The Dub Shack: December 2013

B-Man

December was one crazy month! We had lots and lots going on and were very busy but it was a fun month too!!!

During the first week of December we got hit with snow and ice! This started on Dec. 5 so we got out of school on the 5 and 6. We got snow days at home together! Mommy loved it! We played in the snow, went sledding, watched movies, painted, made homemade ornaments, made cookies, and did lots of playing! Daddy went to work on Thursday but got to enjoy this with us on Friday and Saturday! By Monday, roads weren't clear so we got 3 more snow days!!! Crazy!!! We went to Little Giggles one day, up to the gym to play one day, and time at home. I loved every bit of our snow days together!

School went well for you this month. You are eating well and sleeping well and from what we hear, behaving well :). You also had your first Christmas program! You just stood up there and bobbed your head with Ty. You were one cute boy though!!!!

On Dec. 17 we found out you are going to be a big brother to a.........little SISTER! we are so excited for you and pray you have a great relationship with her!

You have this bad habit that we are trying to break you of. You say "no" to almost anyone but mommy and daddy. It is not very nice and we are not sure why you do it. We are working really hard to break you of this and teach you to be kind when others talk to you.

You like to sit on the potty for a few seconds but then want to get off. We are going to try to start potty training you and switching you to your new room about Feb. Hopefully both will go smooth and be done when baby sister gets here!

Before we left for holiday vacation we went ahead and gave you your "big" Christmas present so you could play with it a few days. We gave you a small trampoline! You love it and bounce in it like crazy!! :) We are so happy you like it!

You did pretty well in the car on the way to Killeen. You got fussy about 9 pm and didn't fall asleep until about 10:30 pm in the car. We were only about 1 mile from Nana and Papa's. You crazy boy. I don't think you felt good this week because you said no to them a lot too and pretty much just wanted mommy and daddy and to play with Cooper. You did love playing with him though! We also went ot the park a few times and you loved that! Even though you said no a lot everyone loved seeing you. You did better in the car on the way to Amarillo! Especially considering you are two and it was 8 hours! We had lots of videos. You felt better in Amarillo. You still did the "no" thing but were better. You LOVED playing with Makenzie and Parker!! We went to church, the park, played with toys, and saw lots of family! It was a great time. You did well traveling to Dallas too and had fun playing with kids there. Still did "no" but we are working on it. You are not sleeping late because you know mommy and daddy are in the room and will come get you :) I cannot complain about the cuddling I got though - I did love that!! You are supposed to sleep late on vacation :) Maybe one day you will get the hang of it.

We have had so much fun with you this month! You bring us so much joy and we loved having our 3rd Christmas with you! You got lots of great toys (including a basketball goal and sand and water table for outside) and clothes! You are one stylish boy having fun! :) We are thankful for health and safe traveling this month!
