For starters, I took him to the Reservoir this past Friday and he had a blast. At first he didn't even want to get in the water, but after a few minutes of sitting on the edge of water we walked in, after a few minutes of holding my hand he wanted to walk around in the water by himself. For a while he refused to hold my hand even though I told him that not all parts were as shallow as where he was first standing.
Saturday, Jeff took him on his first real 4-wheeler ride to Copiah Creek. No we don't have pictures because I didn't go, but I did get play by plays a lot of the time. The first call Jeff told me that they had ridden for a while and then it was time to eat lunch, but Hayden refused to eat a thing because he was to busy playing in the creek. Then after Jeff and our friends ate they went off to ride some more, but like his mama and daddy, that little dude is a fish out of water. Jeff said he preferred acting like a fish in the creek over 4-wheeling, but of course LOVED that also.
He is now potty trained (for the most part) he still wears the pull-ups when he sleeps because I'm not very brave yet, but will still wake up on occassions to go to the bathroom.
This morning was when I knew I wasn't needed, or wanted for that matter, when he was going #2 and I went to check on him (normally he wants me in there with him) and he said, "get out mama". Many tears wanted to form at that moment, but I held back realizing my little baby is not a baby anymore. Not to mention the fact that he is now taking showers instead of baths and loves those also, not afraid at all!
