Jordan's 9th Birthday

Today is Jordan's 9th Birthday!! He is such a young man now. I believe the expression is "tween." He was only turning 7 when I first met him and he has changed, so much!!

Jordan is such a unique kid. He is very sensitive and very smart! He loves swords, ninjas, guns, Nerf stuff, LEGOS, LEGOS and LEGOS. He is very creative and loves to create things, whether it be drawing or building. Jordan is great at science!! He loves to solve problems when it comes to science.

Jordan is a kid who has had a lot happen to him in his life and done a pretty good job of adapting. He still has a great sense of humor and still is so loving to all of us. He is very energetic and is definitely the first kid, cause he loves attention and loves to talk! (Who else does that sound like???) He has grown so much since I've known him and have really enjoyed being a part of his life.

We let him pick where he wanted to go, and I was excited when he said Amazing Jakes! I LOVE that place. I honestly despise Chuck E Cheese after I went here last year because I realize how much more value it is at Amazing Jakes. If you want to read my last entry on
mazing Jakes, click here. I would have taken more pictures of Jordan, but since we went so early and beat the crowd, him and three other kids literally played laser tag for an hour and half straight. Soph learned that she really loves to rock climb. She didn't make it up to the top, but she did go four times and got higher and higer each time. Jason even joined in on the fun!! We sat in the movie room, which had 3 big screens and they played Toy Story 2 (on repeat, so I am glad its a movie I loved because I sat in there for about an hour with Avery as she took a nap!) Once again, we just had plain old cupcakes because the kids don't really have a party with us and they barely notice the cupcakes we get them, much less a cake.

Happy Birthday, Jordan!

What a fun place! I wish we had one of those in our area. I'm a new follower and I had a blast going back and reading through some of your previous posts. You're so honest, and that makes you "real". Can't wait to keep reading!

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this!  I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head.   As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee.   I can't believe I just said that.   It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
