try to be better

I was mildly scolded by some of my faithful followers this weekend when visiting my parents, so I will try to do better at updating!

Here are some recent photos of John Mark and a couple of funny stories about the goober.

On Sunday night he came up to me and said "Mommy, I think that maybe I need to use your phone. I need to text Kelly."

I have to say- having an "almost 3 year old" is teaching me a lot about myself. For instance: I start a lot of sentences with "I Think". Also, I use the words maybe and probably quite a bit too. John Mark tends to enjoy putting all of those things together into one sentence, which makes for some hilarious thoughts, I'm not going to lie.

Also- I think maybe (see, I just typed that from my thoughts without even realizing what I was thinking!!) I text a little too much...

Tuesday night, John Mark and I went to a party for staff wives from church and their kiddos. We played games and ate yummy food. John Mark thoroughly enjoyed playing with the big kids and kept up with the biggest of them. My sweet friend Amy gave us a ride, along with 3 of her kiddos. As we're driving, John Mark loudly proclaims: "Hey! Don't pick your nose. That's gross!" He was talking to Amy's youngest son, Aiden. So funny!

And now for a poop story, since we haven't had one of those in a while. We're working on potty training, really we are. And we are just SO close.....

At the party, I went outside to bring JM in so we could pray and eat. I found him hiding in the little playhouse, and he said "mommy, I think I probably pooped." Since I hadn't brought anything with me I told him to stop pooping so I could take him to the potty. Fortunately, he hadn't pooped just yet, and I ran him in to the bathroom where he immediately sat down and let it go. It might have been my proudest moment of the month.
