It's official

My baby is weaned. After 14 1/2 months of pretty much exclusively breastfeeding, Logan is boob free:) We started on a Thursday and I expected a lot of crying and begging to nurse, but it went great, without any tears! Brad took him at night and it's as if he almost forgot how to nurse. He hasn't even asked since Friday morning. It's a bittersweet feeling. I feel like I'm not needed as much now, but at the same time I am so proud of him. He has done so well with Brad and I can't keep him away from food now. He wants to eat all day:)

I am so proud of him:)

Easter pics to come soon:)

Jumping in the cuddles

AKA Jumping in the puddles. I keep telling him they are called puddles but he doesn't care..he loves to "jump in the the cuddles" With all the rain we have been having we decided it would be cute to go get Jacob a new pair of rain boots and a rain coat. Ahhh Toddlerhood:)

Dear Logan (14 months)

Dear Logie-
I am writing your letter a couple days early this time:) How about that for a first:) You are almost 14 months old! How in the heck did that happen? You are such a unique little guy. You love your mommy with all that you've got. You love your daddy, too:) Your face lights up when daddy walks through the door everyday.

You love playing outside! With the nicer weather that has come out way you've been able to play outside a lot the past 2 days. I have a feeling it's going to be easier to wean Logan once it's nice outside all the time. You were out there for hours the other day and didn't ask to nurse at all. You didn't even care that mommy was even there:)

I have Monday marked on the calender as our night weaning day. It's been marked for a couple weeks so I'm anxious to see how it goes. I don't mind nursing you still, but night time has to stop. It's killing mommy:)

You walk around saying "iss iss" and give out kisses. You say "all done" when you are done eating. Speaking of eating...you have been doing awesome eating lately!

I am so proud of the little man that you are becoming. I love you Logie.

Jacob (33 months)

Dear Jacob-
Mommy has been really bad at keeping up with your letters lately. I am 11 days late this month:)
Right now I am trying hard to type this and you are laying on the couch kicking me because you refused to take a nap today. So instead of laying quietly on the couch like mommy asked you to, you are kicking me trying to get my attention:)

You are going through a bit of separation anxiety again. I decided to hit the gym today and took you to the kids area. You have never had a problem before but today you cried and held my leg and told me not to go. I snuck out and about 15 minutes later I was called back in the room. I thought it was because of your stubborn little brother, but I was surprised to hear it was you. She said you had been crying since I left. When I went to pick you up you were sobbing and breathing really hard. I asked you why you were so upset and you told me that you didn't want me to get lost. Poor guy, I think you are afraid that I'll leave and not come back. How do you explain that a 2 1/2 year old?

You still have such a crazy personality. The other day you were playing with your salami and you ripped a hole in it. You then put it on your finger and told me it was your purse:)

You told daddy the other as you were riding your new bike that you got it on sale...1/2 price:) I tell you what little man..you are 100% your mama;)

You call play-doh (playdate) and tell me your not ready to give up your nukie yet. I think we may have to put a call in to the Nuk fairy soon because sweet boy...3 year olds do not need pacifiers at bedtime.

Speaking of, you are making a big move in the next month. We are converting our master bedroom into a room for you and your bubby to share. I'm hoping it helps you both sleep a little better:)

I love you sweet pea. I am sad that you are almost 3. It doesn't seem possible that you are almost in preschool. Slow down doodlebop....mommy isn't ready for all this yet.

Preschool

We finally found a preschool! We went to look at our top choice today, and as soon as I walked in the doors I knew I would love it! We met with one of the teachers and she asked Jacob if he was ready to walk around and see the classrooms, and he was a little scared at first but followed her around! We went and checked out the kids in gym playing with the parachutes and Jacob couldn't take his eyes off it. I could tell he wanted to play, but today was the 4 year old group and of course he would get knocked over in minutes;)

Then we went and checked out all the classrooms. I loved how each classroom was themed. I don't remember what color it was, but he loved the classroom with all the kitchen and cleaning stuff, even over the one with the trucks and trains! Logan loved it, too, and screamed when I told them it was time to go. The teacher commented on much in love Jacob was with his brother and how sweet he was to him:) Made me think maybe I'm doing something right here;)

As we were walking out, the pastor stopped us and was talking to Jacob. Jacob told him he that he had a boo boo on his finger and the pastor told Jacob to ask Jesus to make it feel better. I was afraid of what his reply would be, but instead he look at him and said "Oh, I love jesus" :) It made me so proud:)

So we love and are very excited to start this fall! Of course Jacob can't stop talking about it! The zoo is pretty close to the school and I figure in the fall Logan and I can go hang out there once in a while and have our bonding time while Jake is at school:) I'm excited but scared! I can't believe he's almost in preschool! How did that happen so fast??

Just like his mama

Jacob told Brad to look at his underwear the other day. Brad looked and said "Wow Jacob those are awesome". Jacob looked at him and said "Thanks! We got them on sale" haha so my child:)

More Jacobisms

Oh what a weekend it has been. I am extra tired during the week anymore since I have been working weekends with my mom. Poor Jake cries every time I leave now. He watches me put on my coat and says "Please mommy, don't leave me. Daddy go to work" I try to explain to him that mommy is only working for a couple months and that she is making money for our summer vacation, but of course at that moment he doesn't understand nor does he care. Logan has been doing fine with me leaving, just nursing more at night when I get home (is that even possible?).

Ok on to the silly things Jacob has been doing/saying this past week.

We went to the doctors last week because a mysterious rash that Jacob had. The doctor was talking to him and asked him what he likes to do and he said "I kill little duckies" Of course my face was so red! I had no idea where it came from. Later that night we got home and he wanted to watch Shrek 2 and Shrek said "cute little duckies" and Jake said " Yah mommy CUTE little duckies" Thank goodness!!! I was a bit worried about that one!

We were eating dinner the other night and Brad told him that he didn't get an dessert if he didn't eat his food and he said "Oh for the love of pete steak" LOL I always say for the love of pete sake of course, but Jacob thought I was saying steak:)

He is becoming a sneaky little boy. I believe it's Karma. I was a sneaky little girl. My mom will tell you stories about how I unwrapped all my Christmas presents one year and wrapped them all back up, only I didn't realize she used special tape!

I woke up this morning to find that Jacob wasn't in his room. I went to the kitchen to find him sitting on the floor eating mommy's girl scout cookies:) He sneaks snacks all the time.

He came running out of his room telling me that he loves to draw on he walls. I asked him where he drew and he showed me behind the tv (yup in pen) and on his bedroom wall with crayon. I told him mommy will get him paper when he wants to draw. Silly boy!

This is such a fun age!
