Signs your toddler is growing up

Now that Holton is two, he seems to surprise everyday with something new. He'll repeat whatever you say, he likes to laugh and then say, "that's funny", and he loves to say "go away" and "mine". I have no idea where he gets that attitude from....

He's really become a big boy over the past couple days. We've been trying to get Holton to brush his teeth and not just play with the toothbrush. My friends have told me horror stories about dental bills when their kids were only 2 and 3. So Monday my friend told me I needed to buy an electric toothbrush. I didn't think much of it, but boy was she right. Holton really likes the electric toothbrush. He used it for about 10 minutes that night. Keep on brushing Holton!! Mama needs a cheap dental bill.


And, in other development news, Holton is no longer sleeping in his crib! Holton never really tried to escape out of the crib, but we just thought he might sleep better if he had more room to stretch out. So Sunday night Adam and my dad converted Holton's crib to his new full size bed.

A new bed means new sheets, new comforter etc. Thank goodness for the Target after Christmas clearance. Holton's new comforter arrived last night and he was very proud. Notice I couldn't get one clear picture of him since he was too excited jumping on his bed.



It's so nice for him to have his own "big boy bed", but the down side is that Holton can just get right up and walk into our room whenever he wants to. He's got that down to a science now.

Oooh, we converted Tanner's bed. She's sneaking into our bed during the night too. Of course, we're already use to Hunter climbing into our bed at some point during the night. I guess it's "normal".
