potty progress...teamwork!

whats gonna work?! teamwork!

my new tag line. the wonder pets save the cow episode is becoming a daily routine at home. i just love that story, and its so fun to watch and sing along. i love when the cow gets free from the tree! daddy changes the song to include my friends tim and tommy from school...its sooo funny!

me and daddy hit the potty before bed again tonight and whammo, got my pants off, diaper off, sat down and I pee pee'd! again! can you believe it!? i know daddy sure as heck couldn't. mommy didn't even make it in time to see (except what i left in the potty, oh, and a little on the floor), but she was psyched! we all high fived and went and got my jammies on. so far so good, the positive experiences are building up slowly.

not too much else going on. school has been going well, the kids are getting antsy with this cold weather and class has gotten a bit rougher as tempers flare, but as pretty much the youngest kid there, i'm holding my own. they just announced that they are starting a 12-18 months room at school too, so now there will be a whole class of kids that are younger than us. cool...hopefully we can help to mentor them like the older kids mentor us.

oh, baby riley, you left your loud loud choo choo here! and summer, your yamigashi game is here (or whatever its called). aunt beth, your toothbrush is here, i talk about it every time i brush my teeth and make sure its your still! :)

good night everone!

more potty stories and oh, some party stories too!

well, last night i surprised myself AND mommy and daddy. as i told you in my last post, daddy and mommy got me to sit on the potty right before bath time the other night. well, we tried again last night, and this time i was very excited to sit on it. took a while to get comfortable but with daddy by my side it was OK. we were all astonished though when i actually went pee pee! yes! pee-pee!!! i pee'd in the potty!

ok ok... i know, long way to go, but it sure was a positive experience, and i hope to build on it! :)

happy birthday to aunt tracy and i had a great time at your surprise party. apparently i spent most of the night sleeping upstairs, but it was fun playing with Adam and Riley before hand with all of Lexa's toys. during the day aunt beth, summer, uncle pj, and riley came over to watch me and lucy while mommy and daddy went to another party during the day! that was such fun too!

aunt beth took great care of me and played with me a lot on the floor with my choo choos. who could ask for anything more than that! then yesterday mom-mom and anna stopped by to say hello. anna and summer took turns pushing me around the house on my car, whoo hooo! Summer also really enjoyed Tom, my new rockin' horse. hope she doesn't miss it too much!!

talk to you all soon!

potty time....excellent....

hi everyone! i know i know...its been forever since i posted! things haven't been too busy, just thought I'd let some wonder and excitement build! :) heheh.

Not too much going on, but have been trying to really expand my vocabulary in the past few weeks. according to most, its expanding at a fascinating rate as to where if you talked to me before christmas break and talked to me now, i could probably talk back now, but couldn't then!

things though are going well. tonight before my bath i sat down on my new potty. it was pretty intimidating at first, but daddy sat on the potty next to me and then i sat on mine. it was pretty cool. plus, daddy showed me how to go pee pee sitting on the potty (even neater). i didn't have to go at the time, but i look forward to trying again. positive potty experience #1!

last week i had to go the dentist (negative dental experience #1). i have this staining issue with my teeth and we had to get the dentist to check it out. well, she wasn't that nice and the experience wasn't that fun. she did confirm there is nothing bad going on, which i am sure was a relief to mommy and daddy. i mean, we brush my teeth all the time, so i am not sure how anything that wasn't supposed to, could live in my mouth! so, i think i will go back to the dentist, but not any time too soon.

ok, thats it for now, all is well. i have been enjoying all my new and old toys and i htink my birthday is coming up in a few weeks. daddy and mommy keep showing me how to make a 2 with my fingers. i can't quite do it, but i have been practicing. i have a new favorite book, the little engine that could. i have been watching a little TV too. my favorite show is Wonder Pets. i really only like the one where they save the baby cow. i can sing most of the songs on there too (especially the TEAM WORK part!)

c-ya!!

back to school....(tomorrow)

back to school tomorrow. can't wait to see my buddy tim! I have expanded my vocabulary so much in the last couple weeks. lets see, our last day of school was dec 21st. So, it will have been 13 days off! i am pretty excited to get back though. i have played with all my toys pretty much, and most have entered into a "rotation" as daddy calls it. some of the batteries are even dying on them!! hope you all had a nice new years too. we didn't do much but a trip to home depot. new years eve at lexa's was pretty fun, lexa got some REALLY great toys to play with. not sure why we whisked out of there in the middle of the night, but i slept well all night, the first time the whole week.

talk to you all soon and hope you are enjoying reality again!
