Happy 2nd Birthday Xander

 This past weekend we celebrated Xander's 2nd birthday.  I can't believe that my little boy is 2. Time has gone by so fast. We had a little party with family and the kid was spoiled. He now has all the trucks/cars that he could ever dream of.

I love how the cake turned out. I think its my new favorite.

I'm a Big Boy Now

Last Sunday Xander told his teacher at church that he needed to go potty and he went. So, all last week we were in potty training mood. The first day we had a lot of accidents, but as the week went on he started to get it. We are now in the 2nd week of training and only have a few accidents a day. He's doing awesome. Its going to be nice to have no kids in diapers, at least for a while.

Soccer

The past month we have been enjoying watching Janika play soccer. Her team had a great season and learned a lot. This year they had goalies and defenders. Janika loved being goalie even when she ended up with cleat marks on her hand. This may be Janika's last year of soccer, she's not sure if she wants to play again. I think it's a little too aggressive for her, she doesn't like taking the ball away from people.
