For starters, Jake started going on the potty! On Monday, he requested to sit on his "froggy potty" so he got naked, sat down, and we read a book. Just before we finished the book, I heard Ben fussing on the monitor so I ran upstairs to get him. When I came down, Jake had a huge smile on his face and was looking down excitedly. He said, "Mommy! Look!" I had no idea I could be so excited about seeing pee. Haha. There was lots of jumping up and down and high fives and cheering and dancing. Since then, he's gone five more times, three of which were today! Hooray for Jakey!
Next, we started looking for new places to live. Turns out we won't be able to get pre-approved for a mortgage until we both have pay stubs, so we're going to try and rent a home for a year. We think we've found one, we'll see it next week and let you know. As an aside, how ridiculous is it that a doctor and a lawyer can't get approved for a house?!
And yesterday was the busiest of all. First, Jake and I went and looked at a different house to consider renting. Then, we went to Bunnies Class at Zoo School. It was kind of pushing it nap-wise, but Jake really did a great job and seemed to have a lot of fun. He especially liked petting the real live bunny; he announced to the group after petting it, "I've gotta get one!" He had lots of fun playing around in shredded paper "grass" and "snow" looking for sticks and carrots to feed the pretend bunnies. And he even made bunny ears and a bunny tail - SO cute!! Finally, yesterday evening our friends Carla and Tony were kind enough to watch the boys for us while we attended Ryan's law review banquet. It was awesome to have an evening among adults, even if we did pay for it last night ;) Plus the boys had a fabulous time with their buddy Luke.
Well, that's all for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
