about a couple of families who had recently lost their babies, I had to stop reading to catch my breath from all of the sobbing I was doing. I mean, I have a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY, PRECIOUS child from God and those families <span style="font-style: italic;">lost</span> their babies. I am SO undeserving of this life that I lead...it makes no sense to me. I can't even begin to fathom why God chose me - hand picked me - to be Jax's mommy. All I know is how grateful I am for his love and generosity. I know that those babies are in a better place tonight. I am so very thankful for my healthy, prince, Jaxon. He is such a blessing in our lives. After I count all of my blessings and thank God for all he has given me, I'm going to dream of my prince...here are a few pics. of him tonight...=)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-71010668517049010682009-08-16T06:46:00.000-07:002011-02-08T18:26:47.962-08:00Birthdays & Goodbyes...=)/=(<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kGv9x-8kne_jZP__JNeCpmzHQnWvj4a55gvv4A6L1lw3Y3eLN2GmWT6ZRkOzAgEh9pkN5LrRGp-quxzhVXtqEY7nRnWZLgJhLPCwxd6bFI9pb52rVvSX5Bc-vT7l0_L2AAozwdjgPDyv/s1600-h/019.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9kGv9x-8kne_jZP__JNeCpmzHQnWvj4a55gvv4A6L1lw3Y3eLN2GmWT6ZRkOzAgEh9pkN5LrRGp-quxzhVXtqEY7nRnWZLgJhLPCwxd6bFI9pb52rVvSX5Bc-vT7l0_L2AAozwdjgPDyv/s320/019.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370560469861273442" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNsB8FtSJIrJo0e12fQrXPblsRa0p_NKR4C9PHr2okMqWZSTl2mVyCcs6RXGs-daRNHcQUxER1rPuuXWZEqCZXLNyv7DvkiQRH6oh6u5k06WKrK0XEGatqAV1zWDpCvqaFjnOkmCa0QUE/s1600-h/018.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQNsB8FtSJIrJo0e12fQrXPblsRa0p_NKR4C9PHr2okMqWZSTl2mVyCcs6RXGs-daRNHcQUxER1rPuuXWZEqCZXLNyv7DvkiQRH6oh6u5k06WKrK0XEGatqAV1zWDpCvqaFjnOkmCa0QUE/s320/018.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370560462206374178" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7btEC0WoHyFZouXQB75TNfx_aZNpVEqboxvWGWGMYXXl6nY4P0PkbqjmYQM9DtaAtcCbvIzfv-hO7m2QHLm7PZNrmS4jigUehheD2H2u3TA5d9XCmoKlX4lHgWbShEypdKPqyzTcUoY5/s1600-h/010.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia7btEC0WoHyFZouXQB75TNfx_aZNpVEqboxvWGWGMYXXl6nY4P0PkbqjmYQM9DtaAtcCbvIzfv-hO7m2QHLm7PZNrmS4jigUehheD2H2u3TA5d9XCmoKlX4lHgWbShEypdKPqyzTcUoY5/s320/010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370559917533406338" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlpbsyVjGi1FvHF_xLNcenozAPCaCDEa12mbYMVxmIAT_HE6tAc4riLE7iZF_4DFIvWdl4QVAYc0D2mxOf0R9UoIfoYpq_wRRUu4A_DrRA0qga-CGdSGwOQvmlimPbpdBljlPSzEJEEFB/s1600-h/009.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlpbsyVjGi1FvHF_xLNcenozAPCaCDEa12mbYMVxmIAT_HE6tAc4riLE7iZF_4DFIvWdl4QVAYc0D2mxOf0R9UoIfoYpq_wRRUu4A_DrRA0qga-CGdSGwOQvmlimPbpdBljlPSzEJEEFB/s320/009.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370559909208780882" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJEZUqyQFsyQhgOJBo2iZTlxQj5pSzX9MGsQzVc9xnT0yudhx3G2g9vLU3n3FDsMV6ooi1kCDQNDJVO7lAXcJkw8CLdjLYNGTcH8YRK08QX7Tnm6YQV_iTw3vP7NtrMN5f-Nsw75BCjUQ9/s1600-h/007.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJEZUqyQFsyQhgOJBo2iZTlxQj5pSzX9MGsQzVc9xnT0yudhx3G2g9vLU3n3FDsMV6ooi1kCDQNDJVO7lAXcJkw8CLdjLYNGTcH8YRK08QX7Tnm6YQV_iTw3vP7NtrMN5f-Nsw75BCjUQ9/s320/007.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370559591657526162" border="0" /></a><br />On another note, my friend Shauna threw her 2-year-old, Sophia, a birthday party on Saturday. Jax and I went while Trey stayed with my Nana & Gramps to continue painting the house. The birthday party also kind of served as a going away party for the Grace family as well. In November, her husband, Cory, joined the navy and they are moving on Monday to Oak Harbor, Washington for 3 YEARS! Shauna is truly my only friend in Louisville. She was the first person I met here and we instantly connected! We spent most of our summer days at the pool with our children and we had so much in common. Our kids really enjoyed each other as well! I am going to be SO sad once they're gone. Even though they're only going to be gone for 3 years, when they move again, it will have to be somewhere near another navy base which is still far away from here. =( I already miss Cory, Shauna, Hayden, and Sophia and am awaiting their first trip back home! (They better call me when they come in! ha!)