Another month has already come and gone! Not sure how it came so quickly, but it did.
This month you made the transition from the young toddler class at school to the early preschool 1 class. You seem to have adjusted well and you are doing great at drinking out of a regular cup. Your naps seem to be back on schedule now with you sleeping for 2 hours.
Your vocabulary continues to amaze me each month! You continue to add more and more phrases. . ."more oranges/bananas/etc." "hold mommy", "up mommy", "no emmy", "two loveys", "mickey mouse", "big bite," "big boy," "more hot dog dance." etc. You pretty much repeat everything we say now. We also discovered that you can sing baa baa black sheep. One day you just broke out into the song. Who knows how many other songs you have in your repertoire.
This month you seemed to be very attached to Mommy and Daddy. I'm thinking that maybe you are getting your 2 year old molars in, but of course that's just a guess. You constantly say "up Mommy" or "up Daddy" because you want us to hold you. I'm definitely not complaining about the extra snuggles though! Mommy loves them!
I tried really hard to start limiting your paci ("that") this month by not allowing it in the car anymore. Let's just say we made it about a week and a half and you now have it back in the car. Haha. This mama wasn't tough enough and gave in. I'll just wait and tackle that challenge another week. :)
You continue to test your lmits at home and as a result, the timeouts continue. I do feel like the hitting has gotten better though, so I count that as a success. Getting out the door in the mornings has started to become a challenge. You think it's a game when I tell you it's time to leave and you run away from me while trying to get out the door and into the car. Sigh. You have started to throw the mother of all tantrums lately. You will get so worked up that you will cry until you turn blue or cause yourself to throw up. Let me just tell you how fun this game is! We're at the point now where we usually give in to you in order to prevent this from happening.
Starting this month you have gotten really good about telling us when you go "tee tee" or "poo poo" in your diaper. For about a week, Daddy would wrap you in your towel after bathtime and you would go squat on the carpet outside the bathroom and pee. :( So now we sit you on the potty after bathtime each night. You haven't gone yet, but it has seemed to stop the peeing on the floor. Haha.
You and your sister continue to have a love/hate relationship. Most times you guys love each other, but occasionally you will push your sister's buttons so badly or she will taunt you with a toy and you will scream and cry until you get your way. You hate to see her upset and sad though and will always go over and give her hugs and kisses to make her feel better.
Can I just say how much I love being a boy mom? I know I've said it in the past, but there's just something about you, Bud, that I can't get enough of. Maybe it's all your snuggles or that big smile on your face when you're testing your boundaries, but gosh I love you so much Little Man!!
