Sunday funday

Today we wanted to go to the semi new quarry splash park here in Cedar Park since Mark hadn't been there before. It's pretty cool, it's supposed to look natural, with both fake and real rocks and landscaping for the kids to play on, etc. However, we arrived only to find guy sitting in a lawnchair ready to greet us. Apparently something blew and it won't be fixed until next week. I wasn't really listening, I was already trying to formulate a plan B, while Wade kept asking what was going on. Over and over and over.

Next stop, Brushy Creek splash pad. Not as cool and way more crowded, but just as fun for Wade and Daddy :)

Practicing his shot

Direct hit! Nooooooo...

Recently, we've taken away some of Wade's TV time. The kid watches 4 half hour shows a day, so I wanted to cut a little out anyway, especially since he's started liking playing on the computer and games on my phone. Anyway, I got tired of taking TV away when he wasn't "making good choices," so I just agreed to it when he wakes up in the morning and right after naptime. The other times (before nap and before bedtime), he has to earn. For every kind/nice/helpful thing or good decision or being a good listener, or whatever applies, he gets a sticker. 1 sticker equals 1 show (15 minutes), 2 equal 2 shows (30 mins), 3 is a movie, and 4 is an extra special treat of his choice. We break it up into mornings and afternoons of each day of the week, so it's pretty feasable that he'll at least get 1 sticker. Usually. I know, I know. This is such a teacher thing, but I have to say, I think it's working! He's really proud of himself when he earns a sticker and has been a lot better recently. And by recently, I mean today. I guess I'd be happier too, if I were getting things instead of always getting them taken away :)

In other news, the pacifier is going well. Now, I can even lay her down in her crib when she's sleepy and she'll fall asleep. By herself. What?! I told Mark, I keep thinking that I don't know what to do when she does that. I feel like I'm forgetting something or not doing something that I should because Wade would scream bloody murder if you put him down and he was not fully, dead to the world, asleep. It was WORK putting him to bed. And still is! She will wake up and cry if she drops her paci and is not quite asleep, but I have a feeling she'll figure out how to hang on to it soon. Here's a few cute pictures of Lilybug :)

Today was a big day- I found my tongue...

...and sat in my Bumbo seat for the first time. I am very proud of myself :)

Sleepy girl. I still think the paci might be magic.
