Potty Training and Big Boy Bed

It's been awhile since I've posted a blog...we've been busy!!! First, for the last two weeks Aaron has been diaper free! We started Aaron on the whole potty training thing in December...didn't go so well. Since then he would occasionally ask to go on the 'Big Potty.' Two weeks ago we finally just bit the bullet and agreed to get rid of the diaper no matter what. Well, we've had our ups and downs, but for the most part Aaron is doing great. He gets really excited in the morning when he gets to pick out his big boy underwear (combination of tighty-whites, Cars and Mickey Mouse.) We tell him he needs to keep his underwear dry and tell mommy and daddy when he need to go potty. For the most part he tells us, however we are constantly asking him, "do you need to go potty?" We don't have an accident free day yet...but we are getting close.

The next big thing going on with us is that Aaron is out of his crib and into a bunk bed. He LOVES climbing up and down the ladder. We've been storing Jeremy old bunk bed that he used when he was a kid so it has some sentimental value. After tearing apart the garage for the hardware to put it together we gave up and improvised with hardware we purchased from Home Depot. Since Aaron is obsessed with the Car's movie we bought him a set of Cars sheets.

Aaron is growing so fast and getting more and more independent. He isn't a baby anymore he's grown into a little boy. He loves to help mommy with grocery shopping and cleaning (yeah!!!) and loves to help daddy in the yard with mowing and pulling weeds (yeah!!!) Every Monday afternoon he loves to help take out the trash cans and on Tuesday evenings always asks to bring the cans in (with help of course.) When we are not a home we are usually at the park with Talon, Allie and Auntie Liv. He LOVES the swings...I need to teach him how to swing...my arms get tired. :) That's pretty much the low down on the Fratts. Same ol' Same ol'.
