Update on Jayce

I wanted to jot down a few notes about what has been doing lately...

His 3 year dr. appointment stats first of all... 33 lbs and 38.25 inches... He was so excited to see Dr. Whitehead and upon first sight, shouted down the hall... I'm wearing big boy underpants and I pottied Dr. Whitehead! Also, unfortunately during the visit, as Dr. Whitehead was sharing a story about his little boy who Jayce sees in the kids nursery at the gym... Jayce exclaimed... Weaver does NOT LISTEN... an Dr. Whitehead looked a little surprised and said what? He said, Weaver had to go to time out yesterday at the gym... I was just slightly embarrassed... but at least the boy is honest... they will say anything right?

I might have already mentioned this... but Jayce and his daddy went to Lowes a few Saturdays ago and Jayce picked out a flower pot for me... a beautiful yellow gerber daisy! I asked Jay if he prompted this and he said, "Do you think that's the one I'd have picked! Heck no! I tried to talk him into something else but he really wanted that one for you!" But I LOVE it... It was so funny b/c I had just told Jay that I could not wait until the day Jayce brought me a flower!
On top of that sweet story, every day when he looks at the flower, he says, "Do you like your flower mommy?" I melt every time!

Also, he loves to tell me that I am his "favorite friend ever and ever"... and then he'll walk over to Jay and tell him the exact same thing... I have a feeling he is going to be two timing quite a bit!

He loves to tell Gabe that he is going to put him in time out any time that I have to tell Gabe not to do something... such as use his teeth while nursing... Jayce will run over and say "no no Gabe, I'm gonna put you in time out now!"

He also likes to tell us... or Gabe... or anyone he feels like telling... when he says to not do something... like don't put your drink there... never, never... that is his famous little saying these days...

Finally... potty training... we are really making some progress lately! We have stayed homebound practically all week and really worked hard on it... and I am definitely seeing improvement in this department! The only problem is that he still does not really want to go when we go other places unless I am there, I guess it is a comfort thing... He did go at the Dr.'s office... I'm sure there were no germs there! and he has been at church and at Daddy's "work."

Another problem we have had is with Jayce going crazy wanting treats all the time, which I had to do to get him interested... but the 2 m and m s have lost their appeal, then the gum machine was no longer exciting and he wanted candy or fruit snack gummies every time... both loaded with sugar... so could only go along with that game for so long... we are now using fruit nuggets made with 66% fruit purees... and they have way less sugar and calories.. OR yogurt covered pretzels... neither of these are super for him... but we had to use something different than what he's allowed to eat every day in order to keep him motivated...
ANYHOW, as I was pottying the other day, he said, mom, do you get a treat now? I said No, see when big people potty, they don't need treats... like none of your cousins or older pals... I could see his little wheels turning... he said, hmm... I still need treats!

that's another thing he does... rubs his fingers over his chin and says hmmm....all the time...

One last thing... cute story from the gym today... I dropped the boys off, and 2 of the girls that worked there said, "have you ever thought about doing modeling or entering him in those baby contests?" I replied that they were so sweet but that one time, I did enter him in the regis and kelly cute baby contest and got rejected and so mad, I never considered it again... of course, every mom believes there baby is cute enough to win right? They said, well we should have one here, and we would definitely pick Jayce! He is so cute and always makes girlfriends when he comes... they said that he takes the girls by the hand and says "come with me" and off they go... just had to brag on my little cutie a bit!I have absolutely nothing to do with how he looks, as he is his daddy's mini me! but how fortunate I am to have 3 handsome fellas!
