First of all, (drum roll, please)
He is POTTY TRAINING!!! What I thought was the impossible task has been underway for the past couple of weeks and with great success! The first couple of days were awful, but once he got, he has been 100%.
Now here are the asterisks:
*We must carry around the froggy training potty in the car with us at all times because he is not always keen on public restrooms.
*He will not stand up to pee yet...which makes public restrooms a pretty gross issue anyway.
*#2 has not been quite as easy and that is still a work in progress.
But, with the way things looked a month or two ago, I am calling what we have happening a HUGE SUCCESS! There for a while, I was pretty sure he was going to kindergarten in diapers. :)
And ironically enough, since he has been potty training, his vocabulary has also opened up. He speaks in complete sentences all the time now and can actually answer a open-ended question without a ridiculous response.
For example:
Before, I would ask him what his favorite color was and his answer would be: "um, milk!"
Now, he seems to actually be listening and comprehending what we are asking him.
Again, may be a coincidence or it may be that he just needed this push to become a "big kid."
Either way I will take it. It could not have come at a better time since we are now on countdown to baby girl's arrival!
And...
He got a new big boy bed this week!
We finally moved the crib to the baby's room and got Andrew a twin bed just like Will's. He is pretty thrilled with his new digs!
All these little things just add up to the fact that our littlest boy is really growing up. We are so proud of him and I think he is pretty proud of himself too! :)
Soon to come....pictures of baby girl's room!!!
