The past couple of weeks have been very exciting for Mack. We are so proud of him and can't believe how fast he is growing. The other day in the car he told me that when he is a "man" he wants "to go on a mission and tell people about Jesus Christ." When we see missionaries out and about, I explain to him who they are and what they do, but I've never asked him if he wants to go. I was quite shocked when he told me that's what he wants to do. So proud...
For the past 2 weeks he has been wearing real underwear and has only had 2 accidents, none of which were last week. He loves telling people about them and I love not changing diapers! I think he might be close to night time training, too. Sometimes he wakes up completely dry and asking to use the potty. So proud...
Last weekend he did his freestyle at his first clogging competition. It was held at Thanksgiving Point in the red barn and I had been working the previous weekend for the dance portion. He was there for maybe 5 minutes and wanted to dance on the stage before the competition started. It was really hard getting him off there, so I told he he could go back the following week and dance with Garrett (his little buddy). Everyday he talked about getting to dance with Garrett on stage. When the time finally came, he was so excited! He performed really well and wasn't even nervous or scared. Of course, they both won 1st places. So proud...
Thursday, I received a phone call from Utah Valley Magazine and, would you believe, Mack won a photo contest! I entered a couple of pictures I took of him for fun, but didn't expect to win. Obviously, being Mack's mom, I think he's a cute kid. It's just that there are a lot of cute kids in the valley. Anyway, he will be in the May issue of the magazine and he won a $100 gift certificate to a kid's boutique in Highland. So proud...
I can't remember which photos I sent in, but I know one of them was the picture at the top of this post. I'm hoping this was the other.
As you can see, we've had some very exciting events take place around here. Hopefully I'll have fun things to blog about next time.
