Big Happenings around here

We have had some big happenings going on around the Eilers household!

First up: Emersyn is 100% potty trained! She has been potty trained throughout the day for a while now, but had still been wearing her princess pull-ups at night. For the past week (or more) she had been waking up with dry pull-ups and, sometimes, even getting up in the middle of the night to go potty. I just didn't really want to take the plunge and let her wear panties at night. Well, after several days of doing this, and being very excited that she had a dry pull-up on, I figured it was time to let her sleep in her big girl panties. She has been very successful! She wakes up in the middle of the night to go potty and has woken up dry every morning, so far! I am so proud of her! 2 down, 1 to go! Ha! When we are out of diapers for good, it is going to be a weird, but good feeling!

So, our next big happening is: Ezra can ride his bike with NO TRAINING WHEELS! He is doing awesome! He can even start and stop by himself. As excited as I am for him, I am also kind of sad about this. He is growing up way to fast and just becoming more independent all the time. Oh how that tugs at my little heart. He did such a great job learning how to do this. A friend of mine told me not too long ago, that if he was able to ride his scooter and balance, he was ready to ride a bike. After she told me that, I thought to myself, "Ezra can do that, I'm pretty sure." So, I passed on the information to Ezra and for the next couple days, he practiced on his scooter and really built up his confidence. After a few days of this, I asked if he was ready to try out the bike. He said "yes" and was so excited. I think the key was his mind set. So, when Brent got home, we took him to the back yard, took his wheels off and started him out in our grass. Our backyard is big and has a little part that goes "down hill", so we just practiced this a couple times. He caught on so fast and was doing great, so we took him to the cul-de-sac and the end of our street, and he took off. I was so shocked! He hasn't looked back and is super excited that he can do it!

Such a proud mamma!
