June 2015

June has been a big month for Preston as he has accomplished many things this month...

1) He started sleeping along in his new room and new big boy bed (accompanied by his red car, blankie and stuffed animals of course)

2) Learned to swim on his own with his floaties on

3) Went to his first Rangers game

4) Went to Fossil Rim for the first time

5) Hasn't had an "accident" during the day or night for weeks

6) Knows Green means Go, Red means Stop and Yellow means Slow Down...Mommy

Preston is getting bigger and bigger by the minute and lately we have noticed how tall he is getting. He loves running around the center tree in the backyard especially when it has rained and its muddy. He's into monster trucks not only to play with but also to watch on the iPad. He has started to let us know that we are his "Best Buddies Ever, only boys can say "Oh Yea Yea", girls have to say "Ohhhh.

One of his favorite activities is throwing as many things into the pool as he can along with looking at his poop after each and every poo poo he takes. When he uses the potty, he likes to tell you to close the door "bit bit" which means, a little bit and then he will say "Stop". 

When we drop him off at school, he tells us "you need to go to work Mommy/Daddy". 

He brings so much joy to our lives and we wouldn't know what we would do without him!!

Playing at his favorite spot

Swimming On His Own (With Floaties)

Preston loves playing in the pool but getting him to feel confident to swim around on his own with this floaties on has been a challenge. Up until this point, he needed to hang onto someone to feel comfortable to move around the pool but after getting a boost of confidence when he floated to Mal for a brief second, thats all it took for his confidence to sky rocket. 

He learned how to push off the step and then kick his feet to get him to the other side. He did this routine over and over and it took a little while for him to discover and feel comfortable pushing off the other steps. But now he wants to go swimming every day and its fun to be able to watch him without always having to get in as well.

Way to go Preston!!!

Here he goes...on his own!

Fossil Rim Adventure

Brent finally had a Saturday kind of off so we wanted to take advantage of that time and do something fun with Preston. We thought he would love seeing the animals at Fossil Rim so we loaded up and headed out. We took our time making it through the park and by the end of the day, Preston had built up the courage to feed some of the animals from his hand. We all loved feeding the Giraffe's and Zebra's and feeling the fuzzy antlers on the deers. It was a fun day and we are looking forward to more days like these!
