So, I have the best pictures of our potty training over the past few days, but my camera is really acting up... AND I can't get my pictures downloaded... does anyone have any recommendations on a nice digital camera without much delay that is reliable... this is my 2nd kodak that is dying on me basically within a year...I can't spend a fortune but if anyone has any ideas, please email me or comment!
anyhow, we are starting to potty train again... lately I have been home so much, between the me, then the boys, and Jay all being sick... and now back to me again with my 2nd bout of mastitis... I figured I might as well make the most of this time stuck in the house... and try to accomplish something... so we started letting Jayce wear big boy underpants around again... he had been really interested up until Gabe was born... and had actually been pottying pretty regularly till then, then he wanted nothing to do with it for quite some time, so I took my mom's advice (who had 3 boys) and said that boys were slower in this department and rather than pushing him and getting into a power struggle, wait until he was ready... So, I was doing that... and now it seems he is ready... He has gotten quite excited about pottying, especially because his reward is 2 m and m's, which he calls (lm and lm's)... he has done really well with sitting on his little potty (or big if we are upstairs) and reading his little magazine and tee teeing... he gets so proud and loves to help me empty it out and wash hands and of course get m and m's! We are so proud of him and he loves to tell me after I tell him that, "I'm proud of you too mommy!" It is too cute... I'll post pictures as soon as I can of him reading his little magazine on the potty, it is too cute!
His favorite toys to play with since Christmas are his new Dr. Kit... and he has had plenty of practice with that with our whole household being sick lately... he loves to take our temp, give us shots ("I'm gonna make you cry now he says and gives us a shot) and prescribing "med med." He also is very quick to get us bandaids when we tell him we do not feel well... This morning I was laying on the couch and he came over and just started rubbing my head and saying go back to sleep mommy... it was the sweetest thing! His other favorite thing to do these days is play with salad tongs... he LOVES the things and would rather run around picking things up with those than do anything else... it's kind of strange, but hey, he's alot more coordinated with the things than I am...maybe he'll be a surgeon???
Jayce has been very sweet with Gabe lately and keeps telling him he'd better "keep his hands out of his mouth or he'll get sick" as many of you remember we had to work on this with Jayce forever... and he's not understanding why Gabe can't seem to keep his own out of his mouth too...
One last thing I wanted to write before I forget to, lately when I lay down with Jayce a few minutes before his nap... and he's chattering away, I tell him he has to be quiet and go night night or I'm going down stairs... he is quiet for a minute and then he'll say "I love you mommy." Now, is he smart or what... how can I get mad about that and leave right after that... he knows too, he does it every time, and just gives me this big grin... then he proceeds to sing an upbeat little tune... I love you mommy, I love you mommy, I love daddy too, I love daddy too, I love Gabe too, I love Gabe too, I love me too.. I love me too.(this is the funniest part).. that is for sure... he is definitely 2!
