Jacob is 3!

We have a 3 year old! Jacob turned 3 on Saturday and he got a new bike from Daddy, Mommy, and Gwyn. He was super excited about it, and immediately wanted to ride it outside. It is so hot here in Houston, so we let him ride it outside for awhile, but then brought it inside where he made himself a route around the house. This picture is of Jacob in the house riding his bike in his big boy Batman underwear (which he picked out himself at Target).

Also big news....JACOB IS POTTY TRAINED! He did awesome, either he is a potty training genius or I'm a potty training master, ha! We had a miserable day 1 with 8 accidents, but then only 3 accidents since then (it has been a week now), and all of those were as he woke up from either a nap or from sleeping all night. We are so proud of him and so happy to only have to buy diapers for one kid, at least for another 3 months until our new baby girl arrives...no names yet, but even if we did, we have to keep it a secret!

Here is a picture I snapped when we were outside playing, Brian told him he could pee in the grass in the backyard and he seems to think it is perfectly fine to drop your pants whereever you are and pee on the grass. After this (it was Saturday night), Brian had to have a talk with him about asking us before he does it and not to pee on the church grass on Sunday during Sunday school when they take them outside to play.

Other news is that Jacob is starting to say some hilarious things, he learned at church on Sunday that friends stick together, and pretty much repeated it at random times about 40 times the rest of the day.

Gwyn is growing up so fast, she added another new word, bike, which she wanted to ride so bad, but Jacob kept telling her she was too little. Poor little Gwyn, she just kept saying, "bike! bike! bike!" She just loves Jacob and follows him around doing whatever he does.

A week or so ago Jacob went to the dentist for the first time. We had talked to him about it before and he was really excited about going and LOVED it! The dentist said he was the best 2 year old she had ever had. He pretty much just laid their the entire time, he loved closing his mouth so the "magic straw" could suck out the water in his mouth and got his teeth polished too. Pretty much everyday since then he's been asking to go to the dentist.
