So much going on!!

Tattum is doing great. His brothers love him to death! Porter likes to cover him up in blankets and give him kisses. Yesterday Keaton was holding him when Tattum decided to start crying, so Keaton lifted up his shirt... lol.... Daddy had to explain that only mommy can do that. Tattum weighs 6lbs. now but is doing great, boy can this kido eat!!
In other upcoming events Ben will be leaving for his new job the first of the month. As for the rest of us Tattum and I will fly out to pick out a house on the 6th Our movers have been scheduled for the 13th so yes we will be leaving very soon. The nice thing is we don't have to pack yeayy!!!
Other than the cold windy weather that sums it up for us, well at least for now! :)

Update on Keaton Potty training


So we bought a lightning McQueen race car book that makes sounds, it came with a lightning pillow to match we told Keaton he could have it if he went potty 100% of the time in the big boy potty. He sat on the toilet for an hour!! Bless his heart I made him get off the toilet to go to bed. He was not happy with me and announced so by telling me "I don't like mommy." As much as it broke my heart I figured I must be doing something right. So I listened to him cry himself to sleep that night. The following am at 8:00 I heard "mommy, I peed in the toilet, look,... I get race car now." So I jumped out of bed and looked in his toilet that I had placed in his bedroom and sure enough it was full!!!!! So we gave him lightning. A few hours later he went in his underwear I made him put his underwear in the trash and I took back lightning. I am really not liked now. He even went to tell daddy how mean I was and just how much he doesn't like me. I told him he could have lightning back if he went potty in the big boy potty. He has yet to have another accident and even woke up dry. He carries lightning with him everywhere!!!! He even gives lightning pillow a bath. I am now liked again by Keaton at least until the next accident. He even went poopy in the potty last night and earned a cookie.. so for now the drama continues and mommy is getting hugs and kisses from Keaton again we will see how long it lasts! :) Hey still no accidents!!! I think we got it! :) The biggest issue is getting him to tuck "it" in.lol He keeps getting his pants wet. lol 10/7

Potty Training on Keaton

Well Keaton is getting it!! Bad timing or great timing though not sure which. I would be thriled to have him potty trained before the new baby gets here but wow, I am so tierd. I am not suppose to be on my feet much either, but Keaton seems to think he will fall in. He sits on the toilet and asks for your hand so he won't "fall in the yucky water." He uses pullups and underware now and only gets diapers when he is sleeping. First thing now when he wakes up he goes potty and he does great using the potty at school. Hopefully this is it!

Boys Birthday

The boys had a great time on there birthday. They really seem to be getting what a birthday is all about! We spent the morning with Thomas the Train and got to ride on Thomas. Grandma Riggs thankfully made their cakes as I was out of it!! Thank you for Grandmas!!! I just had to decorate which was easy cheesy! She had the hard part. After Thomas we had a gathering of friends and family and that was tons of fun The boys big hit present was from their Uncle David and Aunt Melissa Monster trucks that are huge and make lots of noise. Thank you so much by the way. lol Aunt Katie and Uncle Justin made beautiful pillow cases and the boys seem to really like those now that they are on pillows! Grandma and Grandpa Riggs have monster truck posters that will be put in there rooms soon!! Thanks to everyone and look for pictures soon to come hopefully I am new at this blogging thing and am not 100% into it so be patient!! :)
