WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO, SUCCESS

Be still my heart, Ike and Noah came and picked me up from work today. I love hearing how the boys days' are during the drive home.

Today, Noah had on a hat that he made with an eye on it (not really sure what it was to him it was HIS EYE!) Then Poppa Ike told me about his day, I looked back at Noah watching his DVD and noticed that he was wearing the same shorts I put on him this morning.

SUCCCCCCCCCCESSSSSSSSSSSSS! Noah went the entire day at school with no potty accidents in his underwear. I am so excited! He did get a special dessert tonight in celebration.

(thanks Karyn and Hay Hay for the encouragement!)

SAVE THE TATAS!

GOOOOOOOO LSU!

Most of you know that Ike and I love our Southern Miss Alma mater and take pride in our Black and Gold! Well, Noah and Lilly have been coming home from school chanting LSU! Ike and I asked their teacher what's up. She laughed and said we cheer for the home team.

So on Sunday at Lilly's house the two found these LSU hats....
This picture is dedicated to Noah's two godparents. Parrian graduated from LSU and Woozie is a freshman this year!

HERE WE COME BILOXI

Noah loves relaxing at Mama's house. He especially enjoyed her hammock in the backyard under the pecan tree.

Momma, Poppa, and Noah went down to Biloxi to visit the Manuel family. Noah loved playing in Mama's backyard with "Melie-worm" and "AJ".

ST ANN'S FAIR

You are not going to believe that Noah won 3 gold fish. He was a pro with "Popeye" throwing the ping pong balls into the container. The fair has upgraded since my grade school years, you earn a voucher for a fish instead of actually going home with a fish - what a gimmick to sell you fish stuff at the store!

My mom snuck Noah into the Spacewalk (he was definitely not old or tall enough!), but he loved it!

My little Hercules! This was soo cute he really was hitting the mark.

THE END IS DRAWING NEAR...

We have officially ventured into Underoos! How cute are these? Noah liked the boxer briefs instead of the cute old fashion boy underwear. He thinks he is a Big Boy now!

"Look at me Momma!"


For the last two days, Noah has gone to school in his big boy underwear and has only had 1 accident each day. We are so thrilled for him.


Bob couldnt figure out how to wear his underwear! (this is a product of Popeye - my dad! He taught Noah how to have a funny hat)

In addition to the outstanding new chapter of Potty Training growing close to the end, his separation anxiety at school is diminishing. All week he has laughed and played when we drop him off. He even says bye!
I guess I really have to face that he truly is a big boy (but forever my baby boy)


PS.........another huge milestone this week........my dad is officially retired!!!!
