Up at the crack of dawn...

Argh!!  My boys are waking up more and more consistently at pre-6am hours.  I'll tell you, the last couple of days, coming off of a grueling marathon and sickness that has built up, I'm not making up much for the exhaustion I'm feeling.

In addition to the early wake up times, I will say that Micah has truly started to figure out this potty training thing.  He figured out the pee part within the first week back in January...the pooping and staying clean and dry and definitely taken time though.  Finally 3 1/2 months later, we are getting there.  I haven't changed a poopy diaper in over 2 weeks now, and he's staying clean and dry more and more throughout the night and nap time.  Over the course of the 3 1/2 months, we've had maybe 2-3 accidents during the day, and the other times only come with a pull-up or diaper on that were during nap time or night time.  With that being said, however, he's now waking up in the middle of the night - sometimes multiple times! - and still getting up uber early due to his need to go potty.  I have to remind myself, at times, that I did want this :)  I did want a little boy potty trained, right?

So - all that to say that this morning both Micah and Reid were up by 5:40am, and I decided that I was going out for a run.  It was a real feel of 60 degrees, so the boys wouldn't get too cold, and I needed to get my first post-marathon run in.  Christian and I both have a half marathon coming up in 2 1/2 weeks, so training is not quite done yet!  What a beautiful morning, and since we were out so early, we even made a stop at the park on the way home.





I'm pretty sure both boys were having just a bit of fun!  :)  Love their smiles!!
