Noah went pee pee in the potty!!!!!

Yes I realize Noah is going to be so mad at me one day when he’s older and realizes I posted this picture of him on the potty on the internet BUT I will deal with that later J For now I wanted to be sure to blog about the very first time Noah went pee pee in the potty!!! I can hardly believe it and I’m sure that it’s probably just a freak accident however we are so proud of him! He pointed to his diaper earlier this afternoon and I happened to ask him if he needed to go potty and he started walking up stairs. Once we got up there since I was totally unprepared for this event I tried putting Haley’s old Dora toilet seat cover on the big potty and stuck him on there. Well it’s a good thing he didn’t go that time because the Dora seat has a little cover (not removable) to help little girls from peeing out of the toilet which would have caused Noah to pee all over our floor. We brought in the small potty to let him see what it was all about and he loved the idea of sitting on it and acting like he was going to go potty. Anyways after all that we got him dressed and brought him back downstairs. About 30 min later he pointed to his diaper again and Clayton asked him if he needed to go potty. Noah headed back upstairs again to his potty but this time he didn’t make it and went in his diaper. He tried though and we were very proud of him for that. Honestly I had/have absolutely no intentions of attempting to potty train Noah till he was about 2 ½ just like we did with Haley. I want to teach them quickly and then be done with it. After we finished dinner Noah started going up the stairs again and I asked him if he needed to go potty. He walked upstairs into his bathroom and sat down on his potty and completely shocked me as he actually went potty this time! He was so proud of himself as was his big sister!! We told her since she was such a wonderful teacher (she always wants him to go to the restroom with her) that they both got to have some Hello Kitty fruit snacks to celebrate! Thanks Haley for teaching Noah how to use the potty!

Like I said, I really don’t think we’ll be starting the potty training thing anytime soon but I guess we’ll just see what Noah wants to do.

Random August Pictures

Updated Family picture! Thanks to Michelle for snapping a quick photo of all of us after church! I realized when Haley's pre-k teacher requested a family picture that our last family picture was taken Nov 2011!! That's sad, we've got to get better about that.



Kiddos on the way to church :-) Happy campers just enjoying the morning and getting ready to learn all about Jesus in their Sunday school class!

 

Noah's first bath from Papa!

 

Haircuts (for both Papa & Noah) then a bath.....now time to chill with Papa on the couch and share drinks ;-) I heard Noah was actually a trooper and didn't fuss at all during his haircut! Of course he sat on Papa's lap and watched him first and then he got his done...so cute!

I'm telling you....this kid is ready for Disney! He put Mickey in the stroller by himself and pushed him all around the house....ha

Love these girls!!! We snuck in one last pool play date before all of our pools close next weekend. So sad but we'll find other places to have play dates.



Post soccer practice snacks! I'm thinking this is going to be a great season of soccer for everyone!

They are ready to go!!! Now we just have to sit and wait for October...

Only 2 more months and we'll be in Disney World!!!! The kids are super excited and Haley decided to make up a song that I actually caught on video! Noah was helping too ;-) Noah's about to take his first plane ride and first trip to Disney World and big sister Haley just can't wait to show him the ropes! We aren't going till October but now that we've got everything all booked and ready I wish it was this weekend....it's going to be a 5th b-day that Haley will never forget!



Some one's ready for Disney...i caught her
dancing to M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E music ;-)

I know...I'm waayy behind on the dentist
thing but we managed to finally get Haley
to the Dentist for the first time and she
did GREAT!!! Of course the dentist place we
went to was AMAZING and so kid friendly
but still can't believe she did so well!!!
So proud of her!

Even Noah got his teeth checked out
by the dentist and he did great too! I'm amazed!!
Probably helped that he had his Papa there
with him for moral support :-) Thanks Papa!

 


    
 

These girls are ready....

They practiced hard! Great job girls!





Haley, Emma and their little bro's

Makayla such a hard worker...look at that face :-)















Go Macy!

Noah was checking out his abs in the mirror
after his gymnastics work out...HAHA.

Macy & Makayla's Dora Party!

 Noah's favorite part of the party was when they threw all the balls out on the floor! I think we might be able to consider basket ball for an option for him in the future...he's pretty good :) 





All the kiddos playing on the helicopter! What an awesome day! What kids get to say they spent the day playing on real helicopters and airplanes at a private hanger???? These kids do :-)

 

 

Haley's flying and Noah's testing

3 pilots are better than 2!



Uh oh.....Clayton's driving now and Noah's still trying to test out his evel knievel skills

Haley's First Day of Pre-K & Last Friday Morning Breakfast with Papa :-(



Haley's 1st Day of Pre-K!!  We are so proud of her for being such a big girl, she wasn't nervous AT ALL!
How cute that she wanted to hold Noah's hand?!?



Emma & Haley at First Day of school!

Thanks Papa and Grandma for our new book bags!

 

  



Haley and Papa at their last Friday morning breakfast routine. This was such a special time for these two and I know that they are both going to miss this time together. I'm sure they will still find time to bond though....just not Friday mornings.





Looks like Papa will just have to hang with
 this little man till he starts Pre-K :-)





She sure LOVES her breakfasts at Mc D's with Papa!





Yup...he's a wild man! I'm sure Papa taught him this trick..hehe



Cute picture i wanted to add from last week when the kids and Grandma were doing an itsy bitsy spider train...ha!



Wow....not sure we're ready for this but Haley's starting Pre K

Where did my little baby girl go??? Pre K already, really? Such an exciting time but also such and emotional time.....

These 3 Girls (Emma, Sophia & Haley) have been BFF's since they were in the infant room and only months old.....So happy that they are in the same PreK class this year and Ms. Dawn seems like a wonderful teacher!



GA Pre K starts Monday! Thankfully Haley is SUPER excited which really helps but that just means one more year till kindergarten. Don't think i'll ever be ready for that.



Looks like Noah and Will are going to teach the class today ;-)

One thing I did want to note so i never forget it is when Noah

busted it on the way to Haley's Pre K class right in the middle

of the cafeteria! At least it's not highschool but it was still in

front of all his potential future girl friends........



Haley and Emma at Open House for Pre K tonight!

Having their "locker" talks in between classes!

I can see this exact same picture 10 years from

now when they are in highschool.....scary!!



Kids first bug collection.....2 caterpillars that they named Dora and Mickey!







Look how smart Papa is.....since Noah was always
tackled by the ducks he put Noah in the back of
the truck with the bread! I like the way he thinks ;-)

 

Loves her baby brother so much!!









Weekend morning spent baking/decorating cookies just for fun









Pool days

This is how we spend our afternoon's at the Lichtenberg house.....





Getting ready for soccer season starting in September



This video says it all.......

...see what happens when Noah doesn't see Papa for more than 24 hours? Precious!!!
