Transition Time at the Gothreaux's


Here's Andy's new room...we're still waiting on a friend to finish up a few canvas painting to go on the wall above his bed.

It's official, Andy is now in a big boy bed...it was quite sad moving him out of his crib and into his big bed. Needless to say, Andy loves his big boy bed and loves the fact that we are always referring to him as a Big Boy now!
Before Baby Girl Gothreaux arrives, there are several things "I" would like Andy to transition to and moving him to a big bed was the first one on my list! I say "I" because some things on my list might be wishful thinking on my part. He's doing pretty well with staying in his bed during the night...he usually only gets up once and then back to his bed "WE" go! So...right now the challenge is trying to have him stay in his bed all night! But in the midst of focusing on getting the new sleeping situation perfected...we lost paci somewhere in the house. Uh oh...that was our last pacifier and I wasn't sure what we were going to experience not having it once we went to bed that night. Well Andy helped us search high and low throughout the house looking for his "pa pa" but unfortunately we were all unsuccessful in finding it! But when bed time came, he asked for it a couple of times, but I repeatedly reminded him that we was a Big Boy now and that he really didn't need it any longer! So we are now 1 day away from not having our papa for a week now! It has been so good and such an unexpected accomplishment! Thank you Lord for providing this opportunity for change and transition to occur so smoothly! But on a side note, I did find the lost pacifier under the curtains...and it is hidden in a special place now! HA!

LATE...but not forgotten

Ok so it's already February and I'm just now getting around to uploading my December pictures...what have I been doing with all my time? Hum??? I just don't know. HA! Well needless to say, Christmas was wonderful and getting to spend it with both families was an added bonus.
We were in Eunice the week of Christmas and Monday we decided to take a little drive to Baton Rouge. We had a great time showing Andy the State Capital. He LOVED climbing all the stairs and then once we got to the top of the capital it was time for Andy's history lesson! Daddy sure loved telling him all about it and enjoyed showing us where he used to work.

Of course we had to stop and see Mike before heading back to Eunice. What a great day!

Daddy and Andy playing with magnets at MawMaw Fleur's...hum I wonder if little girl Gothreaux is going to partake in these same type of activities as Andy enjoys so much???

Here we are on Christmas morning at MawMaw and PawPaw's house. This Christmas Andy was more into his gifts...more so then the wrapping paper like last year.

Thanks to Aunt Sheena, Uncle Micah, J, and Z, Andy really has enjoyed his rain gear!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PUG!!! While we were all together in Luling, we decided to celebrate Dad's birthday a few days early. Jaylin and Andy loved tip-toeing with the cupcake as we sang Happy Birthday to Dad! They enjoyed passing out the cupcakes to everyone as well! They were funny to watch!!!
