Big Boy Bed

So it's official. My baby is now a big boy. We have officially converted his crib into a big boy bed and boy was Jacob excited! All he could say the first day was WOW! It took him 3 days to figure out he could actually get out of it on his own which made for a hard naptime but nighttime stayed pretty much the same. He woke up real early yesterday but that I don't think had anything to do with his bed. And naptime today was actually better than normal with a long 2.5 hour nap. He's such an easy child. Now if we could only figure out this potty training crap we'll be on our way :)

What a rainy weekend!

So Jon and I went this past weekend and stayed in a cabin in Pigeon Forge to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary. It was a pretty cabin, very secluded however it rained the whole weekend. It stopped long enough Friday for us to play some very soggy putt-putt golf. Then we came back and were going to go in the hottub but it was kinda grimy so we got out of that and were going to use the jacuzzi tub as a hot tub instead but forgot the fact that the cabin had well water so when we ran the tub, it smelled somewhat like a rotten eggs (sulfur smell). The funny thing about Jacuzzi tubs (rotten eggs or not) is that you really shouldn't turn on the jets before the water is completely covering all of them. I learned this the hard way. Poor Jon was sitting in the tub and I decided to turn the jets on and it was possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen. He's being squirted from all directions by these high powered jets and because in this cabin like most cabins the tub was in the bedroom, the whole room got wet too. It was so funny I almost peed my pants :) We gave up on the hottub(s) and went to dinner. Then Saturday we woke up early because there was a very loud bird that lived outside the cabin that wanted to make sure we knew he was there. So we just got up and went and had breakfast. It was only overcast at this point so I was holding out hope. Alas, the minute we paid for our tickets at Dollywood here comes the rain. Well since we're pretty flexible we went and bought some ponchos and continued on in the rain. They didn't close any rides so we were able to ride everything and pretty quickly. Apprently people don't like to ride roller coasters in the rain, so we got right on every ride. NO lines at all which was great. A rain drop to the eye at 70 mph hurts like heck but at least there were no lines. We ended our day at the park around 1 pm soaking wet but still in good spirits. We went back to the cabin and called the people who owned it and made them come clean the hot tub so we could use it. They did so promptly so we were able to enjoy the rest of the rainy Saturday in the hot tub and eating pizza. Overall it was a very nice weekend (despite the rain) with a wonderful husband. I look forward to the next 50 years together as we continue on our little journey together :)
