Lunch time

Today Collin got to practice being a good example. With sister's birthday right around the corner I have been incorporating her in meal times a lot more.  So today when Collin asked if we could eat at his little table for lunch I said sure why not.

Instead of putting RaeLynn in the walker or swing I let her sit at the table with us. 
Collin was the best big brother. He showed her how to sit in her chair and he stayed in his seat the whole time.  He even helped her to be ok with taking her food off her plate.

More and more each day Collin grows into a great and loving big brother!

I think we have it!

What is it?

Potty training.

It has been an interesting process and I'm not saying we are out of the woods completely but I can deffinately see the other side of the forrest.

The unspoken, unofficial goal to be potty trained before 3 was met!

Fishing

Today Collin got to do something he has been begging todo for months now.

Today Collin went fishing! And he absolutely loved it. It was the cutest thing ever to watch him.

He couldn't really get the hang of the casting so either daddy or gramps would cast it out and then Collin would real it back in.

After a little while he decided to take a break from the fishing so I took his shoes off and let him walk in the water. That lasted for about 5 seconds until he started sinking in the sand. That was NOT what he signed up for!  So out of the water and on to his towel he went where he spent the next hour tossing rocks in to the lake.

To say that he was exhausted when we left would be an understatement. He was asleep in his car seat before we even left the lake!
