John is Offically a Big Boy and Our "First" Snow



Last night Eric and I made the decision to turn John's crib into a toddler bed in preparation for the move. I know that he is not the recommended 2 years old but neither were Jack and Ella and they turned out just fine. We already have the furniture for the boys picked out. It is just a matter of going and picking it up, well, and figuring out what and how many pieces to buy. (All bedroom furniture donations can be made payable to Eric and mailed to the house.) :) He did so well. Especially, considering he is still without his pacifier. He only woke up when Eric's alarm went off and then he was back to sleep. I couldn't resist opening the door this morning to see where he ended up sleeping and there he was....my big boy sleeping in the bed. I left the door cracked and about 10 minutes later i could hear the unmistakable pitter patter of John running around upstairs. I met him at the top of the staircase and he was so happy. I love seeing the kids in the morning. They are always so excited to get the day started. It is so full of adventure for them. Where does that go when you grow up? On top of John's first big night, the kids and i came down stairs to get breakfast started and let the dogs out. Snow! Yes, snow. Technically, it snowed Tuesday afternoon but there was no accumulation so i missed it BUT not today. I saw the flurries and what little covering it left. I am from Alabama and yes this counts as snow.
No where near the beautiful snow fall in Idaho but i don't expect much to compare to that. I am hoping for more snow before we move so we can really enjoy the big hill in our back yard. Going to get ready for gymnastics day!!

Hello Buttercup!
I am so proud of John! He is getting so big....no pacifier and now the big bed! Regarding the snow, if we had that dusting here in Alabama all the grocery stores would be cleaned out and the state would shut down: so, yes NC's dusting counts! Talk to you soon and love ya'll bunches! Kim
