A Celebratory Day for Grady!

We are so proud to finally announce that Grady is completely potty trained! For those of you who don't have kids, potty training is one of the most exhausting things you go through as parents! You literally find yourself talking about bodily fluids to anyone who will listen! Sorry everyone! You might remember our post back in August (yes, 10 months ago!) about "potty bootcamp" with Grady and what a disaster it was! Despite potty training taking a little longer than expected, we are so thankful we are finally here, and we couldn't be prouder of Grady! Of course, thanks to Grady, we're pretty sure Landon's first word will be "poop," "butt" or something along those lines! Oh well!

There is just something so cute about seeing our little Grady lounging around the house in his boxer briefs! :) I can just picture him in 15-20 years looking exactly the same - just bigger! This is a picture from when he woke up one morning...all he needs is a cup of coffee! (All I have to say is he looks EXACTLY like his daddy here! Don't worry, I won't post a picture!) :)

You will notice in these pictures that he is carrying around a book of crossword puzzles. For some reason he has adopted this crossword book and calls it his "work." I guess after hearing Brandon and I talk about having to do work, etc., he decided he needs some work too. It is so cute to listen to him "working" - he basically points out tons of different letters in the crossword puzzle. He often tells us he has to do his work first before doing other things. :)

For months now we have told him that when he is finally wearing underwear we would take him to the "bouncy house" as he calls it. (It's this place called Monkey Joe's where there are tons of bouncy slides, etc.) So, this past weekend we finally went and kind of make the whole day special for him as a celebration for his potty success!



In addition to taking Grady to the "bouncy house," we also took him for ice cream and went strawberry picking at an organic farm, which was really fun! We had the whole strawberry patch to ourselves since we went later in the day...the strawberries were soooo good, and it was so nice knowing they were organic and chemical free. Grady absolutely loved it and wanted to eat strawberries all night! :
