Jacoby pretty much dresses himself completely now (sometimes backwards, but hey, we're not complaining). It's challenging for him, and sometimes fraught with angst and grumbling, but we're doing our best to encourage and empower him in this important milestone.
The great bed saga continues. We tried Morgan in the "toddler" part of the crib, but after falling out 3 times before midnight we decided that this might not be the best option for him. So, back to the crib he went until we could figure out Plan B. 
We enjoyed a great visit with Grandmanette and Grandpa Michael last weekend. Our weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside. The boys also enjoyed playing with Grandmanette's iPad.
One of our favorite activities: having a snack outside at the park.
Morgan on the playground.
Jacoby digging and scooping and dumping...one of his all-time favorite activities.
70 pounds of sugar! Grandmanette pulled our big boys around the lake until Jacoby decided he wanted to run and run and run!
Running with Grandpa Michael.
More fun with the iPad.
Here is Plan B for the bed situation. The boys had to show us that they could behave in their room once the lights went out...namely, Morgan staying in bed and Jacoby not encouraging his little brother to break out of bed. "Compliant" is not part of Morgan's DNA, as much as we can tell right now, but they did a great job for 5 nights!
Playing with cars on the track. This is a borrowed idea from a blog I follow every once in awhile.
Happy, silly boys.

We went up to Winter Park this weekend to enjoy some spring skiing. This wasn't Jacoby's best day thanks to a hefty case of grumble bugs and whiney-itis. In his defense, the snow was terrible because it was so warm. Justin and I had a hard time staying upright a few times! But we still enjoyed time in the mountains and are looking forward to a great season next year. We'll be putting Morgan on skis too, so it should be a lot of fun for the 4 of us.
Making his way down the slope. Jacoby seemed to like racing Mommy best. I did try holding the leash, which is a lot more work (i.e., holding back 40 lbs while also trying to keep oneself upright on skis without running the small 40-pound skier down!) than I ever realized and I give Justin a lot of credit for how much of it he did this winter!
And of course we had to have a snack...it's one of the things we do best!
And Morgan decided he needed a quick nap while riding in the backpack.
Here we are helping Daddy put together the long-awaited bunk beds.
As you can see, Jacoby wasn't excited about his new bed at all. Not at all...
Morgan is a little on the fence. He in theory is excited about his new bed, but I think he's still unsure. He's kind of little for this transition, so the crib is still up in the spare bedroom. This turned out to be a good thing because he came down with a fever last night and was up a good portion of the night. Thankfully, he's taking a really good nap in his new bed this afternoon with no mishaps.
Jacoby's doing really well sleeping on the top bunk. We've put some rules in place to keep everyone safe, and so far he seems to understand and is doing great.
We're looking forward to a busy week ahead. In the past 2.5 weeks, both of Jacoby's lead preschool teachers have quit. The whole thing has been a bit confusing, but the new teachers they've brought in are wonderful and Jacoby seems to be thriving. I'm looking forward to my first "Mommy Adventure" of the year with my trip to Hawaii this week (Tues - Fri). It looks like I may get a chance to visit Pearl Harbor after all of my meetings and before I jet back to Honolulu to have dinner with one of our commissioners and catch my flight. I'll send updates on my adventures.
Have a great week everyone!