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-2772776011129856802009-08-16T06:30:00.000-07:002009-08-16T06:45:42.020-07:00Bye-Bye, Mint Walls...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2b527yythmmIOm4k81JKLaF7SmiJf6Xu7bHHrxhU-Gpoyh9MXPOFhZG8IKifiNvSWJShboL4mExGmeWXQ1tx_pDMLSwTCTyq1YnKJpKrl7NZRlS-z7fFOlxi2rX3l_8HjLzQNcUbg43H/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF2b527yythmmIOm4k81JKLaF7SmiJf6Xu7bHHrxhU-Gpoyh9MXPOFhZG8IKifiNvSWJShboL4mExGmeWXQ1tx_pDMLSwTCTyq1YnKJpKrl7NZRlS-z7fFOlxi2rX3l_8HjLzQNcUbg43H/s320/028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370555711496981586" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilJ0OWXU47_N5WdhfCMtOqCCtQrnSqU3kt6BSM6uWjPQivcngmS4pPDGCh3peY_FT_pVJsutg-YJShC6K2W30nyipnKguk68FbgGByTb6m55S1odLEa74CxPV4istaFRCdSztLhGRwt9bV/s1600-h/027.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilJ0OWXU47_N5WdhfCMtOqCCtQrnSqU3kt6BSM6uWjPQivcngmS4pPDGCh3peY_FT_pVJsutg-YJShC6K2W30nyipnKguk68FbgGByTb6m55S1odLEa74CxPV4istaFRCdSztLhGRwt9bV/s320/027.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370555503268346770" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96AVq9_nvx1E5OsgFsi5s0mEXIyQpBAHBJgcTBZCGcKsGtqxSumr3EpXexdpj7N1MmPldgY21XRqgnZJqhotkMqdY5NjVpaudh_5oErZ7WeUim5Ame078vOuqYsYD1E3A8_mV0jf2oMm3/s1600-h/039.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96AVq9_nvx1E5OsgFsi5s0mEXIyQpBAHBJgcTBZCGcKsGtqxSumr3EpXexdpj7N1MmPldgY21XRqgnZJqhotkMqdY5NjVpaudh_5oErZ7WeUim5Ame078vOuqYsYD1E3A8_mV0jf2oMm3/s320/039.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370554885955337314" border="0" /></a><br />We FINALLY started painting our first house! Trey and I were so appreciative that my Nana & Gramps drove all the way here to help us paint over that awful mint green color that was on the majority of the walls in the house! It looks like a brand new house already! I can't wait to see it completely finished! Here are a couple of pictures of the completed rooms. The color on the walls is from Sherwin-Williams and it's called "Rice Grain". I LOVE it!!! I'm also going to "help" the fireplace out a little...pics to come! I'm definitely feeling the pains of my labor today - my neck, shoulders, back, and arms are killing me! ha!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-27290653252676756402009-08-11T20:26:00.000-07:002011-02-08T18:26:09.819-08:00Summer in a nutshellSo...I started this blog a while ago when I was feeling sentimental about my baby growing like a weed and I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about it. While I love following others' blogs (kellyskornerblog.com), I just didn't feel that anyone would want to read about me and all that is going on in my life! However, I made the decision to continue blogging, not for anyone else, but or myself. =) I think I might have kept a diary when I was little, but never seriously. Anyway, there IS a lot going on in my life as of late and so I am going to blog about it. I feel that it will be neat to document these exciting changes in our lives as they unfold! Since it has been a while since my last post, I've decided to make a list to summarize summer 2009. Here it goes...<br /><br /><ul><li>I wrapped up my second-to-last semester of college to kick off the summer! (YAY!)</li><li>My mom celebrated her (age undisclosed) birthday on May 20th.</li><li>Trey turned 26(yes, 26...that is 4 years away from being 30...YIKES!!!) on June 2nd.</li><li>Perhaps the most important event of summer was on June 21st. Our baby boy, Jaxon Trey, turned a whopping 3-years-old (break my heart<3)!!!></li><li>One week after Jax turned 3, we took a family vacation (as we do every year) with my parents and my two little brothers to Hilton Head Island, SC. Jax loved it even more this year...he had SUCH a good time!