Counting to 10!

(From my journal to Jacob)

Potty training didn't go well today. You never went on the potty. You want your diapers.

Tonight we were playing and trying to count. We were trying to get you to count to four. You kept saying, "One, two... two, one..." then you just suddenly said, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" without hesitating. Your dad and I were laughing so hard!

The First Try at Potty Training

(From my journal to Jacob)

You say, "My do it" or "My go outside." :) Tomorrow you're starting potty training at daycare. Wow. I think I changed your last diaper tonight. Craziness.

Almost

(From my journal to Jacob)

When you shoot a basket and miss, you say, "Almost!"

You make Frog and Wally burp and then say, "Excuse me!"

What Ya Doing, Sienna?

(From my journal to Jacob)

You are afraid of the smoke detectors. You've been afraid of something down the hallway for a long time. We finally figured it out tonight. We kept telling you it was good and okay. You'd repeat that, but it was obvious that you didn't believe us.

You also won't go into your closet anymore.

Sienna and Keaton (and Uncle Daniel and Aunt Heidi) were over tonight. We were all eating and Sienna was on the floor alone. You went over to her, gently put your hand on her back, leaned down to face her, and said, "What ya doing, Sienna?" and you kept leaning down to her to talk, always putting your hand gently on her back. You brought her toys closer to her, too. It was so sweet. Your dad said you really need a sibling. :)

You say "check diaper" when you're about to poop. You still try not to.

More Milk, Mommy!

(From my journal to Jacob)

You say, "Watch Wiggles" a lot. This afternoon, you woke up from your nap saying, "Can (I have) more milk, Mommy" over and over again. It was so quiet that we only heard it because the monitor was on. :) Now, instead of "jumping" on the bed, you climb (with assistance).

Daddy's Goose

(From my journal to Jacob)

You love to say, "Where'd it go?" and hold your arms out. You say, "Daddy sleep. Mommy, too." You are very good at adding "-ing" to words and using it correctly.

The other day you pointed to some geese and said, "Goose." I said, "Yes, that's a goose." "Daddy's goose?" "No, it's not Daddy's goose. It's not anyone's goose." You paused and then said, "Daddy's geese?" :)

You say, "Car wash? Not today!" "Get gas. Cars getting gas? Get gas in it? In car?"

You sing, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." You love the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "My Funny Valentine." You call it, "You're My."

Sarah Come?

(From my journal to Jacob)

You've known for a while, but I forgot to write that you know when people are crying, they are "sad." You know to say "happy," too.

You love to dance to the Wiggles. You say, "Sarah come?" if you want to see someone (like Sarah).

You wear a little over a size 7 shoe now. You wear a 2T or 24 mo shirt (some 18 mo) and 18 mo pants have plenty of room. 24 mo pants fall down.
