Bathtime and new glasses

Everett is usually very camera shy. By that I mean that when you point the camera at him he screams and runs. The other night he was having a blast in the bathtub and I asked if I could take his picture. He said yes and even posed.

Last week his new glasses came in the mail. He hasn't had a play pair in a few weeks because Bella decided to chew them up. His new pair was supposed to be the exact same as the old but a different color because his lenses weren't damaged, but the glasses company sent the wrong pair twice so we decided to give them a try. I've decided I like the new frames better! I think they aren't as overpowering on his sweet little face. I'm not sure what is up with his expression in this picture.

Jump Zone

Last Friday we went to Jump Zone. He had a lot of fun. He would climb to the top of the inflatables, but didn't want to slide down.

Mom & Tot Skate

A couple of weeks ago, Everett & I went to the Arkansas Skatium with some other moms and their children from LittleRockMommies to Mom & Tot Skate. At Mom & Tot Skate the kiddos can bring anything with wheels to ride. Everett brought his powered Lightning McQueen car to ride, and I assumed that's what he was doing while I was putting on my skates. When I went on the rink and couldn't find him, I panicked a little until I saw him doing this:

He was in the arcade a good portion of the time we were at the rink. At one point he and another little boy swapped cars, and he was riding a car he had to push with his legs.
About 30 minutes before it was time to go he asked me if he could put on skates, so I got him a pair and put them on him. He was SO cute. We skated together for a little while and he did such a great job!

Sleeping in a big boy bed

This post is a little out of order, but since it's a big milestone it definitely deserves some face time! After having a few nights of bedtime issues we pulled the already assembled toddler bed out of the closet and Everett spent his first night it in on May 7th. He was up a few times and I think he ended up sleeping with us about halfway through the night, but after a few nights of transitioning he is now sleeping in his big boy bed through the night!

He loves his big boy bed, and we are very glad that we waited to make the transition until he was ready. I think this is what made the transition smoother. We are SO proud of him!
