Baby Edwards......is a ___________!!!!!!!

Yes, We are having a BOY!!!  We are very excited to have this special boy in our family!  Carter went to the ultrasound and he is already talking about his "brother"... he asks daily, "I teach him tackle?" or  "I teach him play football?"   I hope they are the best of friends.  I am 20 weeks pregnant and growing bigger by the day it seems.  I have been meaning to take a picture of the belly, but have yet to get around to it.  I will get one on here soon. 

Potty Training Day #1

OK, so this was not actually day one...but this was SERIOUS DAY ONE!  We have tried before but with little success and the whole novelty wore off quickly.  He has used (#1 and #2) the potty a lot since he was 18 months old.  But then he decided he didn't want to sit on the potty.  But now we are seriously giving it a go again.  No more diapers exist.  He was in underwear all day today.  Yeah, not too successful and several accidents, but we wore them all day.  He even woke up dry from about a 3 hr nap.  I will keep you posted on our progress, but we are working hard at this one and hope to be successful.  If you have any tips, please let me know.  I wish I could just snap my fingers and be done.  Good things come with patience.  And wouldn't it be SOOOOOOOO good to have him out of diapers?!

I am thinking about bribery with a new toy and a sticker chart may work for him.  Cause treats DO NOT  work at this point.  (I guess we have trained him too well) He could care less.  Day 2 starts soon...I will let you know how it goes!

Chris got an offer....

Chris accepted a job offer on Wednesday.  We are very excited about the things to come!  Carter will miss being at home with his dad and "Daddy Day-Care", but we all will have to adjust.  We will keep you posted, but thanks to all that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers.  The economy has not been great here in Michigan, but the Lord has blessed our family in numerous ways!

We bought a car on Friday and are getting things lined up for our transition.  Fun times for the Edwards family!

We were especially happy today about Michigan State's won over Univesity of Michigan.  Go Spartan's...way to pull it out!

THIS KID CRACKS ME UP!

Carter is such a gabber.  He surprises me everyday at what he has to say.  Today we giggled pretty hard at this one...

Carter saw a mark on the wall and asked, "What's this from?" I responded "Did you do that?" when Carter said without hesitation and completely serious, "No...Baby did it...My sister did it!"

OK, we don't find out what we are having for about another week, but he is already blaming his sibbling before he/she is even here.  He is trouble.

I had a few other phrases that left us laughing...

-"Dad you're my HERO!" (Where he got that, I have no idea!)
-"Dad you're my best friend!"  as he leaned over the shopping cart and gave his dad a hug. (I think he got this from Franklin the turtle)
-"I wuv you too mom!"
-He leaned forward in his high chair and tooted in which he responded "You hear that dad?"
-"Come on...sing with me guys!" (He was signing in the back of the car as loud as can be)
-"crock-diles in my bed mom!"(he watched animal planet before bed...bad idea)

He is such a special boy with so much character and personality.  He keeps us smiling!