</li><li>Around that same time, Trey and I began house hunting for our very first house.</li><li>For the next few weeks, house hunting consumed our lives.</li><li>We looked at houses.</li><li>We looked at more houses.</li><li>And more houses.</li><li>FINALLY! We found the one! We made and offer and they accepted! We were SO excited to get the ball rolling and start the process! =)</li><li>On July 19th, my little brother, Ethan, turned 14-years-old! I cannot believe he will be a freshman in high school. I can remember the day he was born like it was yesterday...time really does fly (sigh).</li><li>My stepdad, Sean, also celebrated a birthday on July 23rd.</li><li>My other little brother, Evan, turned 13-years-old on August 4th. Again, I can remember when he was born...that makes me feel so old!</li><li>Jax and I went swimming on the very few days that the Kentucky weather would allow. He is SUCH a little fish! I'm SO glad he enjoys the water.</li><li>On Monday, August 10th, Trey and I closed on our house! WOO HOO!!! (the 2nd most exciting event of summer) I cannot wait to move...or better yet...paint my house! ha!</li></ul>All in all, summer was pretty exciting for us! We have LOTS more coming up so stay tuned! There will definitely be pics posted of that special little boy in my life and also of our new home. If you're even awake at this point, thanks for reading! I'm really going to get into this from now on so feel free to come back soon!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5153101431254085516.post-57405675454949124912009-05-20T20:35:00.000-07:002011-02-08T18:26:09.820-08:00Who knew poop could be so sentimental?Yesterday and today have been eye opening for me. See, yesterday I stopped changing diapers. Jax will be 3 in June and its time! I was thinking of all the money we would save by not having to buy diapers and how nice it would be to be able to take him anywhere WITHOUT lugging around a diaper bag for a change. So yesterday morning when Jax woke up and did his ritualistic knocking on his bedroom door and yelling for mommy, I told him, "no more diapers...only big boy underwear from here on out, monkey". What I thought would be such a welcomed change in our lives, has turned out to be rather unwelcomed...for me at least. As a result, I have started this blog.<br /><br />The first day started off rather rocky. Jax had a few incidents that took us to pair of underwear #4 in about an hour and a half. He finally started to get the hang of things and the rest of the day went rather well! I couldn't quit the diapers cold turkey so I did put one on him during the night. Again this morning, I told him, "no more diapers...only big boy underwear". We had one accident today...ONE!!! That's amazing! Words cannot express how proud of him I am! So why am I feeling so sad?!?!<br /><br />As a reward for his successful potty training thus far, I took him to play at the park today. As I watched my baby leap and bounce around the playground with his newly made friends, I realized that he is growing up...and fast. Lately, Jax has to feed himself, dress himself, swing by himself, tuck himself into bed, say his prayers by himself, brush his teeth by himself,...you get the picture. It then dawned on me...changing his diaper was ONE last thing that I could do for him to take care of him. He can't change his own diaper. I feel like he doesn't need me anymore and that he's going to need me less and less as the days go by. It is such a scary feeling!<br /><br />While I know that I can't slow down the hands of time, I hate that he's turning into a little boy so fast. I have been so blessed to be able to stay home with Jax for these few years of his life. I'm so proud of him...he's SO smart! Although I initially welcomed potty training with open arms, I can't help but to view it as robbing me of my maternal duties. =( While I cannot wait for Jax to grow and mature into a big boy, I can...for just a while longer.Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03021146589757971036noreply@blogger.com0
