Bedhead

We haven't taken too many pictures lately so I haven't had much to post.  The other day when Gav woke up with this bedhead I just had to take a couple pictures.  His hair was like a mini-mohawk towards the crown of his head.  It stood straight up the entire day.  He picked out this lovely outfit (aka pajamas) to wear for the day as well.  Since we weren't going out, I just let him go with it.



We're busily getting ready for Abigail.  I feel like the laundry hasn't stopped between clothes/bedding/curtains etc etc.  Whenever I feel like I've finally finished washing everything that needs washed I realize there's more to do.  Once we steam clean the carpets, her room should be finished.  Gavin is a big helper, of course.  He always wants to help clean up or participate in whatever we have going on.  He's going to be a wonderful big brother.

Potty training has been on the agenda a lot more in the last month or so.  We're working hard with him to make some progress.  His reward at this point is 1 M&M for pee and 2 M&M's for poop.  It hasn't proven to be the great motivator we'd like it to be but at least he's asking to go sometimes.  Gavin has to come to the bathroom whenever one of us goes in.  If we aren't careful to make sure the door is shut all the way, he pulls it wide open and then there's an audience.  If the door is shut all the way he stands outside and bangs on the door.  Either way, no one in this house can use the bathroom without some sort of interruption from the little guy.  Yesterday he came into the bathroom while I was there and the following exchange occured:

Gavin: "Mommy go pee pee on the potty?"
Me: "Yes Gavin.  Can I get an M&M for going pee on the potty?"
Gavin: "Yes.  I'll go get it for you."
Me: "No, that's okay Gavin.  Mommy's been potty trained for quite a long time."
Gavin: "Mommy's potty trained!!!  YEA!!!!" (clapping)

Hopefully one day in the next few months we'll be the one's cheering, "Gavin's potty trained YEA!!!!"
