Okay first off, thank you Grandma Jo for the really cool balls from the learning store. Now that that is said and done.

Mommy was driving me to Gymboree and I was playing quietly with one of the balls in the back seat. Suddenly it went whizzing by Mommy’s head and straight under the gas pedal in the mini-van. Mommy whipped off her shoe in mid turn and fetched the ball with her foot (kicked it backwards). Mommy said thank goodness it wasn’t the brake pedal. No more balls in the car! 🙁

Secondly, Mommy and Daddy went on a “date night” to see The Last Mimzy, which they LOVED. I stayed home with Karina and played with my animals. At 7pm she said it was time for my bath and I took her “fingers” and led her to the bathroom. She stripped me down and I wanted to turn on the faucet (she let me). Then I told her “potty, potty, potty”. She was confused because no one had told her that I am becoming a BIG boy (Mommy said she had no need since I haven’t gone in the potty for two days). She set me on the potty and I went pee-pee almost immediately. I didn’t want to get off the potty. She was SHOCKED to say the least. I finally let her take me off and then I told her I needed to wash my hands. She was MORE shocked! Next was bath-time. I wanted NOTHING to do with bath-time. Mommy said she will wash me tomorrow (I have purple paint on my tummy still from stamping with giant ink-pads out back this afternoon). When Mommy and Daddy got home Karina told them of my potty adventures.

Mommy and Daddy are SOOOOO proud of me. Tomorrow I get to try on the BIG boy undies that we bought at Target today. I picked out Thomas the Tank and Elmo! 🙂

YEAH FOR ME! 🙂

Dearest Potty,

I enjoyed using your services twice. I think I am now done. So you will have to sit alone in the bathroom until a BIG boy comes by. For some reason I like to scream bloody murder when I get near you. If Mommy and Daddy get me on top of you I scream that I am “stuck”. I did have a fun time sitting on you and playing with Shrek stickers today. But, I absolutely REFUSE to do pee-pee in the potty like the other day.

Mommy said she will keep trying. Daddy said if I go in the potty I get a pop-pop! (lollipop or ice cream depending on the situation for those of you who missed it).

*sigh* I may never again taste a pop-pop. 🙁

oh bother!

Love,

I spent a large amount of today playing with my animals. I made a parade and we marched. I sorted them by animal type and then again by if they had four legs (Mommy helped with that one).

I placed them ALL along the edge of the foyer and then swung my arms until they all flew away. I even figured out I could spin them really fast on an old baby toy I still have!

It was a fun animal day.
Mommy said I am growing like a weed.

I still make cute faces.

and most of all, I still curl my toes.

Today after dinner (i had king crab, applesauce and broccoli) I was filthy and Mommy took me for a bath. She got me in the tub and I said “Mommy potty” so she pulled me out and I sat on the potty for a few minutes. Then guess what? I made a pee-pee in the potty! All by myself! I even knew to flush! 🙂

We got to go Brewster’s Ice Cream for a celebration “pop-pop” (ice cream or lollipop depending on the situation). Everyone was so proud of me! 🙂 I am too!

Mommy got me cleaned up when we got home and before changing my diaper asked if I needed to potty before bed… It took me a few minutes to decide that I should probably try. I took Mommy and Daddy to the potty room and they set me on the potty and right away I went pee-pee again! 🙂 I giggled with delight! 🙂 I AM SO PROUD OF ME!

Mommy let me wear a pull-up diaper to bed tonight because I am such a big boy!!

YIPPIE!

This morning Mommy and I were playing with my Winnie-the-Pooh sticker book and I was having her take stickers off the sheet. In a cute innocent voice I said “ooo-eeee (Eyeore) too, have him please.”

Mommy and Daddy are really impressed with my language explosion. I have my moments though… somedays it is mostly babble and then others it is very developed speech. This language explosion is very interesting to Mommy and Daddy.

Also I hurt Mommy this morning… I was sitting next to her on the bed and I suddenly had the urge to headbutt her face! I got her right on the cheekbone. Mommy was mad but said it was an accident so I got off the hook this time!

I am kind of wound up today…

Mommy thinks I had an IV of sugar during the night…
