Our little boy is growing up!

The past couples weeks have been big for our little man Brody. Lots of changes - big and small! Brody is (mostly) taking the changes well. These changes have proved to Jake and I that our toddler is growing up!

Brody got a new brother to start with, we buzzed his head, he got a twin bed and yesterday he started preschool!!

Oh and no picture to prove it but Brody went potty on the toilet for the first time Monday night. We have slowly been doing more to potty train him and I think the timing was right the other night. It will still take a while due to the communication delay but we are off to a pretty good start!

So far no falls off the bed!

Before

After

After almost a year in speech therapy Brody is transitioning from therapy to preschool. As much as Jake and I realize how good preschool is going to be for him we are sad to say goodbye to such wonderful therapists.

Brody didn't want to wear his backpack for us on the first day. Here we are waiting for the bus to come. Of course Brody got a cold the day before so he was grumpy and very tired for his first day of preschool. But we later talked to his teacher and he actually did pretty well.

So far it seems the bus will take some getting used to.

Since Jake and I had some free hours in the morning while Brody was gone we thought we'd just relax and this picture proves it was very much needed (not so much by Ryan but he just gets so comfortable when Daddy holds him he just dozed off)!

P.S. We are very lucky that Brody is able to go to preschool because with the cut backs at DES and DDD the therapy would stop for Brody next month anyway and he would have nothing to help his delays. The preschool is free and its through Mesa Public Schools - we are very blessed and grateful.
