Hey, whattya lookin’ at? I’m workin’ here!
Okay, so my must-have Kindle Fire apps while potty training are Road Trip (where I get to be a cat who drives a car to meet his friend!), My Little Work Garage (where I get to design a car!) and Potty Time with Elmo (where Elmo is potty training, just like me!).
I went to Cassandra’s Mom’s 40th birthday party and successfully drank from a juice box for the first time! I still don’t understand when Mommy tells me to suck on the straw, but I know how to squeeze the box to get the juice to come out.
When Mom and Dad put a potty in my bathroom a few months ago, I wanted nothing to do with it. Frankly, it freaked me out! But as time went on, and with a little help from the book “Potty” by Leslie Patricelli, I began warming up to it.
A few weeks ago, I started sitting on my potty in return for a sticker on my Potty Chart, and the promise that after filling a row with stickers, I would get a new car! And cars did I indeed get.
Well tonight, ladies and gentleman, I actually (drumroll please) p-p-peed in my potty! Holla! (Mom and Dad gave me a brand new school bus for that one. I am cashing in big time!)
I drank orange juice and tried some banana!
These pictures were taken a few days ago. Since then, I’ve also tried: pizza, chocolate, a pickle, a cheese puff, red bell pepper, and another Korean cracker Sebastian gave me!
And here is, by popular demand, my new bed! The best thing about it is that I can get on and off it all by myself. And it’s huge. And it has sheets with cars on it.
Yesterday, I drank milk from a cup for the first time! I used to not want anything to do with it. And I still won’t drink it out of a sippy cup or straw cup – No Way, José! But I decided to make Mom and Dad all giddy with excitement by drinking it out of a regular cup.
Over the weekend, Dad and I dismantled the crib. You’ve been great to me, crib, but the time has come to graduate to a BIG BOY BED.
I just got my first real non-Mom haircut to prepare for my big role as Ring Bearer at Auntie Lisa’s wedding!
Playing with cars? Awesome. The actual haircut? NEVER AGAIN.
Today, I ate part of a cookie! It’s the first time I’ve ever voluntarily eaten anything that’s not oh-so-silky-smooth. It took about ten minutes, but I slowly gnawed it away. Watch out, hamburgers! I’m looking at you next!
Yesterday, I graduated from speech therapy!
When I started 8 months ago, I didn’t say any words. Now I say hundreds of words and lots of 3- and 4-word sentences. Thank you, Jessie!
