March- Snow, Potty Training, Fun times!

So I am a bit late on getting March on the blog. I had a ton of photos to go through (I did manage to delete a bunch) and I still ended up putting a bunch on here. We got a couple of snow days in March! Cooper thought the snow was so much fun to play in (last year he hated it) and watch from the window. We even had a few sunny days to play at the park. Cooper's biggest accomplishment was getting potty trained. Woohoo!!! A wonderful friend (thank you so much, Emily) told me about a 3 day potty training method. So we gave that a go and by the 3rd day he was all potty trained. Yay!! No more diapers!!!! We have been having fun with our little mommy preschool too. There are some pictures of one of our craft days. We had been focusing on learning our colors so we did a bunch of rainbow activities. Cooper has so much fun learning with his friends Zac, Ty and Katey. We also went down to Salem to visit Grandpa Dave and Tutu. Cooper is now such a big boy he has graduated from sleeping in a pack n' play when we travel (he was getting too long for it- head touching one end and feet scrunched at the bottom). He slept in a sleeping bag for the first time (at home he has slept in the sleeping bag but this was the first time while at someone else's place) and did great! He even took a nap the next day in his sleeping bag without any problems. Cooper had a ton of fun playing with his cousin Sadie. They loved spinning on the office chair. And helping Tutu put up all her Easter decorations.

Just a silly picture of Cooper with his faux hawk.

Cooper has gotten into the habit lately of caring 4 or more animals out of bed in the mornings. It is pretty hilarious watching him try to carry them without dropping them.

He was so funny about how he held the brush. He held it with just his finger tips.
