Quotes from Blake

We were on our way to church the other day, and we hadn't been there in a while. Blake asked where we were going, and we told him church. He seemed confused..."Church house?" We told him that we are going to "God's House." "Uncle Todd's house?" he asks...."Um..no....Baby Jesus' house." "Oh, going to Baby Jesus' house!" he says. He did a good job at church and didn't even ask where Baby Jesus was. Well this morning, as I'm getting ready for work, he comes into the bathroom and says, "Mama...we going to Baby Jesus' house today?" :-)

As always, I try to talk to Blake on the way to and from work. I told him we were in Sandusky the other day.....his take on it... "We're going to Sangussy's house?" "We going to Sangussy?"

When we went to the doctor's last month (Dr. Kramer)...it was "Going to Dr. Kramber's house?"

It amazes me everyday how much he talks and how much he understands. He always asks "Why?" After a couple of answers, I simply answer his question with "Why Blake?" and he will either have an answer or just say "Because Mama!"

Labor Day Weekend....

We had a busy, family filled weekend for Labor Day weekend. On Saturday we drove over to Jody and Brian's and spent the day there with many other family members and friends of theirs.

On Sunday we went up to John and Flo's and spent the afternoon, and also snuck in some family pictures of Todd and Kristin and the kids. Today they all came over to our place for brunch and then helped pick up rocks where the pond used to be!

Blake has been doing great in his big boy bed. Two nights now, he has gone to bed without getting up at all. Unfortunately, he still wakes up at normal time in the morning and finds his way to our room to wake us up! Oh well, at least he sleeps all night long!!

Big Boy Bed

We got Blake's new bedroom painted over the weekend. While the pictures aren't on the wall yet and things are quite complete, we attempted to get him to sleep in there last night. It took a little while and some coaxing, but finally after about a half an hour, we got him to stay in the bed and he finally fell asleep...and slept all night!! We were so proud of him and of course praised him like crazy so he'd want to sleep in there again. Tonight went even smoother, he protested a little, but after coming out of his room twice, and me walking him back in there, he cried for a couple minutes, then fell asleep! Can't believe what a big boy he is getting to be. Now...just have to get working on Baby Cora's room and try to remember all the "baby" stuff we are going to need right off the bat!

"Watch out Books...."

"Watch out books, here I come!" says Blake as he's headed towards his bookshelf "riding" (he doesn't pedal yet) his bike! Too funny!!!
